Days after Gomez announced her engagement to Blanco, Bieber posted a loving photo of himself with his wife, Hailey, on Instagram.

While the image itself wouldn’t have turned heads on a normal day, the 30-year-old singer chose to play Lizzy McAlpine’s “All My Ghosts” in the background.

Once the post gained traction, fans speculated that Bieber was subtly getting closer to his ex-girlfriend, as the song’s lyrics reflect sweet memories with an ex that the songwriter can’t seem to shake.

Although Gómez announced their engagement in December, Blanco reportedly proposed in August.

According to the daily mailThe couple chose to keep their engagement a secret because the Rare Beauty founder was determined that the announcement would not coincide with the news that her ex-boyfriend, Bieber, had become a father.

“They got engaged in August and Selena didn’t want her engagement to be tied to Bieber in any way,” the source shared. “They knew it would be like that.”

The source explained that Gomez was wary of public speculation, saying, “Selena knew there would be stories accusing her of getting engaged to divert attention from Justin’s baby or that people would say she did this to get over him.”

Despite the secrecy, rumors of their engagement surfaced in August when Gomez posted a selfie with a heart emoji strategically placed on her ring finger, sparking speculation among fans.

While it is unclear whether Bieber was trying to get close to Gomez, sources close to the singer have previously stated that he is more focused on fulfilling his responsibilities to his son, Jack, and his wife.
