Justin Bieber’s fans are buzzing with speculation after the singer shared a seemingly cryptic message in a recent Instagram post, prompting questions about its possible connection to his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. The timing of the post has fueled even more intrigue, as Gomez, 32, had just announced her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco, showing off a sparkling diamond ring. Fans have quickly connected the dots, wondering if Bieber’s post contains a hidden message aimed at his former love.
Bieber shared the photo of himself with his wife, Hailey Bieber, in a close-up shot that showed her kissing his cheek while he wore a cap. While the picture itself seemed innocent, it was the song choice that raised eyebrows. Bieber selected All My Ghosts by Lizzy McAlpine, and certain lyrics in the song have sparked widespread speculation. Fans quickly honed in on lines such as, “I can see it now. The wedding of the year, I can see it now, he stands up there and wipes his tears,” and “I can see it now, when all my ghosts disappear, I can see it crystal clear.” These lyrics have led some to believe that Bieber might be referencing his past relationship with Gomez, with fans interpreting the words as a veiled comment on the engagement.
Bieber and Gomez had an on-again, off-again relationship from 2010 to 2018, and many fans still hold onto their past romance. The timing of the post, coinciding with Gomez’s engagement announcement, has only intensified the speculation. Meanwhile, Hailey Bieber, who is now married to Justin, expressed her well-wishes for Gomez by liking her engagement announcement on Instagram.

The cryptic nature of Bieber’s post didn’t go unnoticed by his followers. One user commented, “But why that song,” while another remarked, “The lyrics of the song he added… he’s doing it on purpose at this point.” A third user commented, “Of course he was gonna post something now,” with others suggesting that Bieber was expressing regret or longing for what could have been. “He’s really saying damn, I missed out. I wish that was me, without saying it,” one fan wrote, while another added, “We know why you posted this.”
Despite the speculation, neither Bieber nor Gomez have publicly commented on the potential connection between the Instagram post and the engagement news. Fans will likely continue to watch for any further hints or responses.
