Justin Bieber Moving On From ‘Defeated’ Selena Gomez — Will She Recover?


Hollywood Life reports that Justin Bieber is finally ready to settle down again, and it won’t be with long-time on-again off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez.

The flirtatious pop star is said to be interested in settling down and “having a serious relationship” with actress Nicola Peltz.

“Justin has a crush on Nicola and really enjoyed the date with her the other night. He wants to settle down and have a relationship. He feels like something steady would be good for him.”

Justin and Nicola apparently went on a date recently and Bieber expressed his interest in taking things further, saying he believes “something steady would be good for him.”

It comes after weeks of what some have dubbed “bizarre behavior” from Justin Bieber. The Purpose heartthrob broke down on stage during an emotional performance of his song “Purpose,” which is about his relationship with God. The deeply religious pop star canceled the fan meet-and-greets he had arranged to do during his tour, saying that he felt drained from “absorbing the spiritual energy” of so many different people. Soon after, Justin announced that he would no longer be taking photos with his fans, saying that he “feels like a zoo animal” and needs to do what is “fit for [his] growth.”

While some opined that it sounds like the superstar is in a dark place, others thought it seemed more like Justin was in the middle of a spiritual awakening and a search for authenticity.

Bieber was seen barefoot, listening to music, and climbing trees in Chicago parks in recent weeks, according to Yibada.

[T]he “Sorry” singer Justin Bieber returned to the Boston Public Garden and sat straddling a branch of a tree. The news came days after he walked barefoot, fed squirrels, and warned fans not to take pictures with him.

For a second day in a row, Bieber enjoyed his time alone in the park. He listened to “Scarborough Fair” music playing in the background, had his headphones and waved his arms up in the air. It was a strange Bieber behavior in Massachusetts [sic].

The Yibada report notes that Justin announced his photo ban on the same day that he was spotted in parks, grounding himself and getting in touch with nature.

[On the] same day Bieber was seen first time at the park, he alarmed fans to stop taking pictures with him. He said he was finished taking pictures with his followers because they don’t recognize him as a human. It made him feel like a zoo animal, and he wanted to keep his sanity, Bieber explained in his Instagram post.

The Bieber awakening is thought to have begun back in March, with the cancelation of the meet-and-greets.

Bieber’s strange ways are not new as he has been showing eccentric kind of behavior since March. That time, he canceled all his meet and greet with fans and claimed they left him emotionally drained.

Is the romance with Nicola Peltz the latest sign that Justin Bieber is changing?

In recent years, the hunk has been known for his flirtatious and womanizing ways, dating a slew of Instagram models, taking Hailey Baldwin on a getaway to St. Barths, getting involved in friends-with-benefits relationships with Kendall Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian, and repeatedly hooking up and breaking up with long-term lover Selena Gomez, who was his serious girlfriend for a time.

Gomez told reporters that her relationship with Bieber was so volatile and complex that she would feel “defeated” and drained even after talking about him to interviewers, reports the Mirror.

“I would leave a room feeling defeated, feeling embarrassed, but I would always make sure to put that smile on my face because I wasn’t going to let them get to me.”

The report adds that “Selena proved just how much she’s tired of hearing about Justin while she performed on her tour,” noting that Selena crumpled up a fan-made sign asking her to “Please marry Justin.”

It sounds like Selena might finally be ready to move on from Justin — Gomez thinks that being on tour and being away from Justin Bieber has been “therapeutic” for her, reports Hollywood Life.

The brunette star still had feelings for Justin Bieber for a long time after they broke up — an insider revealed that Selena could never resist texting him when she was “bored”and that she felt the need to “keep tabs” on him, even after they split!

“Selena is busy and enjoying being on tour, she loves not having to miss Justin, she loves not having to be bored and text Justin to pass the time. She loves that she doesn’t have to keep tabs on him because she would always watch out for what he was doing while she was not working.”

Selena Gomez needed to get away from Justin and keep busy on tour in order to finally heal from the trauma of their volatile affair, according to the report.

“She loves being busy and enjoying tour life and just being completely out of Justin’s radar. It has been a pretty nice and therapeutic.”
