Selena Gomez And Justin Bieber Are Getting Back Together After Rehab? Sofia Richie Is Out Of The Picture
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are known to reconcile from time to time and according to a new report, they may be planning to get back together in the coming weeks.
Although Selena Gomez is currently in rehab, that reportedly hasn’t stopped the 24-year-old singer from contemplating a reunion with Bieber.
On October 26, Headlines & Global News revealed Selena Gomez’s ex-boyfriend is now single and was likely ready to get back together with Selena Gomez once she completes rehab. The outlet also revealed that Richie and her romance with Bieber may have been partially to blame for Gomez’s decision to enter treatment in the first place.

While there have been swirling rumors blaming Bieber and Richie for Selena Gomez’s decision to seek treatment, she claimed in August that she was entering rehab to address mental health issues, which she claimed stemmed from her Lupus diagnosis.
“As many of you know, around a year ago I revealed that I have lupus, an illness that can affect people in different ways,” Selena Gomez explained to fans in a statement to People Magazine. “I’ve discovered that anxiety, panic attacks and depression can be side effects of lupus, which can present their own challenges.”
“I want to be proactive and focus on maintaining my health and happiness and have decided that the best way forward is to take some time off,” she continued. “Thank you to all my fans for your support. You know how special you are to me, but I need to face this head on to ensure I am doing everything possible to be my best. I know I am not alone by sharing this, I hope others will be encouraged to address their own issues.”
Despite Selena Gomez’s statement to fans about her illness being the cause of her depression, many have felt that Bieber and Richie’s relationship took a major toll on Gomez.
In early August, weeks before Selena Gomez announced her Revival World Tour had been cancelled, she and Bieber were involved in an Instagram fight after Bieber shared a photo of himself and Richie together in Japan and slammed his fans for being mean to Richie. Bieber also upset Selena Gomez by suggesting that his fans weren’t true fans.
In response to Bieber’s photo and message to fans, Selena Gomez told her ex-boyfriend to stop sharing photos of his girlfriend and reminded him that his fans have been there for him since the start of his career. At that point, Bieber accused Selena Gomez of using him for attention and she responded by reminding him that she forgave him after he cheated on her multiple times.

At the time that Bieber and Richie parted ways, a source claimed their relationship was never exclusive, to begin with.
“They were never officially together, but more casual hanging out and having fun,” a source told E! News last month. “It was super-hot and heavy, and because Justin doesn’t want a relationship right now, he wanted to cool things down. [It] wasn’t an intentional cool-off, [and] just sort of happened on its own.”
“They are still friends though and will continue to see each other like they did before they were dating,” a second insider shared. “They are taking a backseat though on the romance side of things and just focusing on being friends at this time.”
Selena Gomez has not yet revealed when she will return home from rehab.
