Social media users have interpreted a selfie posted by Justin Bieber as a response to the news of his former girlfriend’s engagement.
The “Peaches” singer and Selena Gomez dated in their teens. Now in their 30s, Bieber is married to model Hailey Bieber, and Gomez recently became engaged to music producer Benny Blanco.
On Tuesday, Bieber posted a selfie on Instagram of his wife kissing him, and his song choice raised a few eyebrows.

Lizzy McAlpine’s “All My Ghosts,” a song about trying to move on from a former lover, accompanied the post. Instagram users said in the comments section that Bieber was trying to send Gomez a message with the song choice.
Newsweek contacted Bieber’s representatives for comment by email outside normal business hours.
“But why that song,” one user wrote, while another added, “We know why you posted this.”
“Guys listen to that song well and you will know Justin is trying to give sel a message,” a user commented.
“He’s like dam I got married had a kid but her engagement hurt like a stab in the heart. That’s crazy it’s all in his eyes,” another said.
