It's often awkward when an ex gets married, but spare a thought for celebs who have to go through it in the public eye.
Justin Bieber made a 'cryptic' post in the hours after his ex Selena Gomez married her love, Benny Blanco, and fans are arguing over his response.
Justin and Selena were a couple on-and-off from 2010 from the ages of just 16 and 18, with many fans convinced the pair would get married.
Sadly, it wasn't to be and they split for good in March 2018

Bieber, of course, is now married to Hailey who he shares a son with, tying the knot just six months after his final split from Gomez.
Meanwhile, Selena has just married producer Benny Blanco over the weekend in Santa Barbara.
Fans naturally rushed to see if Bieber would post anything acknowledging his ex's nuptials (admit it, we're all nosey!)
They were bemused to find a strange post with a carousel of photos of Justin playing basketball at The League court in LA.
However, it was the choice of song he used to soundtrack the post which has got people talking, as the singer selected his own song, 'I Do', a romantic ballad he wrote about his marriage to Hailey.
Some trolls were quick to comment, goading the star: "You lost her, get over her!"
"The love of your life just got married," added another, cruelly.
Others replied with GIFs of Selena in the comments.
"Benny: I do. Justin: I do too!" joked one, while someone else replied: "Song choice is wild."
"A song about your wedding in a basketball photo, one wants to help but this man doesn’t cooperate," insisted a fan.
Some argued: "WTF, he also has a wife, right?"
"This makes no sense, it was a childhood love, can we move on because they clearly did!" defended another.
"Don't think JB cares at all, he's married to super hottie Hailey Rhode Bieber!" said one.
"He's married with a baby, he's been over it, teeny boppers need to get over it" replied another.
"Cryptic or just his own post and he didn’t lose anyone he has a wife and a kid and his happy lmao. Like people are freaks who need to move on the parasocial relationships are ruining lives" attacked one fan.
Selena Gomez, meanwhile, shared a series of stunning pictures from her wedding where long-time friend Taylor Swift is believed to have attended, as well as Only Murders in the Building co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin.
Both Selena and Benny wore Ralph Lauren, and fans congratulated the star on her happiness.
In her in her Apple TV+ documentary My Mind & Me, Selena opened up about her relationship with Justin ending, confessing: "I felt haunted by a past relationship that no one wanted to let go of. But then I just moved past it. I wasn’t afraid anymore."
Congrats to Selena and Benny!
