Selena Gomez fans think Justin Bieber reacted to engagement news with ‘secret message’

Selena Gomez fans are convinced Justin Bieber has reacted to her and Benny Blanco's engagement news with a 'secret message'.

Last week (12 December), Gomez, 32, announced her engagement to 36-year-old Blanco posting a carousel of pictures that included one of the pretty huge engagement ring and another of her and Blanco embracing as she flashed her new jewellery to the camera.

"Forever begins now..." she captioned the post, while her fiancé commented: Hey wait… that’s my wife."

Since then, there's been much chat online about Gomez's ex-boyfriend, Bieber, who is happily married to Hailey Bieber and has a newborn son, and his suspected reactions to the engagement news.

And the latest update in the saga is all to do with the 30-year-old 'Baby' singer's latest Instagram post.

Yesterday (16 December), he posted a series of pics of him and his wife, 28, enjoying a night out at a beautifully picturesque Costa Rican wedding.

The couple, who welcomed their first child together, Jack, just four months ago, beamed in selfies as they celebrated their close friends Joseph Perez and Jessica Lageyre's special day.

But it wasn't the snaps that fans were suspicious over - it was the tune he used to soundtrack it.

The song Bieber added to the cutesy photo dump was Lizzy McAlpine’s 'All My Ghosts' - a pretty heart-wrenching track about happy memories with an ex-partner that the singer seems to still be hung up on.

As per Page Six, the lyrics of the song go: "I can see it now, the wedding of the year / I can see it now, he stands up there and wipes his tears.

"I can see it now, when all my ghosts disappear / I can see it crystal clear."

Other lyrics include: "Oh, all my ghosts are with me / I know you feel them too."

Unsurprisingly, it didn't take long for fans of the former couple - who split up over a decade back in 2012 - to rush to social media sharing their speculations that Bieber was in some way trying to send a message to Gomez.

One X user penned: "Guys listen to that song well and you will know Justin is trying to give Sel a message."

"Of course he was gonna post something now," hit out a second, while a third piped up on Twitter: "Y’all pls why did Justin Bieber post a pic of him and his wife with all my ghosts by Lizzy McAlpine a few days after Selena got engaged, you can’t make this up."

A fourth echoed: "But why that song."

However, some are not here for the speculation, as one person had previously called it 'weird', adding: "He posts his photos whenever he wants."

Another asked others to 'stop relating them to each other' as they 'both have their own happy lives now'.
