They ended things for good in May 2018 and Justin moved on with his now-wife, Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin), that June.This isnt the greatest i know so i hope no one minds me turning the comments off for my head but this was the best, most sincere moments with lose you to love me ♬ original sound – Selena Gomez “The song was inspired by Selena’s breakup from Justin, but it would be incorrect to say it’s totally about Justin,” a
