Long before he married wife Hailey Bieber, Selena, 32, was Justin’s first official showbiz girlfriend.
The two sparked dating rumors in 2010 when they were still just teenagers, but it wasn’t until the following year that they confirmed their romantic relationship.
Their young love, however, was anything but perfect as it was often plagued by rumors of Justin’s infidelity.
The pair officially split in 2014 but had an on-and-off relationship until 2018.
Justin has since revealed that the songs What Do You Mean?, Sorry and Mark My Words from his 2016 Purpose album were about Selena.
Now Only Murders In The Building star Selena – who is riding high in her career – appears to have taken a swipe right back at her ex.
NEW MUSIC
As she gets ready to release her new music with fiance Benny Blanco, Selena teased fans with the track list for her forthcoming album.
She wrote: “Leaking some more details… 🖤
benny & I are so excited to reveal the official tracklist for our album “I Said I Love You First,” out March 21st.”
However, in a clear swipe at Justin, one of the tracks was called You Said You Were Sorry.

BITTER BREAK-UP
Towards the end of Selena’s relationship with popstar Justin, it was widely reported he started bouncing between her and model Hailey Baldwin, niece of actor Alec Baldwin.
Justin went on to marry Hailey in 2018 and the couple welcomed their first child last year.
Hailey denied there was a crossover between her and Selena, and said “I can say, period, point blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody. That’s the end of it.”

She told Vanity Fair: “I’ve never been loved this way.
“He’s just been a light. A complete light in my life. He’s my best friend. I love telling him everything.”
