Relationship history

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez timeline

Because the relationship was on and off, ENTANGLED presents the major publicly documented periods rather than pretending every private reconciliation date is known exactly.

2009–2010

They meet and become friends

Gomez and Bieber met before they were publicly documented as a couple. Early appearances and speculation are background context, not counted as a confirmed romantic period.

February 2011

Public appearance as a couple

They attended the Vanity Fair Oscars party together, widely treated as their public couple debut.

November 2012

First major public breakup

The couple separated after their first widely documented relationship period.

2013–2015

On-and-off reunions

They were seen together and publicly linked multiple times. Reporting from this period describes an intermittent relationship rather than one uninterrupted span.

Late 2017

Final public reunion

Gomez and Bieber reunited publicly in late 2017 after Gomez’s relationship with The Weeknd ended.

2018

Relationship ends

The final reunion ended in 2018. Subsequent reporting and both people’s later marriages confirm that this relationship is historical, not current.
