Selena Gomez says breaking apart with Justin Bieber was the “best thing” that ever occurred to her.
The 30-year-old singer, who break up from Justin, 28, in 2018, makes the declaration on her new Apple + documentary My Mind and Me.
She mentioned: “Everything was so public. I felt haunted by a past relationship that no one wanted to let go of.
“Then I just moved past it, and I wasn’t afraid anymore.
“I feel like I had to go through the worst possible heartbreak ever and then just forgetting everything at the drop of the hand, it was really confusing.
“But I just think that needed to happen and ultimately it was the best thing that ever happened to me.”
Selena dated Justin on-off for eight years and the break up impressed her 2020 songs Lose You to Love Me, which she says took her 45 minutes to put in writing.
She added on the present: “It’s about more than a lost love. It’s me learning to choose myself, to choose life, but also hoping that people can find grace and peace in that too.
“The song is about knowing that you completely lost every part of who you are just to rediscover yourself again.”
Justin began courting his now-wife Hailey Baldwin, 25, simply after they break up and the month after Justin married Hailey, Selena reportedly suffered a breakdown linked to her lupus and entered therapy for her psychological well being.
Selena not too long ago informed Rolling Stone journal: “I grew up thinking I would be married at 25. It wrecked me that I was nowhere near that – couldn’t be farther from it.”
She not too long ago threw herself a lavish wedding-themed thirtieth birthday and mentioned concerning the do being attended by celebrities together with Cara Delevingne: “We had lovely drinks, and it was beautiful, and then my friend Cara comes in and brings strippers. So I would like to say it was a mixture of sophisticated and hysterical.”
Other visitors on the social gathering included Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Camila Cabello and Selena’s youthful sister, Gracie.
