Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez split!
LOS ANGELES, California -- Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are no longer fondue-slinging
boyfriend and girlfriend, reported Natalie Finn of the Eonline.
Sorry, it's so. (Of course, this also goes to show
that you should never stop Beliebin'. Maybe the Canadian pop superstar can now
be yours one day.)
The cute-as-a-button couple broke up about a week ago
after close to two years of dating and we obviously can't help but wonder why.
(Besides always having to be apart for work, the toughness of a long-distance
relationship, being super young, etc.)
Here's a look back, from when Justin and Selena first
made the scene to when they went their separate ways:
Justin lends a hand to Hurricane Sandy relief
Jan. 27, 2011: Too cute! Justin and Selena see no No
Strings Attached—making people wonder if Selena had to buy the tickets to the
rated-R flick because Justin's only 16.
Feb. 8, 2011: "She's one of my best
friends," he tells E! News about Gomez at the red-carpet premiere of Never
Say Never.
Feb. 27, 2011: After being the subject of much
more-than-friends speculation, Justin and Selena go public as a couple at
Vanity Fair's annual Oscar party. (Irony alert: They're stuck like glue, while
Justin Timberlake and Jessia Biel are noted for their meh body language.)
Ke$ha denies sleeping with Justin Bieber
May 23, 2011: A
day after sharing a kiss on live TV during the Billboard Music Awards, the
couple jet off to an undisclosed location for a romantic vacay.
June 2011: Selena meets the Biebers! The duo spend
time in Toronto with Justin's mom, dad and siblings.
June 5, 2011: They attend the MTV Movie Awards, before
which Selena tells us that she's "really happy" with life, including
the part where she's dating Justin Bieber. She admits, however, that the
constant media scrutiny, er, coverage is "horrible."
June 10, 2011: Bieber gives up his Stanley Cup finals
seats in Vancouver after learning Gomez has been hospitalized with headaches
and nausea, proving he's got priorities and they're in order.
June 28, 2011: It's kinda weird that we know this, but
Justin and Selena exchanged I-love-yous while shopping at an A|X Armani
Exchange in New York.
August 2011: The couple keep going strong in the face
of a virulent breakup rumor that caught fire when some guy made a YouTube video
ranting about Selena supposedly catching Justin texting his ex, Jasmine
Villegas. Then Justin tweeted, "what makes you so beautiful is that you
dont know how beautiful you are…to me," further fueling the story that he
was trying to make up for something. (Though, in hindsight, he may have been
writing a One Direction song.)
Five celeb men talk about their soft sides

"Justin" scrawled on her right wrist—but it's not permanent.

Nov. 16, 2011: Still a little shaken after a

Selena finds herself in the right chair—the one across from Ellen DeGeneres.
"Yeah, it's good to just kind of…be good," Gomez acknowledges.
Justin Bieber's laptop mystery: Anatomy of a hoax
Dec. 7, 2011: Justin's rep shoots down engagement
rumors after Selena is spotted wearing what appears to be a diamond ring on

May: Bieber is rumored to have broken up with Gomez
via Twitter after writing-then-deleting, "Thank you for the time I had
with you but now I have to move on." Aside from the fact that it would
have been really poor form, the story was just untrue. An insider noted that
the pair hadn't been photographed together for some time because Gomez had been
in Bulgaria shooting a movie. Long distance, you know?

another split rumor, this one triggered perhaps because it was a Thursday. Six
days later, they're in Tokyo together. Eight days after that, New Zealand!

"adores" Justin's fans and respects their fierce loyalty.
Selena gets a neck tattoo
Nov. 8: Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin, 19,
feels the Beliebers' wrath on Twitter after watching The Lion King on Broadway
with Justin. "hey everyone. please calm down. he is all yours!! :) please
:)" she tweeted back. Fans of Palvin (and reality) chimed in, too,
insisting that the model has a boyfriend and can't be dating the singer.
Nov. 9: E! News exclusively confirms that Justin and
Selena have gone their separate ways, with a source telling us it just got too
hard for them to maintain a relationshp in light of their equally crazy
schedules.
