Justin Bieber hopes that ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez is ‘happy’ following news of her engagement to Benny Blanco, according to sources who say that the singer was left ‘stung’ by the announcement.

The former flames famously dated on and off from 2010 to 2018, before the Canadian singer, 30, eventually moved on with his now-wife Hailey Baldwin.  Last week, it was revealed that music producer, Benny, 36, proposed to Selena, 32, as she posted shots of her gorgeous marquise cut diamond ring.

Now insiders have revealed to DailyMail.com that even though Justin is happily focused on his life with Hailey and their baby son, Jack, the star acknowledged that Selena’s engagement officially marked the ‘end of an era’.

‘Justin is married and has a kid, we all know that but when he heard that Selena was engaged, he’ll even admit, it stung for a brief second,’ the source explained. ‘Because even though they will never be friends or date again or anything like that, it is officially the end of an era.’

Sparks first flew when Justin serenaded Selena with his song One Less Lonely Girl during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in 2009.
