Justin Bieber Faces Backlash Over Instagram Post Amid Selena Gomez’s Wedding to Benny Blanco
Justin Bieber has come under fire from fans after sharing a cryptic Instagram post shortly after his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez married music producer Benny Blanco.
On Saturday, the 31-year-old pop star posted a carousel of photos showing him playing basketball at The League court in Los Angeles. The post was accompanied by his 2025 R&B ballad, “I Do,” a romantic song that celebrates his marriage to wife Hailey Bieber.
While the post appeared innocuous on the surface, its timing drew sharp criticism online, as Gomez’s high-profile wedding was taking place the same day in Santa Barbara, less than 100 miles away.
Fans were quick to interpret the use of “I Do” as a pointed gesture, given the coinciding nuptials of his former partner.
“You lost her, get over her,” one commenter wrote.
“The love of your life just got married,” added another.
Others mocked the choice of song with remarks like, “Benny: I do! Justin: I do too,” and, “Posting a wedding song on basketball pics… this man is crying through captions.”
The post has since gone viral, with many questioning Bieber’s intentions and expressing concern over the seemingly emotional undertone of the post.
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber dated on and off for several years before permanently parting ways in 2018. She confirmed her relationship with Blanco in late 2023.
