Although their on-again-off-again relationship was the subject of tabloid gossip, with every breakup and makeup scrutinized by fans and media, their chapter seems to have closed for good. However, the internet has a long memory, and fans still hold out hope, their anticipation and emotional investment in a Selena and Justin reunion palpable, that their story will have a similar ending to that of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.

While it is unknown if Selena knew the pregnancy news at the time of her Instagram post, she found herself thrust back into the spotlight when she shared a photo of what appears to be her hand holding Benny Blanco’s hand. The image circulated rapidly, spawning a plethora of comments on X, formerly known as Twitter.
