Justin Bieber And Selena Gomez Broke Up, for Real This Time

This isn’t a joke. This is real. This isn’t something about Justin being a bad boyfriend or Selena just sticking with Justin for the publicity. This isn’t even a rumor. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez broke up. Forever. And nothing can make that all right. Nothing will ever be all right again.

From E! Online:

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have gone their separate ways.

They broke up about a week ago, a source exclusively tells E! News.

“Because of their crazy schedules, it was getting harder and harder to maintain a relationship,” the source says.

Rumors that the adorable twosome had split started gaining traction in the last couple of weeks, but hit a high note just last night [Thursday] when Bieber, 18, was spotted seeing The Lion King on Broadway with a group of people that included 19-year-old Victoria’s Secret model Barbara Palvin.

And here’s what People had to add:

“She broke up with him about a week ago,” a source tells PEOPLE. “With them being apart so much it got complicated. She had some trust issues. It’s not easy, but the relationship needed to end.”

FROM PANCAKES TO HEARTACHE!

But you know, if we can just take a step back from this, back from the ruins of this great love, we can probably admit that this is for the best. It’s been clear for a long, long time that Selena is way too good for Justin, and besides, Justin needs some time to sow his tiny little wild oats. It’s going to be ok, you know? Maybe this time, Justin can actually impregnate some crazy fan. It really is for the best.
