Selena Gomez gets candid about her approach in relationships then vs. now
Selena Gomez had a lot to say about her approach in relationships then vs. now with claims about her Justin Bieber diss track surfacing online. Gomez confessed to being “guilty” of previously wanting to win an argument with a romantic partner as she, Benny Blanco, and Jay Shetty discussed how such arguments can turn emotional and overdrawn and what was “mature.” “I’ve been guilty of it though,” she admitted while Blanco narrated a conflict resolution scenario.
The Disney alum added, “I think for me, I necessarily felt like in other situations of mine I was very reactive.” She reasoned, “I think that’s why I was alone for five years because I really needed to collect myself.” Furthermore, Gomez explained how she took her time to become mentally and emotionally mature to be with Blanco. “That’s why I said to him all the time — ten years ago, it’s not that I wouldn’t have wanted to be with you, I just wouldn’t have been in the right headspace,” she noted, claiming her fiancé didn’t “deserve” what she endured in the past.
Making listeners privy to how she currently works around her relationship, Gomez maintained she learned “lessons” from her past “mistakes.” She stated that Blanco made it “unbelievably easy,” claiming she feels heard in their relationship. The actor-singer noted that her fiancé acknowledged her emotions, which helped her shift “where my mind used to go, which was a little bit of anger.” Shetty promptly added that the “validation of how you felt in those reactive moments” allowed her “not to be reactive.” To this, she responded with an affirmative.
Selena Gomez’s recent comments came as her past relationship with Justin Bieber remains under constant scrutiny, especially with the diss track buzz. X users promptly reacted to the track, with one person writing the song’s title before adding, “Because she forgot about him, but she knows he hasn’t forgotten her.” Another person wrote how it “might be the best diss track ever,” claiming they wouldn’t “like to be this person.” Several others quickly noticed the “shady” lyrics, while many praised her track.
