While several stars joined in to share the happiness, there was only one A-lister that some fans could think about Selena Gomez.

The Wizards of Waverly Place alum, who dated the Justice album creator on and off for about eight years, from 2010 until 2018, posted a black-and-white Instagram story soon after the pregnancy announcement.

The Lose You to Love Me singer reportedly had her hands entwined with that of her music producer boyfriend, Benny Blanco. A ring was also flaunted in the very same picture.

“Not Selena posting this an hour after Justin and his wife’s announcement,” one fan said.

“I thought that Selena Gomez was posting this literally within an hour of Justin and Hayley revealing that they’re pregnant is disgusting. Why can’t you just let them have their moment,” another fan said. “Stop taking this moment away from them because you want to be spiteful…”

“Justin & Hailey Bieber announced their [sic]pregnant!? Somebody go check on Selena, she in her bedroom now on the cusp of an immediate nervous breakdown,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Justin and Hailey pregnant….somebody checks on Selena.”

Other netizens pointed out how the internet was unnecessarily making it about the Only Murders in the Building actress when the limelight should be on Justin and Hailey, who are preparing to welcome a new bundle of joy.

“Justin and Hailey announce their pregnancy and their ‘fans’ immediately thought of Selena Gomez. oh, the power Selena has is incredible,” one said.

“Justin & Hailey having a baby and y’all only making it about Selena,” another added.

One wrote, “i hate how people need to make this news about Selena again like can we keep her out of it and just be happy for Hailey and Justin that they will have a baby? the replies on this post are so disgusting.”

Selena and Justin, who met as teenagers, dated for a few months before making their romance public in 2011. They broke up after about two years together but maintained a hot and cold relationship until their final breakup in 2018.

When the young singers were dating at the time, Hailey appeared to be rooting for them and threw her support behind them.

“I don’t care what anyone says but Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez together is the definition of a teenage dream! #word,” the model wrote in a 2011 on Twitter.

The Baby singer and Hailey, the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, also dated on and off for a while, and they officially became Mr. and Mrs. Bieber in 2018.

When they found out they were having a baby together, it was “just the best day for them,” a source told People.

“Everyone is excited for them,” the source added. “They will be great parents, and Justin will be super involved. This will be the next important project for him. He’s so excited to raise his baby. They have a name that they think is perfect. They’re also starting to decorate a nursery. They can’t wait to meet the baby.”

Sources told TMZ that Hailey is about six months pregnant and may welcome a baby Bieber in late summer of this year.

The couple reportedly decided to keep the pregnancy news, which came days after Justin’s tearful selfie, away from the public eye to enjoy the special moment together before making the big announcement to the world.

“They have both been very emotional about it. They feel so blessed,” the source told People. “They’ve also felt very protective of the baby from the moment they found out. They shared with family and close friends early on. It was very important for them to keep it quiet and just enjoy [it] for as long as possible before they publicly confirmed.”
