Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were mot exactly the pinnacle of healthy relationships, but they did date each other on and off for eight years. Between 2010 and 2018, they were involved and even lived together for a few years. Bieber once described their relationship as "marriage."
"I moved in with my girlfriend when I was 18. Started my own life with her. It was a marriage kind of thing. Living with a girl, it was just too much at that age," the "Peaches" singer told Complex, adding they were bad for one another. "When stuff would happen, I would lose my freakin' mind, and she would lose her mind, and we would fight so hard because we were so invested in each other." Gomez, for her part, said she experienced some kind of "abuse" when she was with Bieber. "It's dangerous to stay in a victim mentality," she shared with NPR in 2020. "And I'm not being disrespectful, I do feel I was a victim to certain abuse."
Whenever the two decided to split, they tried dating other people. Gomez had reported flings with Zedd and singer Niall Horan and publicly dated The Weeknd for almost a year in 2017. Meanwhile, Bieber dated his now-wife Hailey Baldwin in 2015 and 2016, and was linked to Sofia Richie, Nicola Peltz, and Chantel Jeffries. In 2018, Gomez and Bieber parted ways for good, and coincidentally, it was the same year Bieber married Baldwin.
