Who hasn’t suffered from a break up, right? The truth is, anyone who says they haven’t is probably lying. As painful as it is to admit, sometimes the effects of ending a truly meaningful relationship can last longer than we expect. And it seems the internet is convinced that’s exactly what’s happening to Justin Bieber.
Recently, the singer became the center of attention after photos of him surfaced, sparking concern among his followers due to his visibly deteriorating appearance. It didn’t take long for various theories to pop up, trying to figure out what’s going on with him.

Let’s face it: everyone reacts to a breakup differently. But lately, more and more people are starting to believe that, as crazy as it sounds, this could all somehow be connected to Selena Gomez.
What’s going on with Justin Bieber?
It’s no secret that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez had one of the most talked-about relationships in recent years. Although their breakup happened in 2018 and both of them moved on in different directions, thousands of people think maybe their story hasn’t fully ended — at least, not for one of them.
According to some, Justin’s physical decline might have something to do with the fact that men take much longer to recover from a breakup than women do.
This might sound a bit far-fetched, but several studies have shown that while women feel more intense pain at first, they tend to heal faster than men, who recover much, much slower.
You might think we’re reaching, but a study from Binghamton University and University College London found that while women experience greater emotional and physical pain after a breakup, men often process their feelings much more slowly, often avoiding confronting the pain right after the split.
And Justin Bieber might just be the perfect example of this theory. Even though years have passed since his breakup with Selena, hearing about Selena’s engagement to Benny Blanco could have triggered a negative reaction in him.
This theory gains more weight when you consider that sources close to Justin revealed that when he found out about Selena’s engagement, “it hurt for a moment.” That feeling could be due to him realizing that a significant chapter of his life has truly come to an end.
