Justin Bieber’s latest Instagram post has sent fans into a speculative frenzy, just days after his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez announced her engagement. The singer shared a photo with his wife, Hailey Bieber, but it was his choice of song, Lizzy McAlpine’s “All My Ghosts,” that ignited theories of a hidden message aimed at Gomez and her new fiancé, Benny Blanco.
A Cryptic Song Choice Sparks Fan Theories
The controversy centers on a seemingly innocent selfie of Justin and Hailey Bieber in Costa Rica. However, the accompanying music has led many to believe there’s more to the post than meets the eye. Bieber attached the song “All My Ghosts” by Lizzy McAlpine, a track known for its emotional lyrics about past loves.
The timing of the post, coming so soon after Selena Gomez shared her engagement news, was seen as too significant to be a coincidence by many followers. Social media platforms, especially Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), were flooded with comments and threads dissecting the possible meaning.
One fan commented, “Why did Justin Bieber post a pic of him and Hailey with All My Ghosts right after Selena’s engagement? You can’t make this up.” This sentiment was echoed by thousands, quickly turning the post into a viral topic.
Why ‘All My Ghosts’ Has Jelena Fans Buzzing
The specific lyrics of “All My Ghosts” are what truly fueled the speculation. The song touches on themes of seeing a former partner move on and the lingering presence of past relationships.
Fans pointed to several lines as potential evidence that Bieber was reflecting on Gomez’s engagement. The most talked-about lyrics include:
- “I can see it now, the wedding of the year”
- “I can see it now, he stands up there and wipes his tears”
- “Oh, all my ghosts are with me / I know you feel them too”
To the dedicated “Jelena” fanbase, these words felt like a direct commentary on Gomez starting a new chapter of her life. The song’s narrative of watching an ex get married struck a powerful chord, leading to endless debate about Bieber’s intentions.
A History of Musical Messages
This is not the first time fans have connected Justin Bieber’s music to his long and public relationship with Selena Gomez, which lasted on and off from 2010 to 2018. His 2021 hit single, “Ghost,” was also widely interpreted as a song about the loss of their relationship.
While Bieber explained that “Ghost” was about loss in a general sense, fans couldn’t help but draw parallels. Similarly, Gomez has been open about her past through her music. Her chart-topping song “Lose You to Love Me” is widely considered a reflection on her journey of healing after their final breakup.
Selena Gomez’s Happy News and a Surprising Show of Support
Putting all the speculation aside, Selena Gomez is clearly focused on her future. She announced her engagement to music producer Benny Blanco last week with a joyful Instagram post showcasing her diamond ring, captioned, “forever begins now.”
The couple, who have been together for over a year, have received an outpouring of support from fans and friends. In a move that many found heartwarming, Hailey Bieber liked Gomez’s engagement announcement post. This act was seen as another confirmation that there is no ill will between the two women, despite years of fan-fueled drama.

Despite both Bieber and Gomez moving on and finding happiness in their respective relationships, the public’s fascination with their shared history persists. Bieber has been married to Hailey since 2018, and both women have publicly stated their mutual respect.
Still, every social media post is scrutinized for hidden meanings, and the timing of this latest post has ensured the conversation will continue. Whether Bieber’s song choice was intentional or just a coincidence, it proves that for many fans, the story of “Jelena” is far from over.
