Selena Gomez and music producer Benny Blanco have reportedly ended their relationship, and some speculate that the shadow of Gomez’s past with Justin Bieber may have played a role.

While the former couple enjoyed a brief but creative partnership, insiders suggest that the emotional weight of Gomez’s history with Bieber continued to loom over her personal life.

Despite moving on in many ways, it seems that Gomez’s connection to her past has made it challenging to fully embrace new relationships.

Fans are now left wondering if Gomez will use this emotional chapter to fuel her next musical evolution.
