In 2010, Bieber and Gomez first sparked dating rumors when they were spotted hanging out together. Bieber told MTV that he hoped to keep his private life private, explaining: "I think that people are always gonna be interested in my personal life... but I gotta keep some things to myself. I'm just having fun being a teenager."

Paparazzi pics showed the two kissing on a yacht in St. Lucia in January 2011, but Bieber and Gomez finally made things "red carpet official" the next month at the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscars party. Fans were over-the-moon excited about Jelena's public appearance together.

In 2011, Gomez talked openly about dating Bieber, telling Seventeen magazine at the time: “I don't like hiding. I do like to keep certain things to myself, but at the end of the day, I'm eighteen, and I'm going to fall in love. I'm going to hang out with people, and I'm going to explore myself, and I'm okay with that.”

Uh-oh, Jelena was rumored to be on the rocks by November 2011 when buzz swirled that Gomez dumped him amid a baby daddy scandal, but it turned out the reports weren’t true.

Throughout 2012, it seemed Jelena engagement rumors swirled a few times, with Bieber commenting to Le Parisien: "No, I'm too young. One day, I will get engaged, when I have found the right person in five or 10 years. It doesn't mean Selena is not the right person though! She's going to kill me if I say that!"

Gomez and Bieber were all smiles while seated in the audience at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards in July. Gomez turned 20 the day before this event, when Bieber gave a shoutout on Twitter, writing: "happy birthday @selenagomez!!! everyone show love!!" Gomez shared her birthday blessings on social media, writing: "beyond blessed, so much love. Thank you for the most incredible birthday yet! I'm truly, truly grateful. I love my family, friends and all of you."

While the initial breakup rumor didn’t hold any water, Bieber and Gomez did split in November 2012, with their busy schedules believed to be to part of the reason, as well as trust issues. An insider told Us magazine: "Selena definitely had some major trust issues with Justin."

In April 2013, fans saw Bieber and Gomez back together, courtesy of a pic he posted on Instagram of them cuddled up, with him shirtless... which he later deleted. It definitely got fans talking and hopeful that they were back together, but Bieber spilled in an interview at the end of 2013 that they weren't speaking, telling Big Boy's Neighborhood, that Gomez is “a great woman. I love her till this day." He added, "I think we're going to be the greatest of friends. Right now we're taking a little time and not talking."

Bieber got everyone’s hopes up again when he posted a loved up pic on Instagram of Gomez hugging his head, captioning it, "Our love is unconditional." Then he deleted it. Wait... what? Were they back together, simply hanging out... what was happening?

Reports swirled in July 2014 that Orlando Bloom and Bieber allegedly got into a fist fight, presumably about Gomez. Bloom and Gomez were spotted together in April 2014 and Bieber had gotten chummy with Bloom's ex-wife, Miranda Kerr, at a 2012 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Gomez performed "The Heart Wants What It Wants" in November 2014 at the American Music Awards, which she said was about Bieber. She later told Elle magazine in 2015: "Everybody was talking about the same thing: my relationship... I said, 'I want this performance to be the last time I have to talk about this. And acknowledge this feeling.'" They eventually confirmed that they split once again.

While the couple were broken up, Gomez said in a September 2015 Elle interview that she will always support Bieber, explaining: "We grew up together. I think people want it to be different. We're too young for that. Nobody was married. There was no... I respect him. And I think he respects me, in a healthy manner." During a November 2015 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Bieber confirmed that Gomez was the inspiration for many songs on his new album, Purpose.

After their split, each was linked to other people, with Bieber and Hailey Baldwin appearing to be a couple after he posted pics of their getaway to St. Barth's and told GQ in 2016 that Baldwin is “someone I really love. We spend a lot of time together.” Later in 2016, Bieber and Sofia Richie appear to be in a relationship after he posts pics of them together on Instagram, which gets backlash from fans and leaves Bieber threatening to make his account private "if you guys don't stop the hate." Gomez and DJ Zedd were linked (briefly) at one point and Gomez and The Weeknd started a relationship in January 2017.

Those feel-good Jelena vibes were back in full force when Bieber and Gomez were spotted together again in October 2017 at her California home. Rumors swirled as fans wondered if the two were just friends or something more.

With The Weeknd out of the picture, any photos of Gomez and Bieber spending time together made Jelena fans’ hearts soar, as it looked like they were in love all over again. Sigh.

Gomez and Bieber spent time together on the romantic holiday in 2018, enjoying a dinner date after attending church service.

Bieber and Gomez spent more time together, seen leaving another church service in Beverly Hills in March 2018, though they reportedly left in separate cars.

Fans have seen Jelena ride the highs and lows of their relationship before, but did they break up for good in early 2018? A source told E! News: "Selena realized even though he’s made some positive improvements, they just aren’t a perfect match right now."

Jelena fans were slightly hopeful when a source told People that Bieber wanted to reconcile with Gomez, that he "misses" her and "He loves her. He wants her back."
