Jelena: A Brief History

2009

Justin Bieber’s subtle yet undeniable flirtation with Selena Gomez was the start of something special. His tweet, sent on December 16, 2009, left no doubt about his interest in the Disney darling. The flirty message read: ‘@selenagomez good seeing u. Until next time. Maybe new years 😉’ – a classic move that hinted at a budding romance.

January

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber’s early days of romance defied the norm. Unlike your average teenagers, their first few dates didn’t involve the usual fast-food joint or parking lot rendezvous. Instead, they opted for a more exotic backdrop – think tropical getaways like the Caribbean – where the sun-kissed scenery only added to the allure of their blossoming relationship. Take, for instance, that fateful moment in St.

Lucia when cameras captured the couple getting cozy on a private yacht, sending shockwaves through gossip circles and cementing their status as one of Tinseltown’s most intriguing power couples.

February

As news of their high-profile relationship spread like wildfire, it’s no wonder that these two young superstars chose a platform as iconic as the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party to make their romance officially public. The fact that they’re both household names only added fuel to the fire, making it all but impossible to keep their love life under wraps.

May

The Jelena duo continued to defy expectations by embracing their romance in a most unconventional setting – a picturesque beach in Maui, Hawaii. As they shared a tender moment with the warm sun and calm waves as their backdrop, it was clear that their relationship was not only going strong but also refusing to be confined to the ordinary.

September

The notion that celebrity doesn’t wield significant influence is a myth best left unspoken. Case in point: when Justin Bieber wanted to watch Titanic with Selena Gomez, he went all out and rented the entire L. A. Staples Center for a private screening – no small feat! While it remains unclear whether he attempted to recreate the iconic ‘I’m flying, Jack!’ moment from the film, his actions speak volumes about the enduring power of celebrity.

To all the gentlemen out there looking to keep romance alive, take note: treating your lady right is key. A lesson learned from none other than Justin Bieber himself, as evident in his September 24, 2011 tweet: ‘Romance isn’t dead. Treat your lady right, fellas! #REAL’ – Justin Bieber (@justinbieber)
