Justin Bieber hopes that ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez is 'happy' following news of her engagement to Benny Blanco, according to sources who say that the singer was left 'stung' by the announcement. The former flames famously dated on and off from 2010 to 2018, before the Canadian singer, 30, eventually moved on with his now-wife Hailey Baldwin.
