Justin Bieber’s fanbase is abuzz with speculation that his mother, Pattie Mallette, may have sent a ‘message’ to Selena Gomez following her marriage to Benny Blanco.
The couple exchanged vows in an elegant black-tie event at a private estate near Santa Barbara, California, on Saturday, September 27.
Benny Blanco took to Instagram to announce the nuptials, sharing a series of wedding photos with the caption: “I married a real life Disney princess.”
For the occasion, Blanco wore a tuxedo, adding a pop of color with a blue-tinted shirt and a matching pocket square. Gomez stunned in a high-neck white gown with intricate ruffled detailing.
Although many are captivated by the wedding photos, some online observers have noted a possible cryptic message from Bieber’s mother, Pattie Mallette, on Instagram.
Bieber and Gomez had an on-again, off-again relationship from 2010 to 2018, and some believe Pattie’s recent Instagram post may be directed at Gomez.
In her post, which features several photos of Bieber, including one where he’s wearing a “pray for me” t-shirt, Pattie wrote: “We’re cheering you on and praying for you always Justin.
“I declare freedom, strength, clarity, and healing over you Justin. Every chain of fear, confusion, heaviness, and pain—be broken in Jesus’ name.”
She continued: “Holy Spirit, surround him with truth, light, and protection. Heal every wound in his heart, mind and body, seen and unseen, restore what’s been stolen, and cover him in WHOLENESS.
“Fill him to overflowing with Your love and comfort. Continue to raise him up as a voice for Your Kingdom, unshaken and on fire for You Lord. Silence every voice that doesn’t come from You, and let his life be a bold witness of Your power, love, and healing grace. Say amen if you agree.”
Some online users are interpreting this as a reaction to Gomez’s wedding, with one commenting: “His mom knew his feelings to Selena since her wedding is tomorrow.”
Another simply remarked: “Nothing, it’s just a Selena’s wedding.”
Despite the speculation, many are extending their support and well-wishes to Bieber amid concerns regarding his recent social media activity.
A supportive fan commented: “I’m sending you a big hug and I hope that one day people will realize they’re fuelling a spiral of miscommunication and creating fabricated stories.”
