Selena and Justin dated on and off from 2010 until 2018.

Selena Gomez made a rare comment about her breakup from Justin Bieber.

The couple split in 2018, during a time when Selena says she was doing a lot of “soul searching” and learning about herself.

“I was, you know, obviously going through a really tough breakup and then I was left with the question of my career and where am I gonna go and what’s gonna happen?” she explained. “It just was all of these different things I was feeling. It was actually really hard.”

Nowadays Selena realizes that she’s a stronger person for having to go through that time. “Being on the other side of it, to be honest, it’s actually been really good for me,” she revealed during a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “It allowed me to develop a character.”
