If Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez Had Kids This Is What They'll Look Like
An artificial intelligence (AI)-focused artist created a family portrait of celebrity ex-couple Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, showing what could have been if they had not broken up.
Australian AI artist and graphic designer Jeremy Pomeroy posted his artwork on Instagram on May 27, 2023, and captioned it: "Beyond breakups! Celebrity what ifs." Bieber and Gomez's family portrait, made from "seamlessly merging advanced algorithms with Photoshop and artistic ability," was shown on the second slide of Pomeroy's carousel post.
In the artist's ideation, the former couple ended up having three children in their AI-imagined family portrait. One of their AI daughters looked like a spitting image of the "Lose You to Love Me" artist, while the other two appeared to have a mix of their features.
Upon seeing the resurfaced post, netizens shared mixed reactions online.
"Oh my god, Selena and Justin with their AI children are so adorable," commented one netizen.
"Now I want another version of Selena and Justin," wrote another.
"Another of the Bieber-Gomez, please," someone else begged the AI artist.
"My soul needs a better portrait of The Biebers. This is unrealistic," commented a different person.
Bieber and Gomez first met in 2009 and were rumored to have started dating in 2011. Since then, they had an on-and-off romance and initially broke up in 2014.
The two then tried continuing their love story in late 2017 only to call it quits for good in early 2018.
"Selena is going in a different direction with her life. She's had a lot of self-reflection time and it's been good for her," a source told E! News at the time.
At present, the two artists are happy with their respective relationships. Justin just announced that his wife Hailey is pregnant with their first child.
The couple started as friends before dating. They tied the knot at a New York City courthouse in September 2018, two months after their engagement.
Meanwhile, the "Only Murders In The Building" actress is happy to be in a relationship with record producer-songwriter Benny Blanco, whom she calls her "bes fwend." The two confirmed their relationship in December 2023.
Just recently, Blanco reportedly hinted at marrying her in his interview on "The Howard Stern Show" on Tuesday.
When Stern said, "I see love here, I'm predicting marriage," he replied, "You and me both."
Aside from Jelena, other "celebrity what if" family portraits featured in Pomeroy's carousel included Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, and Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
