Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber Baby Name: Singer Revealed Would-Be Child's Name In 2010 Video
Selena Gomez envisioned marrying Justin Bieber and having kids with him during the early days of their relationship, according to a resurfaced video.
In the video -- which resurfaced on social media after Bieber and his wife Hailey recently announced they're expecting their first child together -- Gomez answered some questions from fans during an appearance on the radio show "Frankie's Neighborhood" in February 2010.
One fan asked Gomez what she would name her future child. The "Good for You" singer was quick to share her dream baby name -- along with who the father of her child would be.
"I've had these names picked out for a while," Gomez told the crowd.
"I like Emory," she said before spelling out the name. "Emory -- insert my husband's last name. Yeah, Emory Bieber."
The resurfaced video had some fans speculating whether Hailey would name her and Bieber's child Emory or some version of it to "get under" Gomez's skin.
In one Reddit thread about the potential name of Bieber and Hailey's child, one person wrote: "I recently came across an old clip of Selena talking about baby names. If she would have had a boy, she would have named it Emory Bieber. Ever since I keep thinking that Hailey might use that name in a way."
Another suggested, "I bet she will name it something super close to that."
"I'd laugh my a*s off if she chose Emerson," a third user commented.
But others said this is unlikely as it will only fuel the rumors that there's bad blood between Hailey and Gomez -- despite both stars denying this over the years.
"I don't think they will name the baby Emory," one Redditor wrote. "It will just confirm to some people she is in fact a stalker [and] obsessed with Selena."
"No, I don't think she will do that. I said it before that I think Hailey now that she is pregnant doesn't care much about Selena. In her eyes, she's won," another claimed.
After meeting as teenagers in 2009, Gomez and Bieber dated on and off from 2010 to 2018.
"We were so in love. Nothing else mattered," Bieber told Complex in 2015 about his and Gomez's early relationship, calling it a "marriage kind of thing."
After they broke up for good in March 2018, the "Love Yourself" hitmaker went on to get engaged to and marry Hailey in September that year.
Earlier this month, the couple renewed their wedding vows and announced that they're expecting a baby.
Hailey has since shown off her baby bump multiple times on social media and during recent sightings with her husband.
Meanwhile, Gomez has also moved on with her boyfriend, music producer Benny Blanco.
During an appearance on "The Howard Stern Show" on May 14, Blanco confirmed that he hopes to take his relationship with Gomez to the next level.
"I see love here, I'm predicting marriage," Stern said of their romance, to which Blanco replied, "You and me both."
While the music producer said he doesn't have a ring picked out yet, he couldn't help but gush over Gomez.
"When I look at her ... I'm always just like, I don't know a world where it could be better than this," said Blanco.
