Jealousy might be in the air for Justin Bieber’s ex Selena Gomez. In the superstar’s latest music video “All That Matters,” Cailin Russo stars as the object of Bieber’s obsession. He later posted a picture of the blonde babe kissing him on the cheek. According to UsMagazine.com, Gomez recently posted a picture of herself on Instagram with a caption that said, “I thought he only liked the Latina category. Smh… #nomakeup #hatewhengirlssaythat,” and Bieber’s latest crush is convinced this was directed towards her. “It was clearly directed at him with me in the video, but like I said I was just doing my job,” Russo shares in a recent interview with Cosmopolitan. “Selena is a superstar and I’m just a girl in a video. She’s his ex, and I’m sure they still have feelings for each other.”

Cupid’s Advice:
It’s always difficult seeing your ex move on with someone else, even if you had an amicable breakup. But unfortunately this is inevitable when any relationship ends. The best thing you can do is handle your situation with maturity and class:
1. Avoid contact: Nothing good ever comes from sending your ex a snarky text message about their new significant other or posting a passive aggressive comment online. So hide them from your social networks, even delete or block their number if necessary. We’re all guilty of doing a little Facebook stalking to find out who our ex has moved on to, but honestly, when has this ever helped or made us feel better?

2. Remind yourself why you broke up: Sometimes seeing your ex with someone new can stir up old feelings, but remembering why things didn’t work out between you two can often help you avoid feeling jealous. It might even make you happy your ex has met someone else.

3. Focus on you: Remember that break ups mean moving on for the both of you. Use this as your motivation to do something for yourself. Whether that’s getting back into the dating scene, or just devoting some time and energy to a new hobby, project, etc. While break ups signify endings, they also hold potential for bright, new beginnings.
