Justin Bieber might be secretly happy that his ex Selena Gomez was dancing to his number “Cold Water” in a very hot video, but the rumors of his alleged romance with Kourtney Kardashian are just not going away. The Inquisitr previously stated that Justin Bieber was quietly seeing Kourtney Kardashian, and Selena Gomez wasn’t exactly happy about it.

The Inquisitr quoted In Touch Weekly as saying that the “Baby” singer told Selena Gomez about his intimate relationship with Kourtney Kardashian, and she was quite angry.

“Justin explained that he is quietly seeing Kourtney Kardashian again,” the insider said.

However, it doesn’t look like Selena Gomez has anything to worry about given that Justin Bieber’s mother wished Selena Gomez a very happy birthday.

Pattie Mallette said in her tweet, “A birdie told me it was your birthday @selenagomez. Many tweets from the bird or may have been several birds maybe? #HappyBirthdaySelena”.

She continued, “I am blessed to know you @selenagomez & celebrate this precious day you were born! Don’t let them get to you. Keep UR peace & joy #LoveWins.” Pattie also favorited a Jelena tweet.

It’s hard to say whether getting a nod from Justin Bieber’s mother made Selena Gomez happy or if she was put off by Justin Bieber and Kourtney Kardashian’s relationship.

However, it didn’t seem like Selena Gomez was particularly happy on her birthday. She posted a rather strange message on Instagram.

“Tonight I felt extremely unauthentic, unconnected to both my myself and my music. I’ve never really felt like my materials, wardrobe or a video could define me. I act on a moment and fear something that hasn’t happened. I’m stagnant, I stay still and don’t just sit with myself first and ask ‘is this where I am, whole heartedly?’ I’ve always told the truth. I’m always true to my word, I’ve shown who I am but I need to rethink some areas of my life creatively and personally. Had to get that out.”

It’s not clear what Selena Gomez meant by that, but one can probably reach a conclusion that it all had something to do with the statements made by Pattie. Hollywood Life also reported that Justin had promised Selena Gomez he would end his relationship with Kourtney Kardashian, but that hasn’t happened yet.

“Justin promised Selena he was going to end his relationship with Kourtney, but he hasn’t done it yet,” Life & Style reported.

However, the publication has gone on to say that Justin has asked Selena Gomez to be patient.

“Justin promised Selena he was going to end his relationship with Kourtney, but he hasn’t done it yet,” Life & Style reports. “He told Selena she needed to be patient.”

Hollywood Life has even reported that Selena Gomez isn’t exactly happy with the fact that Justin Bieber won’t end his relationship with the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star.

The magazine went on to say that Kourtney doesn’t have the patience anymore.

“The Kardashians scare Kourtney,” the sources have stated. “She knows they have no boundaries. She does not want to have a confrontation with that family.”

The publication has gone on to say that Selena Gomez perceives Kourtney Kardashian as a threat.

“She sees Kourtney as a threat, but she and Justin have so much history between them,” the insider added. “Selena knows Justin will always pick her in the end.”

The sources have also stated that Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber are merely playing games with each other.

“They keep playing mind games with each other because they both want to wear the pants when it comes to a relationship,” an insider told Hollywood Life. “As much as they want things to happen again, it’s easier to play these games.”

Do you think Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are ever going to get back together?
