Did Justin Bieber give Selena Gomez a “pre-engagement ring”?

These photos are from this past weekend, in Malibu. Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber spent some quality time with Justin’s two half-siblings, Jaxson and Jazmyn. Seriously. Those are the names. For real. Jaxson and Jazmyn look to be… I don’t know, maybe both of them are under the age of 4? In any case, it looks like Justin and Selena are being oddly… parental with these kids. Like they’re taking a test-drive of teenage parenthood, and they kind of like what they see. Ugh. Dear God, I really hope Selena is on the pill. I know contraception is the responsibility of both people, etc, etc, but Justin is a little uber-Christian, and I’m pretty sure Selena is the one who is thinking about it. Please, please let her have an IUD or something.

Anyway, I’m showing these photos now because of this weird/obvious story in OK! Magazine/Hollywood Life this week. According to sources, Justin Bieber has “put a ring on it.” Seriously. For real.

Selena’s new diamond-studded ‘J’ ring wasn’t just a pre-Valentine’s day gift — it was a pre-ENGAGEMENT ring! Do you think they’ll last forever?

Selena Gomez, 19, shared a pic on Instagram on Feb. 12 of a ring in the shape of a ‘J’ with the message “I’m finally home” during a romantic date with boyfriend Justin Bieber, 17, in New York City. And now a new report claims the super cute gesture was Justin’s way of promising Selena he’ll be with her forever.

“It was kind of a pre-engagement ring, really,” a source tells OK! magazine. “They’re too young to get married, but they are just head over heels in love with each other and they want to spend the rest of their lives together…It symbolizes their intention to be together for a long time.”

This comes almost a year after the pair stepped out holding hands at the Vanity Fair Oscar party on Feb. 27, 2011. From tropical romantic getaways around the world to Mariah Yeater accusing Justin of being her baby’s daddy, the two young lovebirds have definitely had a whirlwind of a year, but are stronger than ever.

“They are 100 percent monogamous — Justin has girls throwing themselves at him all the time, but they are essentially invisible to him,” the source tells the mag. “Her never misses an opportunity to tell Selena how beautiful she is.”

You might think it’s just a bunch of BS, but seriously, isn’t this the way it’s going to go down? They’ll get pre-engaged now. And then they’re get real-engaged next year. And then she’ll be pregnant. That’s how these kids roll nowadays. It makes me feel like an old fart, I know, but this is what they’re being encouraged to do!!! I wish MTV had a show called “16 and Using Birth Control Effectively and Responsibly.” But THAT would be the real “controversy” wouldn’t it? Because “controversy” is encouraging kids to experiment with their bodies in a responsible way, understanding that the way you feel about yourself and someone else at the age of 17 isn’t going to be the same five years from now? It’s “controversial” to suggest that two semi-adults, under the age of 21, don’t know enough about the world or themselves to get married and have babies?

    This girl needs to spend some time with a guy who’s shoulders are wider than hers and who’s (I’m confident) better in bed than this dweeb, maybe then she’d think twice about getting “pre-engaged”.

    I am shuddering.

  2. Asli says:

    This might sound childish but I cannot find a better word to describe how I feel about these two doing it: Eeewwwwww!

    Most of my sex-having friends are using birth control pills etc. by way of encouraging parents. One of my friends actually had her mom put out condoms when her boyfriend was over and the mom had to leave. And another one, this one is kind of gross, had his mom slip on a used condom in his bedroom. Gross, but she was actually happy that he was using protection. I think parents should encourage their kids to use protection, instead of preaching abstinence, because we all know teenagers do whatever the f-ck they want. Better to be safe than sorry.

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      Hi Asli! ITA with your sentiments. They look like CHILDREN to me. And I guess at my age, they are just kids. I hope these two use protection/bc.

      • Asli says:

        Hi!

        I know! It’s mindboggling to me that so many teens are getting knocked up in a day and age where birth control is the easiest thing to get access to. They sell condoms at convinience stores! How hard can it be to go down and get some (and if they can’t afford it, wait ’till they can).

    • MJ says:

      Oh god, I had to read your statement about the used condom a few times before I realized you didn’t mean that his mom “slipped” a used condom onto her son. AAH!

      • Isa says:

        MJ- Same here!
        Idk if my parents ever talked to my brother about safe sex. My mom took me to the clinic, but she didn’t really talk to me. I gave my brother my bag of condoms.

    • Beatriz says:

      Wait, you mean she literally slipped on a used condom, like a banana peel? Doesn’t matter, still made me laugh a lot xD

  3. call-in says:

    A ring with your boyfriend’s initial on it? Give me a break. The longer it takes her to realize she’s outta his league, the less true it becomes.

  4. Sumodo1 says:

    Asli, I’m going to try to wash your post out of my brain. Manufactured teen pop romances! Eeeeeee.

  5. ZZZ says:

    I’m thinking it was more like a “premature ejaculation” ring…..
    Like an apology. The ring looks pretty CHEAP. And that last paragraph
    “They are 100 percent monogamous — Justin has girls throwing themselves at him all the time, but they are essentially invisible to him,” the source tells the mag. “Her never misses an opportunity to tell Selena how beautiful she is.”

    is such a load of S H I T!

  6. hateonit. says:

    gross gross gross….really? ewwww. they both look twelve. and the way things are going they’re always gunna look that old. but the point is they are way too young to be thinking of stuff like this. and what ever happened to that girl that accused Justin of being the father?!? she just went away? bet she was payed to go away cuz I wasn’t gunna get tired of that story till I found the answer and honestly never did….

  7. Michelle says:

    You know what? I was 19 when I got married. I’m 27 now. I wouldn’t have done it any other way. I wasn’t pregnant, we still haven’t had kids, and I actually knew what I was doing at the time. Can I say the same for every other couple of the same age? Probably not. But blanket statements about age and marriage generally aren’t the way to go; I have cousins 20 years older than me who still don’t have the mental and emotional fortitude to handle a long term relationship, when I could do so as a teenager. Everybody’s different.

    • Kimlee says:

      From what we heared from people who work with Justin is that he very immature, so I think it’s safe to say that this is not the case.

    • lisa says:

      Congrats!

      You are right. You can find people who were married before 21 and a decade later are still happily married. You can find people who marry at 40 and are divorced in under 5 years and vice versa.

      It boils down to the person.
      Maturity and age don’t go hand in hand.

    • Shannon says:

      It’s fantastic that you have a happy marriage, but the stats on this are pretty clear. People who get married before age 25 have much higher rates of divorce than people who get married after 25. That’s not a blanket statement; it’s a fact.

  8. Madrid says:

    I see three babies and a woman

  9. normades says:

    I actually thought it was nice in that RS interview where they asked him about pre-marital sex and he did’t try to play the purity ring sham (a la Jonas). He said something to the effect that it was Ok if it was with someone you loved.

    JB bugs me but I think they are cute together. She has him tots whipped!

  10. Kimlee says:

    I think it’s all for publicly to get attention on them , their like hey let’s do some photo op with your/my siblings to get the media talking about us again and it work.

    • saylor says:

      agreed. something just screams photo op with this. it’s gross. they all just look like a bunch of kids together. and are these half siblings from his mom or dad? his dad seems like an uber douche who didn’t really get involved in his son’s life until he got famous.

  11. Denver Danni says:

    I was the same way with my sister who is a lot younger. I loved taking care of her and she was always with me. My friends were always super nice when I had to take care of her.

    • MJ says:

      Me too! My youngest sibling was born when I was 14 and I loved hanging out with him. It really changed my social life in high school, because hanging out with an awesome baby/toddler was way more fun and hilarious than getting groped by a drunk 17 year-old, then puking my guts out into a trash can in front of 7-11.

      The only downside was when adults treated me differently because they thought he was my child. A 15 year-old pushing a stroller gets a lot of mean comments and side-eyes.

  12. Lindsay says:

    I find it weird that the ring is a J. It’s like he’s marking her or something.

    • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

      Seriously. How narcissistic. Why not a simple heart or something? No, she has to be KNOWN, for sure, as Justin’s girl..in case there was any doubt.

  13. Delta Juliet says:

    Well, first of all I hope they realize that hanging out with little bro and sis at the beach is not even close to what parenting is all about.

    Second of all, they are SO YOUNG! I remember being that age, and in love, and we were sure it would last forever! It was a wonderful feeling, but I realize now the difference between young love and mature love.

    And yes, I realize some people marry young and make it last (my best friend from high school, actually) but that is clearly the exception and not the rule. Factor in insane amounts of cash, celebrity and ego, and well, forget about it.

  14. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    Ew. I don’t know why this mommy image of her is really annoying me so much. Ughhh

  15. grazi says:

    i dont get the ewww thing. they are both young, atractive and health teenagers, what is so eww about them?
    because they are having sex? so are they the only teenagers their age having sex?
    because they look young? what is the problem about looking young? i though it was a good thing.
    and you guys call them immature, yet we are all here seriously discussing love promisses/plans teenagers in love make.

  16. Isa says:

    I watched Never Say Never a few nights ago. I have Beiber fever now…

  17. AquaticMusings says:

    How egotistical. I personally wouldn’t be thrilled if my SO gave me a ring with his initials on it. Blah.

  18. Amanda says:

    can anyone tell what his necklace is?

  19. UniqJazz says:

    They are not going to last. They are already color coordinating. Remember when britney spears and justin timberlake did that. We all saw how that turned out. They are gonna drift apart. I give them 2 and a half to three years tops ! I called it.

  20. Cecila says:

    I think Selena Gomez is gorgeous love her hair and that she doesn’t look like she’s starved my daughter is 7 and loves Justin and strange enough she like Selena with him in other words she not a hatter. I don’t like the fact of teenage pregnancy but I don’t think these two will go down that path they seem in love and like that have a head on there shoulders and the ring thing is adorable I would want her to be with someone that with be there for the long haul and expressing that commitment virus a dutch bag with her just because.and as far as Justin siblings its nice that he spends time with his sister and brother

  21. Beatriz says:

    “16 and Using Birth Control Effectively and Responsibly”-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Hilarious Kaiser!

  22. Jennifer12 says:

    I work in an inner city neighborhood and let me tell you, the consequences of babies having babies is stamped all over the place. Young people should not be having babies; there’s an awesome book called “Random Family” that highlights what these kids’ lives are like. MTV is full of crap and I’m glad this site called them out on it. They’re looking for controversy, ratings and money. They’re not trying to encourage kids to be safe and use birth control and think about their bodies in an intelligent way. Kids are being encouraged to live in an adult way and they’re not ready for it. Look at Maci Bookout and Leah Someone- obsessed with getting pregnant AGAIN, getting engaged/married at young ages. What about a career or school? No, they’ve received money and attention and fame from their errors and want it to keep going. Babies are a shock to the system- how much they need and how much of yourself you have to devote to them. And these kids aren’t ready and then they repeat the history later on. They allow in boyfriends who treat the kids like crap or abuse them. Wish someone would step up and have truly helpful programming.

  23. Lizzi says:

    So was the kid his? I don’t remember hearing. I bet it was!
