If you're wondering who Justin Bieber is dating, well Justin Bieber spent Thanksgiving with his ex-girlfriend — but not the one you’re thinking.
The tatted singer enjoyed the holidays with a girl he dated even before Selena Gomez was in the picture, Caitlin Beadles. The young pair were together in 2008 and 2009 when Bieber still rocked his side-swept hair and bare arms.
While Gomez celebrated the holiday with her family in Texas, Bieber was with Beadles and her brother, Christian Beadles, who is a close friend of his.
Beadles and Bieber dated during their teenage years but their fling eventually ended. Now, she is in a serious relationship with a dude named Logan Davis, so it is unlikely anything is going on between the two. Bieber is said to be dating Selena Gomez.
It seems Beadles is in Bieber’s life for good, though — as a friend. Bieber is very close to her brother, who he considers his own brother. He even posted a photo of the three together on Thanksgiving with the caption, “So thankful for my brother and sister this Thanksgiving.”
Although the pair might not be a thing anymore, they are still in each other’s lives quite often due to Bieber and her brother’s friendship.
