Pop star and tabloid bad boy Justin Bieber posted a picture Thursday on Instagram of himself and former girlfriend Selena Gomez in a cozy embrace, sparking rumors that the pair are back together. The picture in question showed Bieber holding Gomez in his arms as she holds his head and plants a kiss on his cheek.

"Right now everything else is a blur," the 20-year-old captioned the pic. The "Baby" singer quickly deleted the photo after posting it, further adding to the suspicion. In the past, other shots of he and Gomez together that have been shared on social media have also quickly been taken down.

It is unclear if the young two stars are dating again. E! News speculates this to be a throwback photo based on what they are wearing, but it does raise eyebrows that something is happening between the two.

Another source said that the pair were trying to mend their relationship back in June.

"[Selena] still loves him," the insider said to E! News. "It is hard for her to get over him because they have so much history."

However, reports later in the summer claimed the on-again-off-again singers were not a couple.

"There will forever be an emotional connection for them, but they don't have a title to their relationship," another source said to E! News around the time of Gomez's birthday in July. "He is not her boyfriend, but the feelings are always going to be there."

Bieber has been in recent headlines after an altercation with Orlando Bloom in Ibiza in July, allegedly over Bloom's ex-wife Miranda Kerr. Kerr and Bloom split last October, to which Bieber supposedly made a rude comment that prompted the confrontation. Bloom and Gomez had also been photographed together in April, although rumors of the two dating quickly fizzled.
