Looks like Justin Bieber and Sophia Richie will be the newest pair to be added in the list of celebrity couples who parted ways, as the two allegedly confirmed that they have split.
That's right. The controversial couple apparently broken up and sources claim that Bieber and Richie were "not serious to begin with."
According to E! News, the "casual-maybe-couple" were never really in a full-fledged relationship. The source claims, "They were never officially together, but more casual hanging out and having fun."
The source also added that the flame between the two fizzled and Bieber was the one who wanted to "cool things down."
"It was super-hot and heavy, and because Justin doesn't want a relationship right now, he wanted to cool things down," the source tells E! News. The source also claims that "it wasn't an intentional cool-off," and it "just sort of happened on its own."
It can be recalled that the couple holidayed in Mexico for Richie's 18th birthday. The two were even spotted doing some PDA. However, when asked about their status, Richie answered, "We have a special relationship," she gushed. "Justin is very easy to talk to, and that's hard to find with people in Los Angeles."

One of the recent controversies that hit the young couple was when Bieber deleted his Instagram account after online trolls targeted Richie. The drama intensified when Bieber's ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, slammed the pop star by saying "if you can't handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend."
Following the said split, Bieber, 22, is already out and ready to mingle, while Richie, 18, was spotted out on Sunday night hanging with friends at The Nice Guy.
