Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez’s relationship status is unclear these days with reports that they may be reconciling after breaking up for good around New Year’s. Now there’s about to be another spanner thrown into the mix as Life & Style magazine is claiming that 19-year-old Justin had an affair with Rihanna in 2011.

The magazine’s source claims to be a friend of Justin and Selena’s and says, "It really cut like a knife because it happened in February of 2011, when Selena and Justin had been dating for months and were falling in love.
