Justin Bieber is in love. You heard it here, straight from Bieber’s own mouth.

Speaking to Elvis Duran on “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show,” Justin Bieber spilled the news, saying, “Yes. I am in love. Her name is Esther, she’s my little puppy! She’s adorable. She’s a Silky Terrier. She makes me smile.”

Well, that’s a load of the minds of hundreds of thousands of teen girls, and a ridiculously high number of grown women, everywhere.

Apparently Bieber has had it with people’s drama, so much so that he prefers the company of animals nowadays.

“I just want to be around people who I feel are supporting me, uplifting me, and making sure I’m the best version of myself because there are so many people in this industry who just want to keep seeing me fall,” Bieber confided.

Apparently the megastar has been messed over pretty badly by people in his past. Now he has a hard time trusting that people he meets aren’t out to burn him again.

“Trusting people is hard, especially for me.” Justin Bieber continues, “I’ve trusted people who I probably shouldn’t have trusted before and they’ve hurt my heart. I’m a pretty sensitive guy, so I’ll lay it all on the line, and they’ll kind of pull it. So now I’m figuring out there’s certain people I can’t do that with. Here’s what I’ll tell the people: Don’t let someone who ruined your trust ruin that next person’s chance to gain that trust. I think I let that affect me and change the way I looked at people for a while.”

Still, Bieber admits that he has to learn to let people in, because they’re not all bad.

“There’s so many beautiful and amazing people who will encourage you, who will love you, who will not judge you. But I didn’t see that because I completely put myself over here,” he continues. “I still have moments where I’m like, ‘Yeah people suck.’ And then I’ll have those moments of like, ‘No, people are awesome, and this is why I do what I do in the first place.’ ”
