Justin Bieber has shared his time with a few lady friends over the last year, but he has stopped short of getting serious with anyone else since he and Selena Gomez broke up in 2014. Despite their tumultuous relationship, Bieber still has nothing but good things to say about his ex-girlfriend.

"I'm proud of the woman she is today," the 21-year-old pop star told Billboard. "When you love someone that much, even if something comes between you, it's a love that never really dies."

His newfound maturity in life hasn't been enough for him to listen to Gomez's new album, "Revival," and its songs, which Bieber is sure he inspired in some way.

"I know I had a lot of play in that one. I don't know what she's saying about me," he said.

And what about those other women that show up on his Instagram every so often?

The "What Do You Mean" singer revealed things between him and Kendall Jenner were never serious; Hailey Baldwin is one of his "best friends in the entire world"; and he's still getting to know model-blogger Jayde Pierce (who he took to Bora Bora) after six months of hanging out.

Bieber will drop his new album, "Purpose," on Nov. 13.
