Justin Bieber dumped Caitlin Beadle in October 2009 just before his My World tour.
With a worldwide tour coming up requiring constant travel and practice, he decided to call off the relationship rather than have things strained by distance and the scrutiny of the media.
Caitlin had been dating Justin for some time before his career took off, pushing Justin into the public spotlight and earning him an army of fans almost overnight. With many of those fans being teenage girls, the couple struggled at times to cope with the publicity and interest created on the back of his YouTube video hits.
With the music and celebrity world beating a path to Justin's home in Stratford, Ontario the lives and love of the two kids was never going to be the same again with the whole world wanting to know about the overnight singing sensation.
The pressures of travel made it almost impossible to continue their relationship with the publicity machine surrounding Justin making it clear that his value is much higher as a single guy rather than as part of a couple with his girlfriend at home or travelling on the circuit with him.
These pressures and the everyday challenges that teenagers in all walks of life face made their continuing romance a non-starter and it was no surprise to anyone close to the couple when it was announced that they were no longer an item.
Since the decision to split, there has been constant rumours and speculation that the couple will get back together again. The pair of them are content to leave others to speculate and claim to be best friends but until either of them is seen to be dating someone else there will always be speculation that romance is in the air between Justin and Caitlin.
