Justin Bieber made a bold statement about his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, who he has an on-again, off-again relationship with. The “Never Say Never” singer, 19, gushed about the “Come & Get It” singer when he posted a photo of her from an Oscars party Sunday night.

Bieber posted the picture to Instagram with the caption, “Most elegant princess in the world.”

MTV News notes the picture of Gomez, 21, is from the Vanity Fair Oscars party, where she wore a gold Emilio Pucci gown.

The party is ironically the same party Bieber and Gomez appeared at in 2011 when they first went public with their relationship. Since then, they’ve been on and off since the end of 2012. They were most recently seen spending time together in Calabasas in January, right before Bieber got into the heap of legal trouble he’s in now.

He has plead not guilty to DUI, driving without a valid license and resisting arrest stemming from his arrest that same month.
