The mystery beauty who caught the eye of Justin Bieber on Instagram is 17 and lives in Spain

Justin and Mystery girl Cindy

Justin Bieber's mysterious Instagram crush has spoken out on social media after a worldwide search to discover her identity. A young woman, going by the Instagram name 'wolfiecindy', admitted she was overwhelmed by the attention she received after the singer posted her image on his own account on Monday, while she told fans on her Tumblr account she is 17 and lives in Spain.

The Canadian demanded to know the identity of a mystery girl he spotted on Instagram as he uploaded an image of her, who bears a striking resemblance to Russian model Irina Shayk, then pleaded with his fans to help him track her down.

He captioned the image: 'OMG who is this!' and was duly inundated by messages from female fans claiming to be the young lady, although sadly for the 21-year-old they were telling tales.
Fans soon flocked to Twitter to tell him it was supposedly a girl called Cindy Kimberly, who has a habit of posting selfies on her Instagram page.

Her Instagram profile reads: 'My name is Cindy and I get too excited about fictional related stuff.'
Following hours of speculation, an account under the name 'Wolfiecindy' posted a statement on Tuesday evening claiming she was overwhelmed by the furore over her identity.

Meanwhile over on her 'wolfcindy' Instagram page she has revealed another celebrity crush, unfortunately for Justin, captioning a photo of Teen Wolf actor Dylan O'Brien, with 'Da bae'.
Another Instagram account, this time private, under the name 'wolfiecindyreal' also exists with more than 250,000 followers.

Cindy is obviously a Justin Bieber fan as just days ago she posted a brief video to the site showing her listening to the opening seconds of the singer's hit 'No Sense'.
In one of her pictures an excited fan said, 'IT'S THE JB GIRL.'

And as well as posting a number of selfies, she has also put up several drawings of herself, some of them created by her 108,000 followers.
The image Justin posted was certainly popular, attracting more than 700,000 likes within the space of a few hours.

One fan wrote: 'The girl Justin posted a picture of is actually stunning like OMG.'
The post follows reports that Justin's former flame Selena Gomez, 23, locked lips with One Direction star Niall Horan, 22, at Jenna Dewan's birthday party following KIIS FM's 2015 Jingle Ball in LA.
Could it be that Justin is feeling a little wounded?
Only two days before, he posted an old picture of himself with Selena Gomez on Instagram, which drove his fans wild.

Justin has been linked to British model Jayde Pierce, 20, who has been pictured with the star several times this year. The pair holidayed in Bora Bora in October where he was famously pictured naked.
He has also been linked to models Hailey Baldwin, 19 and Chantel Jeffries in the past.
The pop star was seen walking hand-in-hand with the Revival hit maker. He labeled the post: 'Crazy throwback.'
It's the second time in four days that the 21-year-old Canadian has posted a picture of himself and the raven-haired beauty from when they were together.
Justin and Selena dated on and off from late 2010 until earlier this year and the pop star recently told Access Hollywood he's still not sure if he's 'over it' yet.
A couple of weeks ago, he was caught on a cellphone video serenading the former Disney star in a Beverly Hills hotel bar.
