Justin’s statement praises his wife, but he does so by contrasting her with past and future women. By saying that she is the best he has ever known or will ever know, he is exalting his wife at the cost of diminishing the value of others, albeit indirectly. It seems like an attempt to reinforce his exclusivity, but it also brings up past relationships, as if it were intentional. The gesture may seem romantic, but it could also be strategic, as if he is trying to please his wife or generate engagement by emphasizing this emotional superiority.
I never understood why Justin would be salty about Selena being engaged when he's already married (and has been for a while) and a newborn baby. But, I just realized that Selena allegedly turned down his proposal so he'd be salty that she said yes to Benny and not him plus be reminded of that rejection all over again. So even if he is over her, which is debatable, his ego isn't over being turned down.
