Is my ex in the honeymoon stage or is she in a rebound relationship?

Hey long story short girlfriend of 8 years, first love amazing relationship. she started hanging out with a guy about 2 or 3 months before she broke up with me. she ended up leaving me for him. would u still consider this a rebound relationship? because i know she wasnt completely over me about a month after we broke up. i talked to her on the phone and it was clear she still had feelings for me. from what i hear from her brother(my close friend) she seems happy with him. could this be the honeymoon stage making her happy. i really miss her and i know you guys are gonna tell me i deserve better and to move on(which i am moving on) but i still really love her and i know shes a good person but obviously very emotionally immature throwing something that we had that was so special away for a chance with a guy that seems like kind of a player. he also does drugs, doesnt work much, never finished high school. what the hell is she thinking? my main questions were about if you think its a rebound(not that it matters but id like to know your opinions) and if you think shes just very happy because everyone is very happy during the honeymoon phase.
