Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez have now addressed ongoing speculation of a feud between the duo.
Rumors regarding their relationship have been circulating on social media for half a decade, originating from Bieber’s (née Baldwin) whirlwind courtship with her now husband, Justin Bieber.

Bieber famously dated Gomez on and off from 2011 until 2018. He had been seen getting cozy with his now-wife during periods when his relationship with Gomez had been believed to be ‘off.’
The Biebers would wed in September of 2018, only months after his relationship with the “Lose You To Love Me” singer had finally ended.
Both Bieber and Gomez have spent a significant amount of time attempting to squash the narrative on social media and in interviews. Now, both women have come out and addressed the heightened interest in the state of their relationship over the past month.

The latest round of drama began after Gomez posted a TikTok where she was rocking heavily laminated eyebrows. Bieber’s friend Kylie Jenner posted an Instagram story shortly after, drawing attention to her own eyebrows. In the second slide of her story, the Kylie Cosmetics founder shared a FaceTime screenshot featuring her and Bieber focusing on their brows.
Social media users quickly noticed the parallel, and began speculating Jenner’s Instagram story posts were an intentional swipe toward Gomez. Despite both Bieber and Jenner later denying reports of a feud between them, fans would continue to examine the narrative regarding Bieber and Gomez’s relationship.

“Too much kindness but I still love you #SelenaGomez Also, no one deserves bully [sic], people should stop harassing & meddling in people’s affairs of #HaileyBieber personal stuff.

“Wait. #HaileyBieber has been a major a hole to @selenagomez for YEARS, and Selena is now protecting her because she can’t handle the consequences? Girl, gtfo. #MeanGirls can’t handle the heat all of a sudden,” a fan tweeted.
“The thing is Hailey has broken EVERY code among women and sorority yet is expected from Selena to be the mature one… BUT the thing that still bothers me is the Biebers’ hypocrisy and how Selena STILL has to put up with this s***,” another fan wrote.
“Selena has defended that girl publicly more than her own husband lmao,” a fan pointed out.
“she’s the kindest person in the world,” a fan tweeted about Gomez. “we don’t deserve her.”
