Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez: from enemies to friends?
Despite the fact that Hailey and Justin Bieber have been married since 2018, it seems that many of her followers have not yet been able to forget her controversial relationship with Selena Gomez. If we look back, the story of Justin and Selena begins more than a decade ago — yes, how time flies. What starts out as an idyllic couple quickly turns into a constant back-and-forth relationship between 2011 and 2015.
Everything changes when, in early 2016, Justin makes it clear that he is no longer with Selena, his first love, by posting a photo with Hailey. However, it is the singer who confirms that it is not an exclusive couple but an open relationship. There are so many questions about romance that Hailey is forced to explain in an interview with Marie Claire that they are not officially together because Justin is going on tour and relationships being young are very difficult. Soon after, Justin is caught with Sofia Richie, another influencer.
If one thing is clear in this complex history, it is that 2017 is the key year. Some photos are leaked in which Justin is again with Selena and, as expected, the networks burn. The fandom goes crazy fantasizing about a final reconciliation after so many breakups. But very, very shortly after, Justin starts dating Hailey again. What a mess.
So much so that in July 2018, Justin proposed to Hailey and three months later, in September, they were married. The fans do not take long to account and there are many who believe that Justin was unfaithful to Selena with his current wife. Even to this day, the followers of both continue to fight, although it is increasingly clear that they just want to make amends.
Criticism and mental health
And, although it seems hard to believe, Selena and Hailey are more alike than you think. The first was also criticized at the time of her when she started dating Justin simply for the fact of being her girlfriend. At that time, Selena made their relationship public on 'The Ellen Show' confessing that she did not take criticism especially well: "They hurt a lot, I'm not doing anything wrong, the Beliebers have hurt me, but I try not to think too much about it, I have a strong family and great fans. "
Now, the hate is received by Hailey. In fact, in April of this year she had to close her Twitter account. "Just the idea of opening the application makes me so anxious that I feel like I'm going to vomit," says the model. And not just Twitter, she has also changed her Instagram settings — only her closest circle can comment on her posts. "Now I know that when I look at my comments it will only be good and positive things," Hailey confesses to psychologist Jessica Clemmons.
A like is worth a thousand words
Time heals everything. Or so they say. What we do know is that Hailey has 'liked' a photo of Selena Gomez four years after her fight. That's right, Selena is the cover of the latest issue of Elle and, although Selena and Hailey do not follow each other, Hailey did not hesitate to like the publication of the official account of the magazine.
However, it's not the first time we've caught Hailey liking Selena or her fan accounts. But there are still some who doubt the good intentions of the model. For example, one of hers' most controversial 'likes' was when Selena celebrated the success of "Look at her now" and "Lose you to love me", two songs that deal with her anguish after leaving a toxic relationship. Good vibes or pullita? And most importantly, are they finally closer to being friends than foes?
