Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez: A Decade of Mutual Admiration Beyond the Headlines

Hailey Bieber (formerly Baldwin) and Selena Gomez have long been portrayed as rivals because of their past and present connections to Justin Bieber — yet, both individuals have consistently demonstrated mutual regard through their online platforms.

During the early 2010s, well before her romance with her eventual spouse began, Hailey often posted tweets expressing her admiration for Justin and Gomez, then a romantic pair.

“Their relationship is ideal,” the fashion figure — who exchanged vows with the “Peaches” vocalist in September 2018 — posted on Twitter in 2012, according to Just Jared, humorously speculating that she would be “forever alone.” The adolescent at the time lauded the Only Murders in the Building actress as “absolutely perfect” in her online post.

Justin and Gomez maintained a well-known intermittent romance for the subsequent years. Towards late 2015, Justin was seen kissing Hailey, although they hadn't formally become a couple. He reunited with Gomez yet again in November 2017, Us Weekly verified then. Nevertheless, an insider informed Us that Justin and Hailey continued to communicate by text, asserting their connection was “strictly friendly.”

By May 2018, the Jelena pairing had definitively ended. One month subsequent, Us revealed that Justin had reconnected with Hailey — and the “Baby” artist swiftly acted, asking the Rhode founder to marry him in July 2018. The pair solemnized their marriage two months subsequently.
