Model Hailey Bieber, Wife of Singer Justin Bieber, Shows Support for Her Husband’s Ex as Selena Gomez Announces Engagement on Instagram
On December 12, Hailey Bieber liked Selena Gomez’s post on Instagram. According to E! News, Bieber’s wife opted to congratulate Selena “in a subtle way.” Hailey was one of nearly 18 million people who liked Selena’s photos showcasing her engagement ring and sharing the happy news.
In the past, rumors of a feud between Hailey and Selena have circulated, though both women have denied any animosity. Earlier in 2023, Hailey was suspected of mocking Selena alongside her close friend Kylie Jenner in an Instagram Story. The incident escalated to the point where Hailey faced online threats, and Kylie lost a million followers in the backlash.
At the time, Selena stepped in to quash the rumors and urged people to stop bullying Hailey. “Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know she has been receiving death threats and hateful messages,” Selena wrote on her Instagram Story on March 24. “I have always advocated for kindness and really want all of this to stop.”
Shortly after Selena addressed the situation, Hailey expressed gratitude to the actress and urged people not to speculate or spread hateful comments online. “Ultimately, I believe love will always be greater than hate and negativity, and that we all have an opportunity to meet one another with empathy and compassion,” Hailey said.
