Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber were together for the first time in a picture taken by Tyrell Hampton. The two women were seen smiling while seated close to one another. In Los Angeles, the 2022 Academy Museum Gala took place on October 15. This is their first public picture together following the drama involving Justin Bieber. Many fans and celebrities responded to the picture in various ways, but the majority of them expressed how heartwarming it is to see them together after all of the turbulence in the past. According to the report, both ladies are prepared to move on.
If you weren’t aware of what happened, let’s break it down.
2009 – 2011
Justin met Hailey Baldwin when he was 15 and she was 12 in 2009. Hailey and Justin met because Hailey’s father, Steve Baldwin, told Justin how much he enjoyed Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.
At the Vanity Fair Oscar celebration in 2011, the adorable preteen stars shared their first red carpet experience. The young pair dressed similarly in crimson for their first formal event together, literally putting the “red” in red carpet. Later, Selena clarified that it was their take on a double “prom.” On May 2, 2011, Selena said in an interview that she was in a romantic relationship with Justin Bieber
2012 – 2015
However, Justin and Selena split in 2012, their first separation. Many of their followers were sad because they broke up earlier this year – but this isn’t the first time they’ve gone through a break-up and gotten back together. Insiders say that the two of them had trust issues, which led to tension in their relationship.
Selena and Orlando were reportedly spotted together in July 2014, amid her and Justin’s on-again, off-again relationship. The two were reportedly seen together during Chelsea Handler’s comedy show, according to insiders. Orlando and Justin might have argued when he found out what was going on.
Justin shared a picture of Hailey and him in the same car in November of 2014. He and Selena may have “broken up” at this point, which led many people to believe he and Hailey were dating. In the same Instagram post, Justin denied the accusations, saying Hailey is only a close friend and that he is a very single man. Because Hailey and Justin were such close friends, Justin spent New Year’s Eve with his friends.
A month prior to Hailey Baldwin and other friends’ trip to the Caribbean in November 2015, Justin was seen singing The Temptations’ My Girl to Selena Gomez at a hotel bar. At the time, Selena had already broken up with her. Selena, Justin’s ex-girlfriend, couldn’t help but smile and giggle at his singing and actions, and as a result, they were seen cuddling in a video.
Justin once more spent New Year’s Eve with Hailey’s company in December 2015. They weren’t in a car this time when he shared a snapshot of them partying on Instagram. They were sharing a kiss, indicating that there may be more going on between them. Prior to dating Hailey, Justin was seeing Sofia Richie. At the time, Sofia Richie was the target of abuse from Jelena supporters. Justin responded on social media, writing: “Really fans, you wouldn’t be that mean to the one that I like. I’m going to make my Instagram private if you don’t stop the hate that’s getting out of control here.”
Selena shared her thoughts, “If you can’t stand the hate, stop posting pictures of your girlfriend. It should only be between you and you.” Don’t get angry with people who admire you – they’re just doing what comes natural. He loved and supported you before anyone else. ” Their debate continued in the comments, with Selena accusing Justin of being unfaithful, to which Justin responded, “I cheated… Oh, did I forget about you and Zayn?”
2017 – 2019
After all the controversy in the comments, Selena and Justin were frequently spotted together in November 2017 in Los Angeles, leading some to believe that they had patched things up following Selena’s brief relationship with The Weeknd. While rumors of Justin and Selena getting back together were circulating in December 2017, Justin and Hailey were still close friends. Given that they apparently had a brief romance, many Jelena fans were upset to see Hailey and Justin become friends.
Sadly, Selena and Justin officially split up in May 2018, and in June, Justin began dating Hailey. Justin and Hailey rekindled their romance and later were married legally in September 2018. Since getting married, those who are against their marriage have had their say about their marriage. The Biebers addressed concerns from fans regarding their marriage by saying,
“You little internet children need to learn how to move on for real,” Hailey said in an Instagram story. We’re adults with better things to do than explain anything just so you can stop having foolish dreams. I’m not going to sit here and listen to obsessive strangers tell me about my own husband; if you want to talk about someone else’s husband, get your own. G’night!! “
“Why would I devote my entire life to someone in marriage to get back to my ex?” Justin said on Instagram. Anyone who believes this is either cruel or 10 years old or younger, because a reasonable person would not speak or think in this manner. You should be embarrassed by yourself. I loved and adored Selena, and she will always have a special place in my heart, but I am over over heels in love with my wife, and she is the best thing that has ever happened to me, period.”
The song “Love You To Love Me,” which Selena released on October 23, 2019, sparked allegations that it was written for Hailey Bieber in reaction to the public outcry. 34 minutes after the single’s release at 12:00 a.m., Hailey shared the Jhene Aiko and Summer Walker song “I’ll Kill You” on her Instagram story. She shared the story and then made it clear that Selena was not the intended target. A month later, Hailey continues to deny fighting with Selena. Hailey believes Selena has talent, so she supports her. In a follow-up interview, Hailey said that social media is “a breeding ground for toxicity and people manufacturing phony drama between women and trying to pit women against one another and create these narratives that are just…toxic.” She added, “I think that has to change and that has to stop.”
Selena also made a similar statement, stating that she does not support women tearing down other women and will never be that type of person. She also encouraged everyone to be courteous and not to be nasty to anyone.
Although the conflict between Hailey and Selena has subsided, some followers have continued to annoy Hailey on Justin Bieber’s Instagram live. The nasty reply claimed Selena was superior and Justin should choose her. “This terrible excuse of a human just pushed people on video to basically go after my wife telling people that my prior relationship was better so on and so forth,” Justin responds after taking screenshots of the fan’s comments and captioning the post. “It is exceedingly difficult for me to choose the high road when I watch people like them try to encourage people to bully the person I love the most in this world.”
2021 – Present
In 2021, Hailey started her own YouTube channel. In one of her videos, she discussed social media and mental health with a psychiatrist named Dr. Jessica Clemons. Hailey spoke to Selena’s supporters who persisted in pursuing her, stating that having so many people seek you for the same reason makes you constantly second-guess everything. She got to the point where she started to wonder if the accusations of the fans were true.
A compilation video from later in the year showed Justin and Hailey attending the Met Gala in May 2021 and only posing for the cameras. People were shouting Selena’s name constantly while this was happening, and in the merged video, Justin is seen comforting Hailey and telling her it’s okay. The people that were at the Met Gala were nasty to the married pair, according to other fans who watched the recordings.
Around April of this year, Hailey posted a message on Tiktok asking people to stop commenting on her posts whenever she makes a new one. She stated in her statement that “enough time has passed.” I’m conducting myself normally. I say nothing and don’t do anything. Please don’t bother me. All I ask is that.
But on May 11, 2022, Selena also shared a skincare routine on Tiktok. Is she making fun of you know who, a person asked in a comment? The comments on the video Selena posted were disabled, and she quickly refuted the allegations and apologized.
On September 28, 2022, Hailey Bieber took part in an episode of Alex Cooper’s podcast Call Her Daddy. She talked about Selena Gomez and their conflict for the first time. While Selena encouraged their supporters, the Jelena fans, to move on, she denied dating Justin the same time he and Selena were seeing each other. The following day, Selena highlighted the value of words during a live Instagram video. Her main goal in going live on Instagram was to express her gratitude to her followers for supporting her Rare cosmetics business.
Then, as was previously said, the couple was captured on camera for the first time. It’s possible that this may put an end to the long-running drama, and ideally it will motivate Jelena’s supporters to do the same.
Also, just a little fun fact. According to slingo.com, Selena Gomez reached 18th place as one of UK’s biggest female TV crushes, reaching a total of 91, 040.
