AceShowbiz - Hailey Bieber has firmly dismissed rumors that she "liked" a social media post mocking Selena Gomez and her fiance Benny Blanco. This controversy began when TikTok user Courtney Presto claimed that the model had interacted with her previous video where Gomez and Blanco were ridiculed over their recent photo shoot with Interview magazine.
However, a spokesperson for Hailey told Us Weekly, "This never happened," adding, "This entire story has been fabricated by a content creator looking to capitalize off of an old, tired narrative."
Hailey herself has repeatedly denied any perceived feud with her husband Justin Bieber's former girlfriend. She also denied alleged overlap between her relationship with Justin and his relationship with Selena.
"It's not my character to mess with someone's relationship, I was raised better than that," Hailey stressed during a previous interview. Hailey and Justin tied the knot in September 2018, with a son, Jack, born in 2024.
Selena Gomez, meanwhile, seems unfazed by the drama. She has redirected attention to her upcoming album "I Said I Love You First," set to be released on March 21.
In a positive gesture, Selena shared various intimate and heartwarming moments with Blanco, including a gushing birthday tribute to him alongside snaps of the couple enjoying a sunny drive. Her focus remains on her music and her relationship with Benny, which she made public in December 2023. Nearly a year later, the couple announced their engagement.
Speculations of animosity between Hailey and Selena have been recurrent. In February 2023, a controversy arose when Hailey's TikTok video, in which she lip-synced to suspicious lyrics alongside Kendall Jenner and Justine Skye, added fuel to the fire. Fans speculated it was a dig at Gomez, prompting the video to be deleted and Hailey clarifying the post was unrelated to Selena.
Despite these controversies, Hailey remains focused on her ventures as the Rhode founder and her married life with Justin.
