The famous triangle of Selena Gomez - Justin Bieber - Hailey Bieber still keep fans of the trio on their toes. Gossip and scandals revolve around them. However, the most intriguing aspect remains the ongoing rivalry and competition between Hailey and Selena. Fans have discovered numerous interesting coincidences and have even started suspecting the model of stalking. We've compiled a selection of interesting facts for you, from which you can draw your own conclusions about this unusual rivalry.

1. The beginning of the romance between Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber

Selena and Justin first met in 2010, when they were 16 and 17 years old, respectively. They were introduced by their managers. Perhaps initially, their relationship was intended to be a good publicity move. However, soon enough, Justin and Selena developed genuine feelings for each other. The couple kept their relationship hidden for a while, but fans caught glimpses of them sharing kisses and hugs. It was at the 2011 Oscars that 'Jelena,' as fans dubbed the couple, officially confirmed their romance for the first time.

2. Disagreements and Conflicts in the Relationship

Soon, problems started arising in their relationship. One of Bieber's fans claimed to be pregnant with his child, which turned out to be completely false. Selena never doubted that this was a lie. However, by May 2012, rumors of their breakup began to circulate. Since then, the topic of 'Jelena' has been a rollercoaster, sometimes heating up and then fading away. The media occasionally spots the stars together on vacations and outings. They themselves fuel the interest by sharing joint photos on Instagram. As a result, fans suspect that the couple got together and separated more than once.

3. The Origin of the Feud Between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber

According to numerous reports, starting in 2014, Bieber began cheating on Selena with Hailey, who was Baldwin at the time. Their relationship ended in 2017 due to this, and in 2018, Bieber and Baldwin got married. Fans are convinced that Hailey stole Justin from Selena. After this ordeal, the singer's mental health took a toll. However, neither of the girls confirmed nor denied the rumors of conflict and betrayal.

4. Prehistory. Team #Jelena

In 2010, when Selena and Justin's romance was blossoming, Hailey stated on social media that she was a fan of theirs and adored the couple. She declared that the singers were 100% a team and added the hashtag Jelena (that's how fans referred to the pairing of their idols - Justin and Selena). Following this, she frequently posted tweets expressing her enthusiasm for the couple.

5. Hailey and Justin's Meeting

The first meeting between Justin and Hailey took place at the premiere of the movie 'Never Say Never' - a film about Justin's life. Hailey was 14 years old, and Justin was 16. At the time, she was a huge fan of the musician Shean and probably couldn't have imagined that she would marry him ten years later. These moments later became archival and even appeared in a touching music video, where the girl's father, Stephen Baldwin, introduces the teenagers. However, no romance sparked at that time, and later Justin entered a relationship with Selena Gomez. Nevertheless, the couple faced a crisis, and in 2014, a few months before another breakup with Selena, Bieber was spotted attending church services with his close friends Hailey Baldwin and Kendall Jenner. In 2017, fans learned that Hailey and Justin secretly spent New Year's together, and a few months later, they even got matching tattoos. In 2018, they got married.

6. The Drama Takes a New Turn

It might have seemed that after the final breakup and Bieber's marriage to Baldwin, the story with Selena should have faded into the past, but that wasn't the case. Selena struggled heavily with the breakup and even took a pause in her solo career. Additionally, she faced serious health issues - her lupus autoimmune disease worsened under the strain of stress. Furthermore, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. After extensive treatment, the singer eventually made a comeback to the stage and released a song dedicated to her relationship with Bieber, titled 'Lose You To Love Me'. Following the song's premiere, Hailey Bieber decided to respond with a track of her own, posting the song 'I'll Kill You' on her social media page. Hailey's followers and Selena's fans immediately connected the dots and began directing a wave of hate towards Bieber's wife. However, Gomez stepped in to defend her rival and asked people to stop the hate towards her.

7. The Like from Hailey

In August 2021, Selena Gomez appeared on the cover of ELLE magazine, which she later shared on her Instagram. Everything would have been fine, except Hailey liked this post. Fans, of course, noticed it, but neither Hailey nor Selena commented on this gesture. However, fans did take note of this moment, even though neither Hailey nor Selena acknowledged it.

8. Hailey and Selena—Friends?

In September 2022, Hailey gave an interview for the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she commented for the first time on her role in the love triangle. According to Hailey, her relationship with Justin started when he was already single. 'It's not my character to ruin someone else's relationship. I would never do that. I was raised well,' summed up Hailey Bieber. She also commented on the breakup of Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber. In her opinion, they made the right decision. She also mentioned that she has no conflicts with Selena and that they have a good relationship.

9. Photo together

In the same year, 2022, Hailey and Selena took a photo together. The girls embrace and smile sweetly. It seems like all the conflicts and misunderstandings are in the past, as if a friendship might even be budding between them. All the fans are glad that they've finally reconciled and forgiven each other for all the offenses. However, as it turned out later, this was just the beginning of a new wave of tension between them.

10. Hailey's friends

In January 2023, Hailey posted a TikTok video where she was hanging out with her friends Kendall Jenner and Justine Skye. The girls dance to the sound 'I'm not saying she deserved it, but God's timing is always right.' And then, everyone jumps in, as in the same month, Selena posted a bikini photo where she appears slightly heavier than usual. Fans connected these dots and concluded that the model, along with her friends, was throwing shade at the singer. Hailey tried to defend herself and address the accusations, but her followers didn't believe her. On the other hand, Selena wrote a post stating that she's not bothered by it and doesn't allow such things to sadden her.

11. Selena's Eyebrows

In February 2023, Selena posted a photo of her over-plucked eyebrows and wrote that she might have groomed them a bit too vigorously. Following this, Hailey's friend Kylie Jenner posted a photo of her own eyebrows with an uneven look and added the caption, 'Was this accidental??. But the eyebrow story didn't stop there. Kylie, along with Hailey, posted a screenshot of their FaceTime conversation, where their eyebrows were seen up close. Naturally, hate comments started pouring in. Followers pointed out that such behavior was very cruel and unfair. Kylie responded, claiming it was purely coincidental and that she hadn't even seen Selena's video. Suddenly, Selena Gomez herself replied to Kylie's comment, expressing her trust in her and even stating that she considers herself a fan of Kylie. Fans were in shock.

12. Selena Gomez Defending Her Friend Taylor Swift 

Later, an old video surfaced on the internet where the model was mocking Taylor Swift's music. A few years ago, Justin Bieber's wife was a co-host on the American show 'Drop the Mic', where celebrities engaged in rap battles in front of a live audience. When the conversation turned to Taylor Swift's album 'Reputation', Hailey feigned boredom. This controversial clip didn't go unnoticed by Selena Gomez, who has been friends with Taylor Swift for many years. She didn't stay silent and stood up for the singer. 'Sorry, but my close friend has been and remains one of the best in the game,' she wrote under the video.

13. Loss of Followers

After the incidents involving the eyebrows and Taylor Swift, many people started unfollowing Hailey Bieber on social media, while Selena gained several million new followers. Before this, Hailey had a sizable following among celebrities. However, due to these unpleasant incidents, Selena surpassed her in popularity. This deeply affected Hailey, and she hid her follower count from public view. Additionally, she reportedly hired bots to artificially increase her follower count.

14. Social Media Detox

As a result, Selena Gomez became the most followed person on Instagram. However, this didn't please her, and she decided to take a break and step away from social media for a while. She announced this decision on her Twitter account. Surprisingly, Justin Bieber's mother liked Selena's tweet, only to later remove her like. Following this, Selena tweeted that hating on someone is distasteful, and it's not worth being ugly.

15. Is Hailey a Crazy Fan?

Fans didn't stop and began comparing facts, finding intriguing details about Hailey's obsession not with Bieber but with Selena! It turns out that the model is a fervent fan of the singer, so much so that she tries to constantly emulate her. Selena's supporters discovered an interview in which the singer, when asked about what she wants people to know about her, replied that it's her heart. Selena mentioned this response multiple times. Later, fans found an interview with Hailey in which she precisely repeated Selena's answer to a similar question.

16. Identical Videos on Social Media

Once, Selena posted a video on her page where she talked about the importance of being kind to oneself, respecting oneself, and valuing oneself. She mentioned that loving oneself is about the value and quality of life one leads. Exactly a month later, Hailey posted the exact same video on her own page, emphasizing the importance of being kind to oneself.

17. Similar Shows

Selena has a strong passion for cooking, which is her hobby. Perhaps if she hadn't chosen a creative path and the stage, she could have pursued a career as a chef and even opened her own restaurant. This news didn't go unnoticed by her devoted fan, Hailey Bieber. Later on, Hailey created a similar show where she also showcased her cooking skills. It's worth noting that Selena cooks in her own kitchen at home, and accordingly, Hailey also cooks in her own kitchen.

18. Hailey's Jar vs Selena's Jar

Another video that fans came across and that later went viral was related to Selena's culinary show. In one of the episodes, the singer placed a jar on the table, into which she would put money every time she said her catchphrase, 'okey-dokey.' While Hailey didn't have a jar, the idea of two similar shows didn't go unnoticed by fans. They appreciated Selena's concept and created their own video with tip jars. One had Selena's name written on it, and the other had Hailey's. As a result, Hailey's jar remained empty.

19. Justin Bieber's love for Selena and Hailey

In his interviews, he always spoke very warmly about his ex. When asked how he fell in love with Selena, he always spoke very fondly of her, noting that she is a very kind and caring person who holds a special place in his heart. However, when he was already with Hailey and was asked the same question, he hesitated, and then he squeezed out that he actually didn't know.

20. Identical Tattoos

Fans also noticed a small "g" tattoo behind Hailey's left ear. As you might have guessed, Selena has the same tattoo in honor of her younger sister, Gracie, whose name starts with the letter "g." While Bieber's wife never fully explained the significance of her "g" tattoo and why she chose to get it on her body, the similarities between their tattoos have sparked discussions among their followers.

21. Symbolic Ring

At one point, Justin Bieber gifted Selena a ring with the letter "g" and a star, which she often wore on her ring finger. Hailey didn't acquire the same ring, but she did something even more significant: she got a tattoo of a similar letter and star on her own ring finger. Coincidence? I don't think so. The deliberate choices and actions seem to suggest a deeper connection and emulation between the two.

22. Ultimate Friend

It's known that Selena has many friends who always support her and with whom she spends time. On one occasion, she wrote a whole post dedicated to her friends and emphasized how happy she was to have them in her life. The next day, Hailey posted a photo with Justin and captioned it ambiguously, stating that he is her ultimate friend. This seemed to be another instance where Hailey's actions echoed Selena's, leading to further speculation among fans about the dynamics between the two.

23. Instagram Battle

It has been noticed multiple times how Hailey actively copies everything her rival does on social media. According to Selena's fans, the model closely watches Justin's ex-girlfriend and quickly replicates similar posts and actions on social media and in real life. As soon as Selena posted her cute childhood photo with a heartfelt caption, Hailey didn't wait long and did the same. She posted her own childhood photo and referred to herself as a sweet girl.

24. Highlighter. Whose is brighter?

Selena Gomez often does makeup in front of her fans on camera. She shares her beauty secrets and makeup application hacks. Once, she mentioned that she loves highlighter and demonstrated how she applies it to her face to make it shine. A few days later, Hailey replicated the makeup application, and of course, she also emphasized how she applied her highlighter to make it shine on her face.

25. The same hobby

Fans tend to believe that Hailey even copies her rival's favorite hobbies. When Justin was dating Selena, the paparazzi often caught them riding bicycles together. The couple laughed, goofed around, and simply enjoyed cycling. Selena's fans are convinced that Hailey wouldn't have taken up this hobby of her husband's if she didn't know that Selena also loves biking. This observation further fuels the narrative of Hailey imitating Selena in various aspects of her life.

26. Stolen Style

Hailey Bieber has repeatedly copied Selena Gomez's outfits. Fans often notice similar looks, styles, and brands that the singer prefers. Hailey tries to closely replicate and recreate the image of her idol, whom she seems to actively follow. She replicated both evening looks and casual outfits that the singer appeared in public wearing. Selena's fans have counted dozens of such copied looks.

27. Attention to Details

Justin Bieber's wife pays meticulous attention, even to the details related to Selena. Her attentiveness is quite admirable, as she manages to notice not only new looks and interesting ideas but also gestures. The model not only replicates the former's outfits and tattoos but also copies her gestures. Specifically, Bieber's wife was quite taken with a hand gesture that Selena occasionally makes in her makeup tutorial videos. Without hesitation, Hailey also decided to replicate this gesture in her own video posts where she does makeup.

28. Likes from Mrs. Bieber

Hailey Bieber once liked a post featuring Selena's cover, and for a while, she wasn't seen liking posts by her rival. However, sometime later, fans noticed that she started actively liking Selena's makeup looks and outfits, and she didn't hide it at all. It's likely that she's even keeping track so as not to miss any details and possibly replicate those looks in the near future. This pattern of behavior adds to the speculation that Hailey is intentionally emulating Selena's choices and style.

29. One Manicurist for Two

As soon as Hailey found out who Selena has been getting her manicures done by for years, she immediately booked an appointment with the same manicurist. And not only that—she shamelessly announced it on her social media page. She mentioned that now her manicure is perfect and even gave a shoutout to her new manicurist in her story. This instance further illustrates Hailey's tendency to closely follow Selena's choices and incorporate them into her own lifestyle.

30. Britney Spears

On one of the shows, Selena confessed that she was a huge fan of Britney Spears' music and that she bought Britney's album when she was young. According to Selena, this album was her first-ever purchased album. It probably won't surprise you that after this statement, Hailey also shared on her social media page that she's a big fan of Britney too, and Britney's album was the first one she bought in her life.

31. The same thoughts? 

More and more often, Selena's fans caught Hailey in the act of actively stealing entire phrases and pieces from her rival's interviews. For instance, during the release of one of her songs, Selena stated that people often retell her own life story to her, as if they know it better than she does. Precisely these words were repeated by Hailey in another interview after Selena's words.

32. Next to Selena's friends

It seems that Hailey Bieber has studied the inner circle of her rival quite well. Thus, she tries in every way to capture their attention. Currently, Hailey's efforts are only successful in actively monitoring Selena's close circle on social media, especially her closest friends: Ashley Cook, Courtney Lopez, and Rachel Stevens. Additionally, Hailey, along with her own friends, often hangs out in places frequented by the girls and visits their favorite establishments.

33. Family Recipes

As we mentioned earlier, Hailey borrowed a culinary show idea from Selena, and besides that, she took another interesting concept from her rival's show. Selena introduced an intriguing segment to her show: she started inviting her family members and cooking their family recipes, which were unique to their family alone. This approach greatly appealed to her followers and added to the show's popularity. Following suit, a similar segment appeared on Hailey's show. Just like the singer, she began inviting her relatives to cook their family recipes with her.

34. Beauty brands

Both celebrities are entrepreneurs and actively engage in their business activities. Interestingly, both of them have their own beauty brands. Once Hailey learned about her former Bieber's successful cosmetic brand, she promptly founded her own. It's worth noting that both brands are successful and actively compete with each other. Selena's brand is named Rare Beauty, while Hailey Bieber's brand is named Rhode.

35. Charity 

Selena Gomez is actively involved in philanthropic activities. She is a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and, in 2009, became the youngest member in the history of the foundation. Later, the singer established her own charitable foundation that helps people dealing with mental health issues. Following in Selena's footsteps, Hailey also created her own charitable foundation based on her cosmetic brand, called the Rhode Futures Foundation. It assists women of color, transgender individuals, and non-binary people in pursuing their futures. Similar to Selena, Hailey donates 1% of her cosmetic brand's earnings to her foundation's charitable efforts.

36. Insincerity

Fans accuse the model of insincerity and hypocrisy. They assert that Hailey Bieber has never been seen at charitable events, while Selena is frequently present at such gatherings and actively helps people. While Selena genuinely engages in charitable work, Hailey is perceived as merely feigning philanthropy and prioritizing her own popularity.

37. Ignoring

Social media users are now expressing the opinion that Hailey Bieber experienced disrespect during the Oscars in 2023. A video has emerged showing several attendees walking behind the model on the red carpet, inadvertently disrupting her paparazzi shots. Some individuals are suggesting that this situation might be considered "karma," possibly due to her previous alleged actions of subtly criticizing Selena Gomez in February. The video's caption reads, "Hailey is getting her karma, and I am living for it." However, it's important to note that a similar incident occurred with Lily James on the same red carpet. A TikTok video from Vogue Germany demonstrates various individuals passing by the actress as she attempts to pose for the cameras.

38. Working on Self-Esteem

Selena has also shared her journey to improve her self-esteem and body image. Later, Hailey also opened up about her personal experience with self-improvement and body acceptance, claiming she actively worked on them. However, she mentioned that this struggle and journey lasted until she was 24 years old, whereas Selena's self-improvement journey concluded at 19.

39. Fans are writing to Bieber's mother

Fans have taken their actions a step further after discovering and compiling various facts and evidence regarding Hailey's potential mistreatment. Following this, Selena's fans began reaching out to Justin Bieber's mother, Pattie Mallette. They attempted to convey to her that her son may have made the wrong choice and that his current wife is in the wrong compared to his former flame.

40. Fans reached out to Justin Bieber

Selena's fans didn't spare her former flame either. They began actively messaging him about how his wife was causing unrest for the singer and constantly emulating her. Meanwhile, they pointed out that Hailey's behavior is quite peculiar since, despite everything, he did choose her, and his relationship with Selena is in the past. Consequently, Hailey should let go of the situation, move on from Selena, and simply live her life, relishing in her triumph. Yet for some reason, she seems unwilling to do so…

41. Drama brakes

Hailey found it difficult to cope with the hate, so she limited access to comments and reduced her active presence on TikTok. Similarly, she took similar steps on Instagram and began sharing only Vogue covers featuring her own image. Despite these efforts, it didn't entirely deter the haters, who found new ways to provoke the model. According to their perspective, they are supporting Selena and defending her from negativity from Hailey by using these tactics.

42. Repost a song

For a while, Hailey refrained from making many posts, primarily sharing her beauty products. Of course, fans noticed this and even concluded that the situation was changing, speculating that Hailey might have decided to move on from her rival. However, she couldn't maintain this approach for long. Eventually, she reposted the original version of the song Calm Down, for which a remix had previously been performed by Selena Gomez.

43. Milk Products

Both celebrity cosmetic brands frequently introduce new products that are natural. However, recently, Selena launched a line of cosmetics based on milk. After a while, Bieber's wife actively started promoting her makeup products, also based on... milk. She even enlisted well-known individuals to promote her new product in their stories. Of course, Selena's fans couldn't help but notice such news.

44. Supporting

After the milk-based product situation, a real war erupted between Hailey and Selena's fans. They actively posted about their favorite brands while demonstratively criticizing or discarding products from the opposing side. The most significant support seemed to align with Selena. Other celebrities joined in as well, using her cosmetics on camera, and some even played her songs in the background of their stories.

45. Bullying Hailey

Hailey Bieber found herself at the center of a loud scandal, all due to her behavior and trolling of Selena Gomez. Fans decided to respond to her actions. On the red carpet of the Met Gala, where Hailey arrived with Justin, Selena's fans began insulting Hailey and then started chanting Selena's name. Bieber's wife ended up in tears and even put on dark glasses to hide her emotions.

46. Threats

However, Selena's fans didn't stop there and began sending threats to Hailey, even going as far as making death threats. Bieber's wife even posted a story expressing her concerns for her own life. Selena responded to this by asking her own fans to stop bullying Hailey and making threats towards her. She emphasized that no one should succumb to threats and harassment, urging this behavior to be stopped immediately.

47. Bieber's Reaction

Justin attempted to maintain neutrality. He didn't engage in the rivalry and refrained from commenting on everything happening between his former and current partners. However, when he saw an unfamiliar girl encouraging bullying of Hailey in the comments under his wife's posts, he responded immediately. He shared a video of the hater and stated that he wouldn't let this video steal his joy. He also highlighted that the girl who permitted herself to encourage bullying holds no significance. He emphasized that life is fulfilling when you're in a positive place and value people. On the other hand, a life characterized by bullying results in a lack of true friends and genuine happiness.

48. About the Hate

Later, Hailey Bieber shared in an interview with ELLE that she had grown tired of the hate and felt that people were nitpicking at her. According to her, a significant amount of time has passed; she's been married to Justin for a while, and it's time to let go of this history since she didn't break anyone's relationship. She also mentioned that she simply wants to live peacefully and dreams of being free from bullying, hoping that she and her husband can just live their lives without interference.

49. Was there a scandal?

According to journalist Lucy Morgan, the entire story between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber is simply blown out of proportion, as it mostly unfolds on TikTok, which is an ideal space for spreading fan theories. Supposedly, fans have created the images of the "villain" and the "victim" and have begun observing them as if watching a TV series. In reality, there is no rivalry between the two girls anymore, and they are living their own lives.

50. Stalker. To be continued... 

However, Selena Gomez's fans hold a different belief. In their perspective, this story is not yet concluded, as they think that Justin will eventually divorce Hailey since he never truly loved her. According to them, his public behavior toward her is indicative of that. They also believe that Hailey will continue to provoke and hate Selena because, in the fans' view, Hailey exhibits all the signs of a stalker, someone who idolizes and simultaneously hates their idol, thus relentlessly pursuing Selena and copying her. Well, time will tell…
