Hailey Baldwin, wife of pop star Justin Bieber, is trending on Twitter after users discovered that she had liked a TikTok video subtly criticizing Selena Gomez and her partner, Benny Blanco. The incident has reignited online discussions about past tensions between her and Gomez, despite both publicly denying any animosity.
The controversy stems from a video posted by content creator Courtney Presto, which analyzed a set of photos and suggested they were intended to spark reactions. Hailey’s engagement with the post has drawn backlash, particularly since she previously sought Gomez’s support in addressing social media hostility.
This latest development follows a long history of speculation surrounding their relationship. Gomez and Hailey, who were both introduced to Justin Bieber in 2009, have been linked in an ongoing narrative fueled by their connections to the singer. Gomez and Bieber publicly dated from 2010 to 2018, with several breakups in between. Shortly after their final split, Justin Bieber married Hailey, leading to persistent comparisons between the two women.
In recent years, both Hailey and Gomez have attempted to dispel rumors of rivalry. In 2022, Hailey stated in an interview that there was “no drama” between them, adding that they had spoken after her wedding. Weeks later, they posed for photos together at an event, seemingly putting feud speculations to rest.
Despite these efforts, online tensions have resurfaced periodically. In early 2023, Gomez defended Hailey against online hate after a separate social media incident involving Kylie Jenner. However, Hailey’s latest social media activity has reignited debate, with Twitter users questioning her past and present interactions related to Gomez.
As the discourse continues to gain traction online, neither Hailey nor Gomez has publicly addressed the latest controversy.
