Selena Gomez starts 2024 by liking shade for Justin Bieber, who has been married for 6 years, even though she claims to be happily in a relationship with Benny Blanco.
“Justin Bieber has had a big impact in your life, how would you say he’s the most influenced person that you are today.”
“I don’t think anybody cares”.
Selena’s relationship with Justin Bieber began during her Kiss & Tell days back in 2010, and the young couple would go on to date multiple times before calling it quits for good. Diehard Jelena fans weren’t happy with Justin when he began to see Hailey Bieber on-and-off during the periods of time when he wasn’t dating Selena.
The Internet looooves pitting Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber against each other, and has for years. There’s no denying that the back-and-forth got confusing (see: Justin and Selena’s relationship timeline as well as Justin and Hailey’s relationship timeline) but now that Justin and Hailey are officially married and have been for years, you’d think that the alleged drama would be over by now, right?
Four years after Justin and Hailey got married, Mrs. Bieber appeared on Alex’s Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast and publicly spoke about Selena Gomez for the very first time. Shortly after that, photographer Tyrell Hampton posted an Internet-breaking, viral photo of Selena and Hailey snuggled up in a close embrace, squashing rumors that the two mega-celebrities were still beefing over Justin all these years later… until the TikTok eyebrow drama began.
