It’s not every day you see two women with a history like Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber sharing a moment of subtle unity—but that’s exactly what fans noticed this week.

While social media was busy dragging Justin Bieber for his strange backhanded compliment to his wife, Selena surprised everyone with a small but powerful gesture.

A Complicated Triangle Resurfaces Online

Selena, 32, and Hailey, 28, have often been placed on opposite sides of a long-running celebrity love triangle, thanks to their shared romantic history with Justin Bieber, now 31.

But instead of fueling more drama, Selena did something unexpected—she liked Sephora’s Instagram post about Hailey’s Rhode skincare line joining the beauty giant’s shelves this fall.

The move didn’t go unnoticed. It came just one day after Justin made headlines for all the wrong reasons when he posted what many saw as a tone-deaf tribute to Hailey’s big Vogue magazine cover.

Justin’s Congratulations Take a Cringe-Worthy Turn

To celebrate Hailey’s first Vogue cover, Justin shared the photo on Instagram—but his caption left fans stunned.

He wrote, “Yo, this reminds me [of] when Hailey and I got into a huge fight.

I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue. Yikes. I know, so mean.”

Instead of stopping there, he kept going, oversharing a personal anecdote that seemed more about him than Hailey.

“For some reason, because I felt disrespected, I thought, ‘I gotta get even,’” he admitted.

He tried to salvage the awkward post by turning it into a life lesson, writing, “I think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even… we’re just prolonging what we really want, which is intimacy and connection.”

He ended it with, “So baby… forgive me for saying you wouldn’t get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken.”

Fans Are Not Impressed—and They Let Him Know

The internet didn’t hold back. Justin’s 294 million followers swarmed the post with comments like:

“Justin, idk if this is how you say congrats to your wife lol.”
“Love Justin but FREE HAILEY.”
“You are slowly turning into Kanye West.”
“Who needs enemies when they have a husband like you?”

One user even compared the vibe to “that one Facebook friend who says ‘we fight like hell but it just makes us stronger.’”

Eventually, Justin caved to the pressure and edited the post down to a string of emojis, including a shrug and heart hands.

Behind the Scenes: A Cycle of Ups and Downs

According to a source close to the couple, this kind of drama is just part of how Justin and Hailey operate.

“Justin and Hailey get into fights, and Justin goes for the low hanging fruit to try to win arguments and make Hailey feel bad—and it works,” the insider told the Daily Mail.

Despite their love, the source added, “They’re often at each other’s throats.

Hailey’s been mad at him plenty of times and it will happen again and again.

She always comes around and forgives him.”

Apparently, this back-and-forth is nothing new. “The Justin we see now is the same one Hailey’s seen all along, and she feels like she can always fix him.

Good or bad, it’s a never-ending circle,” the insider explained.

A Love Story Built on Intensity and Drama

Their source went even deeper, describing the couple’s relationship as something out of a dramatic romance. “

Justin and Hailey treat their relationship like Romeo and Juliet—without the morbid ending.

They love hard, they fight hard, and drama often fuels their every move,” they revealed.

It’s an intense dynamic, but one Hailey seems to be used to.

Hailey Pokes Fun at Stalking Rumors in Vogue Segment

Meanwhile, Hailey’s Vogue spotlight included her appearance in the magazine’s “In The Bag?” YouTube series, where she gave fans a peek into her black Saint Laurent purse.

At one point, she jokingly pulled out multiple phones, saying, “These are a couple more I keep on me.”

With a smirk, she added, “I really just use them for simple stuff like surfing anonymously, commenting, stalking, viewing girls’ pages, making multiple accounts, you know… that kind of thing.”

The joke raised some eyebrows—especially since in April, Hailey was accused of mimicking Selena’s 2021 interview with Special Madame Figaro Arabia.

In her Daily Front Row award acceptance speech, Hailey said, “I didn’t want to start a brand just for the sake of starting a brand. I wanted to create an entire world.”

Selena had said something strikingly similar years earlier: “I didn’t want to launch a makeup line for the sake of launching a brand. What interests me is cultivating beauty from the inside.”

Old Rumors Continue to Linger Despite Peaceful Gestures

Feud rumors between Hailey and Selena have been swirling ever since Hailey married Justin in 2018. And while both women have made public attempts to shut the gossip down, the internet never seems ready to let it go.

But maybe—just maybe—Selena’s quiet Instagram like this week is another sign that not every headline has to lead to a wa
