Selena Gomez "shows her cards" with Justin Bieber's wife, starting a new war?

The complicated and tumultuous relationship between Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber , Justin Bieber's wife, has once again become the center of attention when both stars simultaneously unfollowed each other on Instagram.

The incident of Selena unfollowing Hailey happened on the night of June 19 (local time) and immediately "stormed" the internet, raising suspicions of a new rift, despite efforts to reconcile and appease public opinion over the years.

The "fake news" relationship flares up again

Previously, despite being constantly surrounded by rumors of discord and "not being on good terms" stemming from their love triangle with Justin Bieber, Hailey and Selena still followed each other on social media platforms, even occasionally liking each other's posts. However, the two suddenly stopped following each other, breaking that fragile "peace", pushing the relationship back to the hot spot of tension.

The much-publicized love story between Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber has spanned decades, starting from their teenage years to becoming two of Hollywood's most beloved stars. The "Jelena" couple had a love journey full of ups and downs, with breakups and reunions that kept fans hopeful. However, everything ended around 2018.

Just a short time after breaking up with Selena, Justin quickly moved on and married Hailey Baldwin. Therefore, this lightning marriage initially faced a wave of fierce opposition from a large part of the audience, who still regretted and supported the former Disney star.

Overcoming a series of rumors of a rift and harsh criticism from the public, Justin and Hailey are still together. Meanwhile, Selena Gomez has also found her own happiness with music producer Benny Blanco . The couple is engaged and preparing to get married, receiving the wholehearted blessings of fans.

Reconciliation efforts and hidden "signs" of tension

Although "Jelena" has been broken up for many years and all three have their own lives, the relationship between Hailey Bieber and "old rival" Selena Gomez is still said to be secretly seething. The female model is often criticized by netizens for being "mean" and "petty" towards her husband's ex-girlfriend, based on small signs or actions that are scrutinized by fans.

A rare bright spot in this relationship was in 2022, when Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez unexpectedly quelled persistent rumors of conflict over Justin Bieber with a close photo taken together at the gala of the Motion Picture Academy Museum in Los Angeles (USA).

This historic moment made fans "burst" and believe that all conflicts had been resolved. Selena Gomez later publicly called on fans to stop attacking Hailey Bieber and showed her solidarity with Justin Bieber's wife by following the female model on Instagram.

It seemed like everything was fine, the relationship between the two beauties still showed positive signs. In December 2024, Hailey Bieber liked Selena Gomez's post celebrating her engagement to Benny Blanco. In May 2025, Selena also responded positively when Sephora announced the launch of a series of Rhode products - Hailey's beauty brand.

Notably, Sephora is also the distributor for Rare Beauty, Selena's very successful beauty brand. These actions are seen as an effort from both sides to maintain harmony and show mutual support in work.

The reason for the sudden "breakup" with social networks?

However, after many times showing support and explaining misunderstandings, Selena and Hailey still showed their "face-to-face" attitude towards each other, culminating in this unfollowing move. What caused this seemingly "peaceful" relationship to become tense?

While both have remained silent, speculation is rife. One of the most recent rumors that could have sparked the incident was last month when Selena Gomez was rumored to have been dissing Hailey after Rhodes, the model's brand, struck a $1 billion deal with Elf Cosmetics.

Although this is just speculation and there is no concrete evidence, in the context of an inherently sensitive relationship, any action or word can be exaggerated and interpreted negatively by fans of both sides, leading to unnecessary tension.

The secret "cold war" between Selena and Hailey's fans has never really ended. Every move of either of them is closely "scrutinized" and analyzed by millions of fans around the world. This creates a huge pressure on both Justin Bieber's ex and his current wife, making it difficult for them to maintain a truly normal relationship.

Unfollowing each other on social media can be a move to cut ties to avoid unnecessary trouble and pressure from the public, allowing both of you to focus on your own lives and careers without being dominated by gossip.
