Model Hailey Bieber has stirred up speculation of a rift with singer Selena Gomez with her recent social media post.
Taking to her Instastory, Bieber shared a photo of Beyoncé’s new cover of Dolly Parton’s hit song “Jolene.” Alongside the image, she wrote “whew,” seemingly resonating with the themes of infidelity and “manstealing” addressed in the song. Fans of Gomez quickly interpreted the comment as a subtle jab at her, considering her past relationship with Bieber’s husband, Justin Bieber.
The dynamic between Gomez and Bieber has long been a subject of scrutiny, particularly since they were involved in a love triangle with Justin Bieber. Fans have often compared and contrasted the two, with accusations that Bieber frequently emulates Gomez, including her romantic relationships. Last year, Gomez attempted to quell the feud rumors by urging her fans to stop harassing Bieber online. Bieber, in turn, expressed gratitude to Gomez for speaking out, acknowledging the difficulties she faced due to online bullying.
This year, Bieber faced further speculation about her marriage after her father, Stephen Baldwin, requested prayers for the couple, adding to the ongoing scrutiny surrounding their relationship.
