Hailey Bieber is celebrating with Selena Gomez on her engagement. The model took fans unawares as she “liked” Gomez’s social media post announcing her engagement with music producer Benny Blanco. This comes amidst a frosty relationship that has existed between the two for some years now. Here, we’d learn why Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez haven’t gotten along for some time now.
It’s a happy time for actress and singer Selena Gomez as her boyfriend took their relationship to the next level. Benny Blanco finally popped the question to the Emilia Pérez star on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. The proposal came just a little over a year after he and the multiple-award-winning entertainer confirmed their romance on December 7, 2023.
Gomez broke the news on social media, posting a delicious photo carousel on her Instagram page. The album contained a close-up shot of her marquise diamond ring. It also included a photo of the singer and Blanco in an affectionate pose. Blanco responded to the post with a lovely but playful message that read, “Hey wait … that’s my wife.”
Fans were also excited to see the photo showing the proposal set, which included many boxes of the singer’s favorite Taco Bell and a beige picnic blanket. Gomez captioned the post, “Forever begins now…” As expected, the post attracted comments and congratulatory messages from many fans and industry figures, including Hailey Bieber’s reaction. Although subtle, it stood out the most.

An Update on the Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber Drama
There have been speculations about bad blood between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez for some years now. But there have been several notable back-and-forths between the two in 2024. The 2024 Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber drama began as early as January 9 when Hailey seemed to “shade” Gomez on social media.
In a deleted TikTok post, Hailey Bieber and her friends were seen in a video lip-syncing to “I’m not saying she deserved it, but God’s timing is always right.” Fans believed this was in response to Gomez’s recent experience of being body-shamed. Gomez drew some ridicule over her vacation photos that circulated at the time.
In February, fans accused Selena Gomez of fighting Hailey Bieber after the singer reacted to a suspicious number of posts that called out Hailey for alleged bullying. She also commented “I love you” on a video of one of her fans who lashed out at “mean girls coming at [Selena’s] fucking throat.”
Later in February, Hailey Bieber caused quite a stir as she used a solo version of “Calm Down” by Rema instead of the one with Gomez for her Instagram post. Fans interpreted it as a move to slight Gomez.
Are Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez Friends Now?
Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez seemed to have calmed the tension between them earlier in the year. On March 24, 2024, Gomez announced on social media that Hailey Bieber had gotten across to her. During the conversation, according to the singer, Hailey complained about receiving death threats.
Gomez expressed her alarm and condemned the situation in the post. She also stated that she wanted “this all to stop.” In her words,” No one should have to experience hate or bullying. I’ve always advocated for kindness,” she added.
Impressed by Gomez’s post, Hailey responded with a statement. “I want to thank Selena for speaking out, as her and I have been discussing the last few weeks how to move past this ongoing narrative between her and I.”

The Love Triangle Between Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez
There’s no complete story about Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez without mentioning Justin Bieber. The RnB singer is the third party in the popular love triangle. It all began in 2009 when Justin met both women. But it was Gomez who first swept Justin off his feet. The pair announced that they were in a relationship in February 2011.
Interestingly, Hailey Bieber once stated that she was a big fan of Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez’s relationship. But she stepped in after Justin and Gomez’s second breakup in November 2014. Although Hailey and Justin initially denied the rumors, they gave themselves away while sharing a passionate kiss on 2015’s New Year’s Eve.
On January 4, 2016, a presumably angry Selena Gomez said she didn’t want to speak about her ex-boyfriend anymore. “Honestly, what I would love to be printed is that I am so beyond done with talking about that (referring to Justin Bieber’s 2015 musical serenade), and him,” she stated in a Rolling Stone interview.
The On-and-Offs Continue
Selena Gomez’s fans were shocked to see her reunite with Justin after he and Hailey ended things that same year. They both confirmed that they were back together in March 2018.
Things got even more interesting in the Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, and Selena Gomez drama after Justin and Selena “decided to take a break.” Then Justin and Hailey rekindled their love and romantic relationship. Fast-forward to 2024, Gomez has said “yes” to her new lover, and Hailey has sent her blessings.
But fans may not be down for the hatchet burying ceremony. Some suspected Hailey Bieber’s fans were seen trolling Selena Gomez’s engagement announcement despite Hailey’s show of support. From the look of things, the war between both camps is far from over.
