In a surprising twist, it appears that Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber are backpedaling on their assertions of "no bad blood," as evidenced by a recent development that has left their fans baffled. Amid Justin Bieber's emotional turmoil, Hailey, Justin's wife, and Selena, his ex-girlfriend, have mutually unfollowed each other on Instagram, seemingly reversing their earlier claims of amicable relations.
Eagle-eyed fans have taken notice of this silent shift, sparking theories that despite their repeated attempts to present a united front, the two women never truly reconciled their differences. For years, both the star of "Only Murders in the Building" and the former Rhode owner steadfastly denied any rift, insisting that their bond remained unbroken.
The drama, which has captivated Hollywood, traces back to Selena's tumultuous dating history with Justin. The former young "IT" couple's on-again, off-again relationship spanned from 2010 to 2018, ultimately culminating in their breakup. Roughly six months later, Justin tied the knot with Hailey, who was then 28 years old.
In an attempt to quell rumors that their friendship had suffered due to Justin, 31, Selena and Hailey posed together for a picture in 2022. By 2023, they had even followed each other on social media, fueling hopes that they had buried the hatchet.
However, the recent unfollows have cast significant doubt on that truce. What was once perceived as a mutual show of support has now descended into an uneasy silence, prompting fans to speculate that the "fake bubble" of their friendship may have finally burst.
