Nobody would have expected these photos. Selena Gomez, 30, ex-girlfriend of Justin Bieber, 28, and Hailey Bieber, 25, the pop star’s wife, posed together at a gala at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles over the weekend. US media such as “E! News” shared the recordings on Twitter, among others.
Gomez and Bieber look very familiar in the footage. The two apparently sat next to each other at the table at dinner. As they posed for photographers, they hugged each other and laughed for the cameras.
For years there have been rumors that the singer and the model would not get along. Gomez’ fans in particular often criticized Hailey Bieber. She is said to have literally “stolen” Justin Bieber from Gomez, was the narrative of the fan base.
In September, Alec Baldwin’s (64) niece publicly commented on the allegations for the first time. Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she denied any allegations: “Once we started making out or anything like that, he was never in a relationship, at any point. […] It’s not my way, me to interfere in a relationship. I would never do that. I was raised better.”
Nevertheless, the 25-year-old had to continue to take nasty hate comments after her clarification. For her alleged competitor, that was an absolute no-go. “It’s not fair, no one should ever be spoken to in the way I’ve overheard,” Gomez said in a TikTok live stream.
Between 2010 and 2018, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were in an on-off relationship. A close friendship developed between Hailey Bieber and the musician from 2015, and they sometimes dated each other. In June 2018, Hailey and Justin Bieber finally got together and got engaged after a month, the wedding followed a little later.
