Hailey Bieber denies that she ‘stole’ Justin Bieber from Selena Gomez and has spoken to her: ‘We’re good’

Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin) said that there is no drama between herself and Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez.

Hailey and Justin got engaged in July 2018, months after the “Love Yourself” singer ended his on-off-romance with Gomez.

Due to the short amount of time between the relationships, fans speculated at the time whether Bieber cheated on Gomez and sent vicious messages to Hailey Bieber as a result.

During her appearance on the latest episode of “Call Her Daddy,” Hailey said that she would have never dated Justin if he was still in a relationship.

“It’s not my character to mess with someone’s relationship. I would just never do that. I was raised better than that,” the 25-year-old model said. “Like, I can say, period, point-blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody. That’s the end of it, and I had been involved with him since I was 18.”

Hailey went on to say that she thinks the reason fans have a hard time processing her marriage to Justin is because of the perception that she “stole him” from Gomez or from fans who love him.

“Perception is a really tricky thing because when you’re watching something from the outside, you can see it one way,” she added. “When it may not really be the reality of what happened behind closed doors and that’s a big challenge.”

Later on in the interview, Hailey confirmed that she has spoken to Gomez since getting married to Justin in 2018 and they do not have any issues with each other.

“So, that’s why I’m like, it’s all respect, it’s all love,” Hailey said. “That’s also why I feel like if everybody on our side knows what happened and we’re good and we could walk away from it with clarity and respect, then that’s fine. Which had brought me a lot of peace and I’m like, ‘Hey, we know what happened.’”

Hailey added that she hopes Gomez’s fans have “respect” for her and stop commenting on her relationship.

In the past, Hailey, Justin, and Gomez have attempted to rein in trolls sending messages to the married couple.

In 2019, Gomez shared a now-deleted video asking fans to stop attacking Hailey online, after fans speculated that the model posted a song entitled “I’ll Kill You” aimed at Gomez.

“I do not stand for women tearing women down and I will never ever be by that,” Gomez said in the video. “So please be kind to everyone. It doesn’t matter what the situation is, if you’re my fans, don’t be rude to anybody.”

Earlier this year, Hailey also told trolls on TikTok to “leave her alone” in regards to her marriage.

“Enough time has gone by where it’s valid to leave me alone,” she said. “I beg of you, truly, that’s my only request. Leave me alone. Be miserable somewhere else, please.”
