Hailey Bieber finally addresses the drama surrounding her marriage to Justin Bieber, which includes claims she stole Justin from his ex, Selena Gomez.
Celebrities struggle through relationships just like anyone else. Dealing with criticisms might be even harder for someone famous. Not only is your dating/marriage life under a microscope, but also the nature of fame might change how you view each other and act in relationships. That’s the reality Hailey Bieber has had to deal with since she married Justin Bieber. The 25-year-old model is now opening up about claims that she stole her husband from his ex, Selena Gomez.
In a teaser for Call Her Daddy released on Tuesday, Hailey Bieber acknowledged rumors of overlap between her and Selena Gomez. In a point-blank fashion, host Alex Cooper asked Hailey if her relationship with the singer ever overlapped his with Gomez.
“Your husband was in a very public relationship. People were obsessed with Justin and Selena being together. Were you ever with Justin romantically at the same as her?” Cooper asked her.
Hailey responded, “This is so crazy. I’ve literally never talked about this ever. A lot of the hate and perpetuation comes from like, ‘Oh, you stole him.’ It’s about people knowing the truth because there’s a truth.”
Cooper continued, “How has being married to someone with that level of fame impacted your identity?” Hailey smiled and rhetorically asked, “Where do I start?”
The Call Her Daddy episode drops on Wednesday, and it will be the first time Hailey publicly addresses the speculations. Here is how the podcast promoted Hailey Bieber’s interview on social media: “Hailey Bieber opens up about the public-generated controversy between her and her husband’s ex. Hailey makes it clear she wants to discuss this one time and one time only … on Call Her Daddy.”
Hailey and Justin started dating around 2016. Justin confirmed their relationship in a GQ interview the same year after posting a photo of them kissing on Instagram. However, Hailey asserted that they weren’t an exclusive couple. Everything seemed a bit complicated for the two, especially with Justin’s highly publicized relationship with Selena. Justin and Selena had been dating on and off since 2010. Justin broke up with Selena, then dated Hailey; he then broke up with Hailey and dated Selena and ultimately went back to dating Hailey, whom he eventually married in 2018. As a result, fans blamed Hailey for Justin and Selena’s breakup.
Nevertheless, the world will finally hear Hailey’s side of the story on Wednesday, 28 September, when her episode of Call Her Daddy drops.
