Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez dispelled years of allegations of hatred between the two coming from the latter’s marriage to Gomez’s ex-Justin Bieber by appearing in images together for the first time over the weekend.

At the 2022 Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday, the 30-year-old founder of Rare Beauty and the 25-year-old model posed side by side for images, setting up a social media frenzy (October 15). In a striking position, Gomez wore a black blazer suit while Bieber wore a red gown with a midriff-baring cutout.

They were requested to take a picture together because they were at the same event, the person claimed. “They decided to end the rumors once and for all after reaching an agreement. They wished to demonstrate that there is actually no animosity between them and that both of them are in excellent spirits. They seized the chance to put the commotion behind them at that precise moment.”

The site was also informed by a source close to Hailey and Justin Bieber that the former was “pleased they could crush any tension” and the latter is delighted to provide evidence that there “really is no ill will” between them.

The insider claimed that Hailey is relieved because this has been a burden on everyone’s shoulders for a long time. Despite the fact that Hailey and Selena don’t interact often, Hailey is eased to know that if they run into each other at gatherings, it won’t be uncomfortable or upsetting.

A few weeks ago, Bieber spoke candidly about her marriage to the “Peaches” singer and the online abuse she receives as a result of their relationship. She specifically mentioned those who accuse her of “stealing” him from Gomez. The unplanned photo shoot followed.
