Selena Gomez Subtly Shows Support for Hailey Bieber on Instagram

Hailey Bieber has had a big week with the release of her first extended interview since welcoming her son, Jack Blues, in Vogue. The model revealed in the piece that her beauty brand, Rhode, will be coming to Sephora this fall, saying, “In my wildest dreams, it’s already gone beyond what I would’ve hoped for.”

While her comments made headlines, her husband, Justin Bieber, posted an Instagram about her achievement that also drew some attention. In a since-edited caption, he revealed details about an argument they had where he told her that she would never land a Vogue cover. “Yikes I know, so mean,” he admitted. He went on to apologize for trying to “get even” with her during the fight and asked for her forgiveness for the comment because “clearly I was sadly mistaken.”

His remarks sparked a lot of discussion. But one person not engaging was Bieber’s ex Selena Gomez, who made a subtle move to celebrate Hailey’s career milestone. The singer liked Sephora’s Instagram post about the Rhode announcement:

Gomez also posted an unrelated Instagram Story, reminding everyone that they matter. “You know who you are, and I’m cheering you on,” Gomez wrote.

Gomez has publicly shown support for Hailey before, especially in 2023 when people on TikTok started dissecting Gomez and Hailey’s history. She followed Hailey on Instagram and shared an Instagram Story, asking people to stop harassing the model.

“Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity. This isn’t what I stand for,” Gomez wrote. “No one should have to experience hate or bullying. I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop. ♥️”

Hailey thanked Gomez for her support and later spoke about her disappointment that people pitted them against each other in the first place.

“I don’t like this whole idea of Team This Person and Team This Person,” she said on The Circuit With Emily Chang. “I’m just not about that. I want to be able to bring people together. I think that was a really important moment for people to see that you can do that. And you can bring people together and it doesn’t have to be about this divisive nature.”

The idea of two women “being pitted against each other because of a guy? It’s awful,” Hailey added. “I hate it. I’ve hated it since the beginning. And I think that kind of goes back to a little bit of just being misunderstood when it’s like time and time again I don’t know why I keep having to say, and we keep having to say, that there is no issue and there is no problem. It’s so disappointing that people still behave this way over a man. It’s the world we live in, unfortunately.”
