Rumors of tension between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez have circulated for years, fueled by fan speculation surrounding their respective relationships with Justin Bieber. Online theories and social media scrutiny have long linked the two stars, often amplifying unfounded narratives. Recently, Hailey Bieber addressed one such rumor — that she has been “stalking” Gomez — with humor during a Vogue interview.
Appearing in Vogue’s “In the Bag?” segment, Bieber lightheartedly responded to ongoing fan theories while showcasing what she carries daily. After pulling out her phone featuring the newly launched Rhode lip case, she revealed five more phones from her bag. “I really just use them for a lot of the simple stuff, like surfing anonymously, commenting, stalking, viewing girls’ pages, making multiple accounts,” she said playfully, seemingly referencing the long-standing rumors of her monitoring Gomez’s activity online.
During the segment, Bieber also unveiled a “tincture potion” she claimed was gifted by a witch when she was 12. She joked that the potion made “a young Canadian pop star fall in love” with her — another likely nod to her husband, Justin Bieber, and the media’s obsession with his past relationship with Gomez.
The online tension resurfaced again in March, when a content creator claimed that Bieber had liked a TikTok video mocking Gomez and her fiancé, Benny Blanco. Bieber’s representative denied the claim, calling it “fabricated by a content creator looking to capitalize off of an old, tired narrative.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Bieber dismissed recent divorce rumors and candidly discussed her postpartum experience following the birth of her son, Jack Blues Bieber.
