Looks like Selena Gomez is fully embracing the “women supporting women” motto, and the internet can’t get enough of it.
On May 20, 2025, just hours after Justin Bieber’s controversial confession about the regrets he holds in his marriage to Hailey, Selena appeared to subtly weigh in on the drama and make her stance crystal clear.
First, the Rare Beauty founder sparked speculation by liking Sephora’s official Instagram post announcing a major new collaboration with Mrs. Bieber’s skincare brand, Rhode Skin.
Shortly after this surprising move, the Lose You To Love Me singer shared a pointed and heartfelt Instagram Story featuring a quote by author Abbie Wiggins that read,
“You matter. Your voice matters. Your heart matters. You are worth so much more than you know”.
Moreover, she followed the quote with her own cryptic message, writing,
“You know who you are and I’m cheering you on”.
Justin Drops Bombshell Confession About Relationship With Hailey
Gomez’s unexpected show of support for Hailey came just hours after the Baby singer shared a surprisingly candid Instagram post reacting to his wife’s solo debut on the cover of Vogue’s summer issue.
In a now-edited caption alongside photos from Hailey’s stunning shoot, Justin confessed to a past moment he regrets deeply, writing,
“This reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight, I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue. Yikes I know, so mean. For some reason because I felt so disrespected, I thought I gotta get even”.
He wrapped up the post with an oddly worded apology,
“So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken”.
For years, Hailey and Selena have been pitted against each other by social media users, fueling a long-standing narrative of rivalry over Justin.
This supposed beef has sparked relentless online hate and criticism for both the ladies, with fans often dragging the two women into drama.
However, Hailey has made efforts to shut down those rumors. In December 2024, she subtly showed support for the Only Murders In The Building star by liking her engagement announcement post on Instagram with her now-fiancé, Benny Blanco.

The model had also previously addressed the speculation head-on during her September 2022 appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper. Speaking candidly about accusations that she ‘stole’ Justin from Selena, she shared,
“This is so crazy… 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… When him and I ever started, like, hooking up or anything of that sort, he was not ever in a relationship ever, at any point. It’s not my character to mess with someone’s relationship”.
Fans Applaud Selena’s Support For Hailey, Call Out Justin For The Drama
The internet erupted with praise for Gomez’s unexpected show of support for her ex’s wife, with fans applauding the maturity and unity between the two women, while many didn’t hold back in pointing to Justin as the real issue in all the drama. Some such comments read,
“Good for them, People need to stop pinning these two against each other and move on”.
“People need to realize, JUSTIN is the problem. No matter who you like, no woman deserves to be publicly embarrassed. 😞”
“Getting more support from the ex than her husband 😩”
“Sounds good…. moving on is the best thing in life….😍😍😍”
“People be hating on Hailey for no reason. No one blames the guy!”
“Well yes. They support each other”.
“There’s No real hate between them, it’s just the industry wanna paint them as one”.
“Hailey also showed support to Selena when she was on the cover.. women supporting women ❤️”
“The issue is JB. Stop putting two girls against each other. He’s the problem”.
Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber are proving there’s room for grace, not rivalry. Their subtle support for each other is the plot twist no one saw coming, but everyone’s rooting for.
