Hailey Bieber has finally addressed accusations that she “stole” her husband, Justin Bieber, from his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
In a recent interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the 27-year-old supermodel refuted these claims, stating that there is “mutual respect” between her and Selena, despite their long-standing rivalry.
“When [Justin] and I started dating, he was never in a relationship at any point,” Hailey clarified, emphasizing her integrity. Currently expecting her first child with Justin, she stated, “It’s not my character to mess with someone’s relationship. I would never do that; I was raised better than that. I’m not interested in doing that, and I never was. I understand how it looks from the outside.”
Hailey went on to explain that neither she nor Selena “owe each other anything except respect.” She expressed her admiration for Selena, saying, “I respect her a lot. There’s no drama personally.”
Hailey also acknowledged that their past relationships have closed a chapter, suggesting it was ultimately beneficial for Justin to move on, get engaged, and marry her. “It has nothing to do with me, so I respect that a lot. I think it was the best thing that could have happened for him,” she added.
For context, Justin and Selena officially ended their relationship in March 2018, just months before he married Hailey in September 2018. This discussion marks a significant moment for Hailey, as she seeks to clarify her position amid ongoing speculation and rumors surrounding their relationship dynamics.
