Not only fans and friends, but also Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriends congratulate his small family.

The news of Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber expecting their first child has caused a global media sensation. Fans and many showbiz stars have sent their congratulations to the singer’s small family.

In particular, Justin Bieber received congratulations from his “ex-girlfriend group,” Caitlin Beadles and Sofia Richie. The comments from these two girls on Justin’s Instagram have delighted many fans. Despite the breakup, they can still be friends and genuinely congratulate each other’s new happiness. This is in stark contrast to the reaction of Selena Gomez, Justin’s most deep-rooted and controversial ex. Immediately after Justin announced his impending fatherhood, Selena Gomez “flexed” a cozy picture with her new love interest, Benny Blanco. Additionally, the 32-year-old singer posted a group photo with her co-stars from “Only Murders in the Building” to promote Benny Blanco’s new project.

Selena Gomez’s actions have sparked discussions on social media. Many believe that the actress is comparing her happiness with Justin and Hailey’s. Meanwhile, there are also opinions that Selena Gomez’s actions both subtly affirm her feelings for Benny Blanco and imply that she and Justin have found their own happiness and are no longer connected to each other.

The relationship between Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber, and Hailey Bieber has always been the focus of media attention for many years. Justin and Hailey got married in 2018, shortly after the singer broke up with Selena. Since then, Hailey and Selena have been continuously involved in rumors of seeing each other as “unfriendly enemies.” Appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast in September 2023, Hailey revealed that she and Selena had talked to each other after the wedding. The model emphasized that there was no hatred or animosity between her and Justin’s ex. Hailey shared that she respected Selena as her senior, and both were ready to move forward.

However, Hailey is believed to have acted contrary to her statement about her relationship with Selena. The model has been repeatedly found with negative actions directed towards Selena Gomez. In February 2023, Hailey Bieber was accused of teasing and mocking Selena after the singer shared about her ruined eyebrows. This incident led to criticism of Justin’s wife, and she lost millions of followers on her social media. The situation only calmed down when Selena unexpectedly spoke up to defend Justin Bieber’s wife amid the storm of controversy.

Last year, Hailey drew attention on social media with evidence suggesting that the model was trying to imitate Selena Gomez in every way, from words, tattoos, to fashion style. Immediately, suspicions arose that Hailey was obsessed with Selena and wanted to become her copy, causing a stir.

At the end of March, Hailey Bieber once again became the center of discussion on social media due to suspicions of mocking her love rival, Selena. Hailey posted a story announcing that she was listening to the song “Jolene” (by Beyoncé) with an angry face icon. It’s worth mentioning that the lyrics of the song are a warning not to get close to her husband and are directed at the homewrecker. From this, netizens suspected that Justin’s wife was posting a story taunting Selena, while also sending a message to her love rival to stay away from her spouse.

After being heavily attacked, even receiving threatening messages, Selena Gomez pleaded with fans to stop attacking her younger counterpart. “Hailey Bieber reached out and let me know that she has received death threats and many negative messages. I think no one deserves to be hated or bullied, and she doesn’t represent that. I always support kindness and genuinely want all of this to stop,” Selena shared on her social media page. After being defended by her senior, Hailey Bieber wrote a thank-you message to Selena. This shows that Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez do not have a tense or hateful relationship as rumored by the public.
