Just when fans thought the drama was buried, Hailey and Selena’s latest social media move suggests otherwise
June 21, 2025, Hollywood’s most speculated relationship triangle is back in the spotlight — all thanks to a quiet but telling move on Instagram. Fans quickly noticed that Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez have unfollowed each other, reigniting long-standing rumors of tension that many believed had been put to rest.
The sudden disappearance of mutual follows came as a surprise, especially considering the two had famously followed each other in 2023 in what was seen as a public truce. Their united front at the Academy Music Gala later that year — with viral photos of them smiling side-by-side — was widely interpreted as the final word on their past.

Now, online sleuths are questioning whether this “mutual” unfollowing was staged to appear amicable or if one of them actually blocked the other. While some users called the move “petty,” others said they were shocked the women ever followed each other in the first place.
“This drama is so tired,” wrote one user. “Let them live already.” Another joked, “It’s Instagram, not Geneva. Stop reading into it.”
Neither Bieber nor Gomez — nor their reps — have commented publicly.

🔥 A Truce That Was Too Good to Be True?
The apparent fallout comes despite several public signs of support in recent years. When Hailey received death threats in 2023, Selena came to her defense, urging fans to embrace kindness. Hailey, in turn, “liked” Gomez’s engagement post to Benny Blanco in 2024, and Selena recently supported Hailey’s Rhode Skin Vogue cover with a like.
Still, fans never fully bought into the friendship narrative, given Hailey’s marriage to Justin Bieber, Gomez’s on-and-off ex from 2010 to 2018. Their shared history has been tabloid gold for over a decade — and this latest digital move ensures it’s not going away anytime soon.
🍼 Where Things Stand Now
Hailey, now a mother to 9-month-old Jack Blues Bieber, told Vogue in May that her relationship with Justin is “stronger than ever,” despite ongoing public speculation. Gomez, meanwhile, is happily engaged to music producer Benny Blanco and has focused her energy on acting, advocacy, and wellness.
But as this week’s social media slip shows, the past still has a way of catching up — especially when fans, and the internet, never forget.
