Hailey Bieber is finally setting the record straight on long-standing rumors that she “stole” Justin Bieber from Selena Gomez. In a recent interview, Hailey shut down speculation that she interfered in Justin’s past relationship, insisting that the singer was completely single when they started dating.

“There was never any overlap,” Hailey emphasized, addressing years of fan speculation that Justin had been caught in a love triangle between her and Selena. “People need to know the truth—he was not in any relationship when we got together.”

Despite moving forward as husband and wife, Hailey has continued to face backlash from die-hard “Jelena” fans who refuse to believe Justin didn’t leave Selena for her. The rumors have followed their marriage since the beginning, with some critics accusing Hailey of rushing their engagement shortly after Justin and Selena’s final breakup in 2018.

But Hailey remains firm that she and Justin’s love story was built on a clean slate. “I understand why people have their own narratives, but that’s simply not what happened,” she added.

Selena Gomez, for her part, has largely stayed silent on the matter, choosing to focus on her own career and personal growth. However, with Hailey speaking out so directly, will this finally put the rumors to rest—or only reignite the drama?
