All is well with the world again, and we have only Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber to thank for it!
In an iconic moment that will forever have its place in pop culture history, Selena and Hailey sent shock waves throughout the internet when they were seen being super friendly during an event.
As you might know — if you’re not living under a rock — the two A-listers have been pitched against each other publicly for years because of their seemingly overlapping relationship with Justin Bieber.
Many have insinuated that Hailey stole the Canadian singer from Selena, resulting in a podcast appearance from the model to clear the air. However, now we know for sure the imaginary hatchet is buried, and we can’t keep calm!
Hailey Bieber & Selena Gomez Look Friendly In Photos
On Saturday, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures held its 2nd Annual Gala in Los Angeles and both Selena and Hailey were in attendance. Both women turned heads on the red carpet in their killer outfits.

The “Only Murders In The Building” star oozed confidence in a powerful black suit ensemble. The actress rocked the killer suit, which featured flared pants and a deep neckline. She paired the outfit with black open-toe sandal heels and accessorized with a pair of simple diamond earrings and subtle makeup.
The Rhode Skin founder, on the other hand, donned a sultry skintight brown dress with a bandeau style top and a huge cut-out at the torso area, flaunting her toned mid-riff. The bottom of the Saint Laurent dress featured ruched details and a dramatic bow.
She kept her accessories to a minimum, rocking a vintage necklace and a hexagon ring. Her brunette tresses were styled in a center part, and her face was subtly made up. While their outfits were sure to keep tongues wagging, it was the surprising bond they shared.
In photos that have since flooded the internet, Hailey and Selena looked to be on good terms as they posed for the camera together. In one photo, the ladies sat close to one another with Selena’s hand placed affectionately on the model’s thighs as they posed cheek to cheek.
In another image, the “Kill ‘Em With Kindness” singer pulled the Ford Models signed personality into a tight hug, with a wide smile seen on Selena’s face. The display of friendship between the ladies comes weeks after Hailey made some bombshell confessions during her appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.

In late September, Hailey made an appearance on Alex Cooper’s podcast to clear the air about claims of her stealing Justin from Selena during their eight-year on-and-off romance that ended in March 2018.
In her words, “It’s not my character to mess with someone’s relationship. I would just never do that. I was raised better than that. I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody. That’s the end of it. I can say, period, point blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody — that’s the end of it.”
Hailey also spoke about the hate she has received from Gomez’s fan base, saying she wants mutual respect. She explained, “The first thing I would say is you’re not obligated to like me. But I believe that no matter what, there can always be mutual respect between people. And to me, that means just that you don’t have to say anything. You don’t have to like me, but you don’t have to say anything either.”
When asked if she had ever spoken to the Disney star to end the harassment, the 25-year-old socialite answered, “No. What I will say is that she has been in this industry much longer than I have, and maybe there’s something that she knows about like it wouldn’t fix anything.”
The podcast appearance was painted by the media as an attack on Gomez but the “Wizards of Waverly Place” alum didn’t see it that way. As The Blast reported, in a TikTok Live, the 30-year-old addressed her fans about the issue.
“I think some of the things I don’t even need to be aware of are just vile and disgusting,” she said with a somber look on her face. “And it’s not fair. No one ever should be spoken to in the manner that I’ve seen.” Selena urged her followers to remember that “words matter” and stay true to her mission of spreading love.

Since seeing both ladies hug it out, fans online haven’t been able to keep calm.
