The Dark Reason Justin Bieber Won’t Let Hailey End Her Feud With Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez might be ready to move on, but the drama between her and Hailey Bieber doesn't seem to be ending anytime soon, and Justin Bieber might be the reason why.

Despite Gomez's attempts to close this painful chapter, new reports suggest that Justin encourages Hailey's involvement in the long-running feud.

While the singer's ex and his wife continue to make headlines for their tension, insiders claim that Justin actually sees the rivalry as proof of Hailey's loyalty to him.

The tension between Gomez and Hailey continues to simmer years after the Nickelodeon star's relationship with Justin ended.

According to a source, Justin isn't exactly discouraging the drama; in fact, he encourages his wife's behavior because he believes it shows that Hailey loves him.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, the insider shared, "Justin trusts Hailey to say what she wants to say and if she gets them into some drama, he's going to ride or die with her, whether it is about Selena or not.'

The same source claimed that the couple "want to continue to fan the flames," while Gomez wants to take the high road.

While Justin Bieber and Hailey appear comfortable with the ongoing public chatter, the "Wizards of Waverly Place" star is reportedly determined to move forward with her life.

Gomez, who is now married to producer Benny Blanco, is said to be focusing on her marriage and happiness.

"Selena's main goal is now not to worry about Hailey and Justin ever again," the insider told the outlet. "They are never going to be friends, and it would be great if they don't keep having to talk about each other."

The "Love On" singer proved this recently when she deleted an Instagram post that fans thought was aimed at Hailey after the model called constant comparisons between their brands "annoying."

Gomez's post read, "Just leave the girl alone. She can say whatever she wants. Doesn't affect my life whatsoever. It's just about relevance, not intelligence. Be kind. All brands inspire me. There is room for everyone."

Selena Gomez made the post after Hailey reignited attention when she spoke to the Wall Street Journal on October 14 about the constant comparisons between her Rhode Beauty line and Gomez's Rare Beauty brand.

The 28-year-old model said, "It's always annoying being pitted against other people. I didn't ask for that."

Her comments quickly went viral, leading many to accuse her of shading Gomez again.

Sources later confirmed that "no matter what Hailey says, the recent shade toward Gomez was exactly that, and the fans called it out."

However, another insider claimed that the women's tension is "a professional rivalry" rather than personal, explaining that it now has nothing to do with Justin Bieber at all.

Despite the ongoing online drama, the same source added that if Hailey and Gomez "were to find themselves in the same room, they'd be very nice to each other."

While online speculation continues to swirl about Justin, his wife, and his ex, the "Baby" crooner appears to be focused on his faith and family.

As The Blast reported earlier this month, his mother, Pattie Mallette, shared a heartfelt post in September, praying for his healing and strength.

She wrote, "I declare freedom, strength, clarity, and healing over you, Justin." She continued, "Holy Spirit, surround him with TRUTH, LIGHT, and PROTECTION… Fill him to OVERFLOWING with Your LOVE and COMFORT."

However, Justin thought the post was funny. Weeks later, he humorously replied, "Only thing I need healing from is my rolled pinky toe from playing ping pong."

Just days earlier, he had posted about finding peace through faith, writing, "Jesus teaches that our effort is simply a response to being gifted life and forgiveness."

The pop star also released his latest album, "Swag II," featuring songs like "Story of God" and "Everything Hallelujah," highlighting his spiritual growth and how his beliefs help him cope with fame.

Despite the ongoing drama surrounding Gomez, sources insist that Justin and Hailey Bieber's marriage is solid.

The couple celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary on September 13 and marked their son Jack Blues' first birthday in August.

A few days after their anniversary, a source told PEOPLE that the pair "have had challenges like anyone else, but they always come back to the same thing: they truly believe they are soulmates."

The insider added that "becoming parents has only deepened their bond — Jack is the center of everything for them."

While Hailey may still face criticism from fans and media for her ongoing feud with Gomez, she and Justin are determined to stay united through it all, with her husband standing firmly by her side, no matter the controversy.
