Hailey set the record straight regarding her and Justin’s relationship schedule after years of fan-fueled speculation that she “stole” it from Selena.
During her appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she insisted Justin Gomez hadn’t cheated with her.
“No, not once,” she explained, adding that she and Justin started “dating” after he split from his former on/off girlfriend back in early 2018.

“When he and I started dating or something, he wasn’t in a relationship. It’s not my character to disrupt someone’s relationship. I was raised better,” Hailey said.
Justin and Hailey, who had an affair in 2016, rekindled their flame in mid-2018. They were engaged in July and tied the knot two months later.
“I understand how it looks from the outside, but that was a situation where I know full well that it was the right thing to do [Justin and Selena] closing that door, but of course there is a very long history there and I respect that very much.
“I don’t want to speak for any of them,” she explained.

With Justin and Selena on and off for nearly a decade, fans of both artists have felt emotionally invested in their acclaimed “Jelena” romance.
When they ended it and he moved on with Hailey, she became the target of online backlash and fan conspiracies.
“A lot of the hate comes from ‘oh you stole it’ and the fact that he wished it ended up with someone else. And that’s okay, you can wish that all you want, but it’s not the case.’
“You get a certain numbness,” she said when she encountered hate comments and posts from “Yelena” supporters.

“It’s still happening today, if I went live now it would still be happening. You get to a point where you have to ignore it,” she told Cooper.
“If we’ve moved on, why can’t you?”
Earlier in the day, a snippet of Hailey’s Call Her Daddy interview was teased online, touching on rumors that there was an overlap between her and Selena.
“This is so crazy — I’ve literally never spoken about it,” the model replied after Cooper noted how “obsessed” the public is with Justin and Selena’s relationship.
Cooper then bluntly asked, “Have you ever been romantic with Justin at the same time? [Selena]?’
Bieber said she finally wanted to address the claims that she stole Justin from Selena. “It’s about people knowing the truth. Because there is a truth,” Hailey explained, but the “truth” was not revealed in the clip.
Selena and Justin have been together since 2010.
The former Disney star was around 18 at the time, while Justin was around 16.
The couple’s first major break came in 2012, followed by a series of make-ups and breakups through 2018.
