In the ongoing saga of Selena Gomez, Hailey Bieber, and the shadow of Justin Bieber, recent social media posts from both women have reignited old tensions among fans. Once again, the internet is buzzing with theories, opinions, and alleged “shade” thrown across Instagram and TikTok. Could there still be unresolved feelings or lingering tension in this love triangle? Let’s break down the latest developments and fan theories surrounding these three stars.
It all started when Selena Gomez posted a throwback TikTok of herself rehearsing her hit song “Lose You to Love Me.” In the video, Gomez is shown playing the piano, pouring raw emotion into her performance, and appearing visibly moved by the end. She captioned the post with, “making of me getting to know myself,” and noted that she had turned off comments for her “mental well-being.” Gomez also hinted at the song’s personal significance, asking viewers if they, too, had a moment that helped them truly understand themselves.
This post immediately reignited conversations surrounding Selena’s past with Justin, with some fans interpreting the emotional performance as a throwback to her breakup with him. Many fans recall that “Lose You to Love Me” was widely rumored to be inspired by her high-profile relationship with Justin. One fan commented, “Here we go again… she just can’t seem to move on,” suggesting that Gomez may be using her past to keep fans engaged. Another follower weighed in, speculating, “Is this all about staying in the headlines?”
Over the years, Gomez has hinted that “Lose You to Love Me” was indeed inspired by a past relationship, though she has never directly confirmed Justin as its subject. Fans have pieced together lyrical references, including the line, “In two months, you replaced us like it was easy,” as a nod to Justin’s whirlwind relationship and marriage to Hailey. The song also includes lines seemingly referencing Justin’s hit album Purpose, which many saw as direct callbacks to their shared history.
Hailey Bieber has indirectly found herself in the center of the drama more than once. When “Lose You to Love Me” was released, Hailey quickly posted a screenshot of a track titled “I’ll Kill You” on her Instagram story. While she never confirmed this was a direct response to Selena, the timing raised plenty of eyebrows. Fans saw it as a subtle, pointed statement on the ongoing public narrative surrounding Selena, Hailey, and Justin.
With the resurgence of Selena’s post, fans are once again discussing the possibility of lingering tension between Hailey and Selena. According to insiders, Hailey would rather move past the Jelena narrative altogether. An unnamed source close to Hailey reportedly revealed that she and Justin have had private conversations about fans’ continued obsession with his past relationship. The source added that Hailey feels Selena’s posts often fuel this narrative, forcing her to face public scrutiny and commentary on a situation she wishes would fade into the past.
There are also rumors that Selena has “liked” certain posts referencing her relationship with Justin, further fueling fans’ suspicions that she may still have lingering feelings. A fan recently claimed that Selena frequently engages with posts hinting at her and Justin’s past, while Justin himself seems to distance himself from any content connected to his ex. His silence has only intensified fans’ belief that there may still be unresolved tensions between the two women. Another viral tweet argued that Selena’s subtle engagement with Jelena content could be a means of staying relevant, with one user stating, “She keeps going back to her old relationship with Justin because it’s the only thing keeping her relevant.”
Some fans see these actions as subtle signs that Selena might still be caught up in her past with Justin, while others argue that she’s simply sharing her journey of self-healing. As for Hailey, the ongoing “feud” narrative has taken a toll, with some fans speculating that she is weary of being cast as the antagonist in a story that should have ended long ago.
What’s clear is that despite the years that have passed, the public remains deeply invested in the Selena-Justin-Hailey saga. As each new post stirs up discussions, fans continue to dissect and analyze every move, word, and social media interaction.
