Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber unfollowed each other on Instagram, reigniting fan speculation about renewed tensions.
The unfollow marks a shift from the apparent truce between Gomez and Hailey, who publicly reconciled in 2022–2023. In October 2022, they posed together at the Academy Museum Gala, and in March 2023, Gomez urged fans to stop harassing Hailey, following Hailey’s outreach about online abuse, as reported by People. The recent unfollow, noticed by fans, coincides with rumours of marital strain between Hailey and Justin Bieber, who reportedly unfollowed Gomez’s fiancé, Benny Blanco, on Instagram.

Fans have mixed reactions to Gomez’s decision. Some applaud it as a long-overdue step away from drama, while others speculate that it may be linked to Justin’s alleged subtle jabs at Gomez online, although there is no verified evidence to confirm this. Unsubstantiated rumours suggest that Gomez initially followed Hailey to help de-escalate fan conflicts, but now feels no need for a digital connection.

Neither Gomez nor Hailey has made any public comments, leaving the reason for the unfollow unclear. While Us Weekly and Elle have reported on the situation, their narratives are largely based on fan speculation and lack solid evidence of personal conflict. Given the history of fans exaggerating their supposed feud, it is important to be cautious when interpreting social media actions as definitive proof of tension.
