Hailey Bieber’s Selena Obsession Won’t Die: Proof She’s Still Living in Gomez’s Shadow

For years, Hailey Bieber has tried to shake off accusations that she’s obsessed with Selena Gomez, but her actions keep proving otherwise.

Just when it seems like she’s moved on, another subtle dig, cryptic post, or suspicious coincidence brings her fixation back into the spotlight.

Despite being married to Justin Bieber for nearly five years, Hailey’s behavior suggests she still hasn’t fully let go of the shadow Selena casts over her life.

Whether it’s mimicking Gomez’s style, making passive-aggressive social media moves, or surrounding herself with people who take jabs at the singer, Hailey’s obsession is impossible to ignore.

Hailey’s history with Selena is messy, and while she often plays the victim, she has been caught multiple times fueling the never-ending drama. Some of her most infamous moments include:

Copying Selena’s Looks and Phrases – Fans have repeatedly pointed out instances where Hailey appears to mimic Selena’s fashion choices, hairstyles, and even captions.

Whether it’s outfits nearly identical to ones Selena wore years earlier or suddenly using phrases Gomez popularized, the eerie similarities are hard to dismiss.

Cryptic Social Media Shade – Hailey has a habit of liking posts, sharing messages, or engaging with content that many believe is aimed at Selena.

The most notorious example was when she posted the now-deleted TikTok with Kendall Jenner, mouthing “I’m not saying she deserved it, but God’s timing is always right” right as Selena was being body-shamed. The backlash was immediate, forcing Hailey to go into damage-control mode.

Friendships with Selena’s Known Haters – Hailey has maintained close ties with people who have publicly attacked Selena, fueling speculation that she enjoys stirring up tension.

From mean-girl cliques to influencers who have thrown direct shade at Gomez, Hailey’s inner circle seems conveniently aligned with those who aren’t fans of her husband’s famous ex.

Many believe Hailey’s actions stem from deep-seated insecurity. After all, Justin’s love story with Selena was one of the most publicized romances of the past decade, and their breakup was far from clean.

To this day, “Jelena” fans still reminisce about their past, making it nearly impossible for Hailey to escape comparisons.

But instead of ignoring the noise, Hailey often feeds into it, intentionally or not. If she were truly unbothered, would she constantly engage in behaviors that keep the Selena narrative alive?

It seems that rather than establishing her own identity, she remains fixated on proving she’s "better" than the woman Justin once loved so deeply.

While Hailey continues to be caught in these petty situations, Selena has mostly taken the high road. She has repeatedly asked fans to stop the hate, emphasizing kindness and positivity.

Even when Hailey allegedly reached out to her for help after one of their public feuds, Selena obliged, posting a message urging people to back off.

Despite this, Hailey’s lingering obsession continues to fuel unnecessary drama. While Selena is busy focusing on her career, business ventures, and philanthropic work, Hailey seems stuck in a never-ending cycle of comparison.

At this point, it’s clear Hailey can’t escape Selena’s presence in her life. Whether it’s intentional or subconscious, her every move seems to circle back to her husband’s ex.

But the question remains: does she actually want to move on, or does keeping Selena in the conversation serve some twisted purpose?

As long as she continues engaging in the same behavior, she will never be seen as anything more than “Justin Bieber’s wife who can’t stop thinking about Selena Gomez.”

If she truly wants to carve out her own identity, she needs to stop feeding the narrative and finally let Selena go—for good.
