Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez made a conceited effort at the weekend to put feud rumours to bed once and for all.
Posing for a photo at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ second annual gala in LA, a hug between the pair marked a huge milestone after years of fan speculation there was tension over Justin Bieber.
Rumours first started when Hailey started dating Justin a month after he split from Selena in 2018, after an on and off seven-year relationship.
Model Hailey, 25, and the singer, 28, tied the knot in September, with Selena, 30, seemingly channelling her heartache into her song Lose You To Love Me released shortly after the wedding.
The duo looked happy and comfortable as they posed for a series of pictures together inside the glitzy bash - and now it's been reported they were talking for "quite some time".
"Hailey said that they talked for quite some time and although they did not get into anything too deep, they were able to be real with each other about where they are now.
"Selena knows that this was a long time coming and she has nothing but love for Hailey and Justin, she told her this. There is nothing left to talk about here and they are both hoping that this finally puts any misconceptions about them to rest," an insider told Hollywood Life.
The source added Hailey knew Selena was going to be attending the gala but she didn’t see her until they were already inside the museum.
"Hailey knows she has her whole life in front of her and she doesn’t want this false narrative to continue forever. Hailey thought it was really lovely being able to put this behind them."
They added the last thing the model would want is drama.
It's thought the ice was broken by Hailey publicly addressing feud rumours for the first time in a podcast.
Hailey insisted there was mutual "respect" between there as she broke her silence.
"When [Justin] and I started hooking up, he was never in a relationship, at any point," she clarified.
It's not my character to mess with someone's relationship, I would just never do that, I was raised better than that. I'm not interested in doing that and I never was."
"I understand how it looks from the outside," she explained.
She added: "[Selena] doesn’t owe me anything, neither of us owe each other anything except respect. I respect her a lot. I respect her, there's no drama personally."
Mirror Online has contacted Hailey and Selena's representatives for comment.
