Hailey Bieber to address claims she 'stole' Justin Bieber from Selena Gomez
Hailey Bieber has, for a long time, been accused of "stealing" Justin Bieber from his ex Selena Gomez and well, now, the model has finally spoken up about it.
According to Page Six, Hailey claims that there is a "truth" to the story of how she and her husband met, and Selena is not a part of it. The model responded to charges that she "stole" Justin from Selena on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast this week.
In a preview video, host Alex Cooper asked Hailey, "Were you ever romantically involved with Justin at the same time as (Selena)?"
Hailey then responded by saying, "This is so crazy. I've literally never talked about this ever! A lot of the perpetuation and the hate comes from 'Oh, you stole him.'" She added, "It's about people knowing the truth. Because there's a truth."
While the episode has yet to air on Sept. 28, US time, Geo News reported that Hailey previously avoided answering questions related to the issue.
“I’m minding my business. I don’t do anything, I don’t say anything. Leave me alone, please,” the model said in an interview last April, noting that so much time has passed since her husband and Selena's split.
Just a few months prior to Justin proposing to Hailey, he had called it off with Selena and that's why their fans have always lashed out at Hailey.
In July 2018, Justin took to Instagram to announce his engagement with Hailey, months after reportedly breaking up with Selena Gomez. The singer wrote, "Was gonna wait a while to say anything but word travels fast, listen to plain and simple Hailey I am soooo in love with everything about you!"
He added, "So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of loving you patiently and kindly. I promise to lead our family with honour and integrity letting Jesus through his Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do and every decision we make. My heart is COMPLETELY and FULLY YOURS and I will ALWAYS put you first! You are the love of my life Hailey Baldwin and I wouldn't want to spend it with anybody else."
"You make me so much better and we compliment each other so well!! Can't wait for the best season of life yet! It's funny because now with you everything seems to make sense! The thing I am most excited for is that my little brother and sister get to see another healthy stable marriage and look for the same!!!" Justin continued.
"God's timing really is literally perfect, we got engaged on the seventh day of the seventh month, and the number seven is the number of spiritual perfection, it's true GOOGLE IT! Isn't that nuts? By the way I didn't plan that anyways My goodness does feel good to have our future secured! WE'RE GONNA BE BETTER AT 70 BABY HERE WE GO! "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains FAVOR from the Lord!" This is the year of favor!!!!" the global star concluded.
Hailey and Justin signed wedding papers in a New York courthouse just two months after the proposal. Later, in 2019, Bieber and Hailey had a dreamy church wedding in North Carolina.
