Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber unfollow each other on Instagram amid Justin Bieber drama; fans say, 'It was long overdue'
The pop culture universe just got messier—Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber have officially unfollowed each other on Instagram, ending their 27-month-long social media internet diplomacy. Let's break down what's really going on behind this digital cold war.
Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber's Instagram ceasefire ends after 2 years
Another chapter in the ongoing Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber story just unfolded online. As of June 19, 2025, the two women, who made headlines in March 2023 for seemingly ending fan-fuelled drama, have officially unfollowed each other on Instagram. This social media move has reignited speculation about the real state of their relationship, especially as Justin Bieber's recent behaviour keeps confusing fans.
When did Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber make a truce?
Back in March 2023, fans were stunned when Selena and Hailey followed each other on Instagram. This rare truce came after years of comparisons, online hate, and speculation about tension between them, mostly centred around their mutual connection to Justin Bieber.
At the time, Selena had publicly asked fans to stop harassing Hailey. Taking to her Instagram Story, the Disney alum wrote, 'Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity." She added, This isn't what I stand for. No one should have to experience hate or bullying. I've always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop.
Prior to that, the skincare mogul and the Rare Beauty founder posed together for the first time at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on October 15, 2022, hinting they have buried the hatchet and are moving on in life.
Fans react to Selena and Hailey's recent unfollow
Fans were quick to notice Selena and Hailey's mutual unfollow, sparking fresh speculation online. One user asked, "I agree she (Selena) should've done it a long time ago, but I'm curious why now?"
Another said, "From the hate video likes to the articles, etc., this was very much deserved and needed! It's absolutely EMBARRASSING over there. I'm so happy she's (Selena) distancing herself from that disaster. We cheered!"
"I need to know who blocked who," one curious fan asked.
One person theorised, "Do y'all think it had something to do with Justin Bieber's 'cherry' story? Maybe she wants to distance herself from them and all the drama. Especially since she's getting married."
Another commented, "It's about time. Selena only followed her to stop people from hating Hailey, but now there's no need to continue to follow a person you don't associate with. Watch Selena haters say, Selena unfollowed Hailey out of jealousy."
One simply wrote, "It was long overdue."
Did Justin have a role to play in it?
Justin Bieber has allegedly been taking subtle digs at Selena, including a recent engagement meme that fans believe was aimed at her. He also unfollowed her fiancé, Benny Blanco, hinting that things might not be as civil as they seem. With Selena and Hailey's recent unfollow, fans are once again questioning if the Sorry singer is at the centre of it all, especially as Justin and Hailey continue to face ongoing divorce rumours.

The students present there were impressed by Shashi Kapoor's performance on stage. He was an actor who was every girl's favourite.' Zeenat said that she tried very hard to get a glimpse of Shashi Kapoor. She said, 'I was lucky that Shashi lived in South Bombay, which was not very far from my house. Now neighbors talk, and soon the news spread that Shashi Kapoor goes out for a walk every evening at sharp 6 o'clock, then my friends and I used to try to get a glimpse of him on the pretext of 'fresh air' during the winter vacation.

Tyreek Hill's intense training of son raises eyebrows amid history of domestic violence claims
Tyreek Hill, amidst personal challenges including a recent divorce filing, is emphasizing hard work and dedication to his son Zev (Imagn Images) Miami Dolphins' Tyreek Hill, famously dubbed 'Cheetah' for his unmatched speed, is showing fans that his impact goes far beyond touchdowns and highlight reels. In a deeply personal and emotionally charged moment, Hill took to Instagram ahead of his son Zev's track meet, delivering not just support, but a clear, powerful life lesson that spoke volumes about his evolving identity—as a father, a mentor, and a man determined to break cycles. Tyreek Hill pushes son to greatness while battling personal turmoil with powerful life message Tyreek Hill's intense training session with his young son has ignited a firestorm, as fans question his parenting approach amid a storm of past abuse allegations and a fresh divorce battle. 'This is what it's all about. Big Day tomorrow. Race Day, for my lil boy,' Hill wrote. In a world where celebrity fatherhood is often curated for likes, Hill didn't shy away from showing the tougher side of parenting. 'Gotta be hard on my son this week... We don't expect nothing but greatness in the Hill family.' The training video that followed wasn't just a motivational snippet—it was a window into a philosophy born from hardship. Hill's childhood was marked by challenges and strict parenting. Now, despite his fame and wealth, he is choosing to replicate the demanding but purpose-driven style of his own upbringing. 'You want success? You gotta work hard for it,' he told Zev. 'It may not be for the sports world... Lawyer, Doctor, Teacher. You gotta work hard, you gotta embrace it. Or a football coach.' Zev's reply? 'I wanna be a football coach.' Hill's delighted response: 'There you go... You gotta tell your players to work hard. You gotta push them.' Trying to turn pain into purpose in the midst of personal challenges What makes this moment particularly poignant is the backdrop. Hill's personal life is currently under intense scrutiny. In April, his wife Keeta Vaccaro filed for divorce following a reported domestic dispute. Though no arrests were made and details remain sealed, it added to a history of controversies surrounding Hill. But rather than retreat or spiral, Hill appears committed to showing up for his kids. He shares twins and Zev with his ex-fiancée Crystal Espinal, and a daughter, Capri, with Keeta. His message, even amid chaos, is consistent: resilience, hard work, and emotional investment in the next generation. Also Read: Lamar Jackson tried acting and was blown away by how hard filming a single scene really is: 'a lot goes into that' For Tyreek Hill, it seems fatherhood is becoming his toughest but most meaningful role—and one he's sprinting into with the same intensity that made him a star.
