After Being Accused Of Plotting To Marry Justin Bieber As A Teen, Hailey Bieber Joked About Using A 'Potion' From 'A Witch' To Make Him Fall In Love With Her
The most prominent one is that she meticulously plotted to marry her now-husband Justin Bieber as a teenager, which largely stems from the fact that she was a huge fan of his before they started dating, and even used to 'ship' him and his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
For reference, Justin and Selena first started dating in 2011, and their on-again, off-again relationship went on for over seven years. A couple of months after the two went public with their romance, a then-15-year-old Hailey tweeted: "I don't care what anyone says but Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez together is the definition of a teenage dream!'
The following year, Hailey said that Selena was 'beyond flawless' and Jelena were the 'perfect relationship' as she joked that she would be 'forever alone.' Also in 2012, the teen shared her disappointment that Justin and Selena did not attend the Vanity Fair Oscars party because she had been looking forward to seeing their 'color coordination.'
It's worth noting that Hailey's X account has since been deleted, and neither she, Selena, nor Justin have ever acknowledged the historical tweets.
Over the years, Hailey has also been spotted in the background of paparazzi videos of Justin, but the two actually became friends in 2014. However, it was following Justin and Selena's final break-up in March 2018 that things really became interesting, with Justin and Hailey striking up a relationship three months later.
One month after that, they were engaged, and the two got legally married in a private courthouse ceremony in September 2018 — just six months after Justin and Selena's most recent split, and after nearly eight years of their rocky relationship.
Ever since, Selena and Hailey have been pitted against one another, and their so-called feud has publicly exploded a couple of times over the years, including in early 2023 when both women were accused of being shady to the other on social media.
Amid these feuds, Hailey has found herself at the center of baseless speculation that she has fake social media accounts to keep tabs on Selena and her fandom, as well as to post either nasty comments about Selena or positive comments about herself on fan accounts.

And Hailey expertly poked fun at all of this in a recent interview with Vogue, which involved her going through her handbag and sharing the context behind each item that she carries with her.
After showing off an Eau d'Nepo perfume in reference to her nepo baby status, Hailey pulled out her cellphone, and said to the camera: 'This is my phone, very straightforward, obviously.' She then pulled out several more cellphones and said: 'These are a couple more that I keep on me, and I really just use them for a lot of the simple stuff, like surfing anonymously, commenting, stalking, viewing girls' pages, making multiple accounts… You know, that kind of thing.'

And at the end of the video, Hailey pulled out a small glass bottle, and explained in a similarly deadpan way: 'OK, so last but not least, this is a little tincture potion that I got, I would probably say when I was around 12. My dad flew me to go meet with this witch who lived in the mountains, and she made it specifically for me.'
'She told me it would make a young Canadian popstar fall in love with me,' she went on. 'So, yeah, I've been taking this one for years. Absolutely love it, thanks Dad!'
Needless to say, people were impressed by the way that Hailey was able to poke fun at herself, and heaped praise on the star.
Commenting on Vogue's TikTok videos of the interview, one person wrote: 'She ate the haters up on VOGUEEE what an icon.'
'Mother has a sense of humor and the facecard 😭,' another popular comment reads. Somebody else admitted: 'she's too funny and iconic for me to judge her at all.'
One more commented: 'She's making fun of them and I'm so here for it 💀'
'LMAOO the deadpan look she gives at the end 😭 why do i need her on SNL,' another added, while somebody else confessed: 'not a fan of her but she ate this up ngl 😭.'
One more concluded: 'Hailey mocking her haters instead of crying or playing the victim is everything 💜'

Hailey Bieber Dodged Justin Bieber Divorce Rumors After Giving Birth
Though Justin Bieber dropped several songs dedicated to his longtime love, Hailey Bieber, on his seventh album SWAG, the couple can't seem to shake off breakup rumors. In a new interview with Vogue Italia, Hailey opened up about her postpartum journey and how she has to 'constantly' dodge false narratives that she and the 'GO BABY' singer are headed toward divorce. The Rhode founder admitted that after giving birth to their son, Jack Blues Bieber, was 'the most delicate period I've ever been through in my life' and that 'learning to live with a new version' of herself was 'very difficult.' She then addressed the divorce speculation head-on, saying, 'And having to do all this while constantly reading falsehoods on the internet like 'They're getting divorced' or 'They're no longer happy together' is something that really drives you crazy. I'm not even sure I can explain it. It's a crazy life.' Of course, she insisted that the online chatter 'isn't true' and said that she 'has a real life.' 'It's the one I share with my wonderful family, with my friends, with the people who know me and love me,' she shared. This isn't the first time Hailey has defended her and Justin's marriage on the frontlines. During her May 2025 Vogue cover story, she said, 'I feel like I've fought so hard to try to get people to understand me, or know who I am, or see me for me. And people just don't want to sometimes.' She continued, 'And there's nothing you can do about that. I've been in a position where I've tried to tell my side of a story or correct a narrative or tell the truth of a lie and then they go, Well, she's lying. Imagine how trapping that feels.' Ahead of SWAG's release, an insider told Us Weekly that tensions were high between the couple. 'Justin's going through a difficult time, and Hailey is giving him room to get himself back on track. He's doing his best, but it's tough,' they said, adding, 'Things have been very tense in the last month. Hailey's worried about Justin, especially with a [baby at home]. He hasn't been down like this in quite some time, so there's concern.' Even through the alleged rift, the source shared that chances of the couple splitting up 'are very slim, especially because of their faith' and that 'they believe they are soulmates and meant for each other. They'll do anything to make it work. He's a loose cannon, and Hailey's making room for that. They are going to get through it.'

What Venus Williams' DC Open Win Says About Women's Tennis
WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 22: Venus Williams celebrates after winning a women's single match against ... More Peyton Stearns (not pictured) during on day 2 of the Mubadala Citi DC Open 2025 at William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center on July 22, 2025 in Washington, DC. (Photo by) Venus Williams defeated Peyton Stearns 6-3, 6-4 at the DC Open yesterday, becoming the oldest woman to win a WTA Tour match since Martina Navratilova (47) in 2004. Williams returned to tennis for the first time in 16 months. Two weeks ago, her WTA Tour profile listed her as inactive. In the last two years, Venus appeared in more fashion shows than tennis matches. This week, Venus won two matches in two days, including one in doubles with Hailey Baptiste. "There are no limits for excellence," Williams told WTA staff after the match. "It's all about what's in your head and how much you're able to put into it. If you put in the work mentally, physically, and emotionally, then you can have the result." What does it say about the state of women's tennis that an inactive 45-year-old, wearing a black turtleneck dress in the smoldering Washington, D.C. heat, can defeat a 23-year-old player ranked No. 35? Is Venus' talent timeless and so elite that it dwarfs what's considered good play on the WTA today? Has the WTA, sans the Williams sisters, fallen victim to parity or mediocrity? Maybe Venus' victory is merely a moment in time, like Jimmy Connors in the 1991 U.S. Open. Connors was 39, ranked No. 174 and reached the semifinals. PARIS, FRANCE - JUNE 23: Venus Williams walks the runway during Vogue World: Paris at Place Vendome ... More on June 23, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo byfor Vogue) Next up for Williams is No. 24 Magdalena Frech, who defeated Yuliaa Starodubtseva, 6-2, 6-4. This will be Venus' first meeting against Frech. Venus took a wildcard to enter the DC Open, a standing offer from tournament chairman Mark Ein, a personal friend. In March, there were rumors that Venus accepted a wildcard to play at Indian Wells, but she declined. Fans saw Venus frequently during the French Open as part of TNT Sports' coverage. As soon as word spread about Venus accepting the wildcard to the DC Open, fans and journalists debated whether an unranked 45-year-old who last won a match in 2023 should get a free pass into the main draw. Venus dismissed the controversy, telling journalists, "I'm not here for anyone else, except for me, and I also have nothing to prove. Zip, zero." Venus Williams Holds Back Father Time WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 22: Venus Williams returns a shot against Peyton Stearns (not pictured) during ... More a women's single match on day 2 of the Mubadala Citi DC Open 2025 at William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center on July 22, 2025 in Washington, DC. (Photo by) Father Time is undefeated and a few months ago, Venus looked as if she'd come to terms with the aging state of her game. However, her fiancé, actor Andrea Preti, who'd never seen her play live, encouraged Venus to return to tennis. 'I haven't played in a year. There is no doubt I can play tennis, but obviously coming back to play matches, it takes time to get in the swing of things,' Venus told reporters during a pre-tournament press conference. 'I definitely feel I'll play well. I'm still the same player. I'm a big hitter. I hit big. This is my brand.' Serena became the oldest woman to win a Grand Slam when she defeated Venus in the final of the 2017 Australian Open. Serena was 35 years and 124 days old. Venus is ten years older than that. On Monday, Stan Wawrinka, 40, became the fourth youngest man to win an ATP Tour match. Connors (42 years and 9 months) is the oldest. Wawrinka has been playing matches regularly and defeated Swiss player Alvaro Guillén Meza, a player ranked No. 244 who spends most of his time on the Challenger's Tour. Meza's career high is No. 175. He's 0-2 in ATP level matches this year. Stearns reached a career-high No. 28 in May. She defeated Naomi Osaka and Elina Svitolina en route to the semifinals in Rome. That's a 1000-level event, not the Challenger Tour. What Venus pulled off would be like if Roger Federer, 43, came out of retirement and beat the ATP's No. 35, Gabriel Diallo, 23, in straight sets. Diallo is playing in the DC Open, won his match in straight sets and faces Ben Shelton in the third round. How Venus Williams Defeated Peyton Stearns WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 22: Peyton Stearns reacts after losing a point against Venus Williams (not ... More pictured) during a women's single match on day 2 of the Mubadala Citi DC Open 2025 at William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center on July 22, 2025 in Washington, DC. (Photo by) Stearns had a shaky start. But so did Venus, who was broken at love in the first game. Despite carrying a few extra pounds, Venus's footwork was efficient. She didn't chase down every ball, but approached the net when prudent, showcasing her solid volleys. She still covers the net well. Williams has one of the best serves in the history of the game. And she hit nine aces, leaving Stearns awestruck, jaw dropped in disbelief. Williams won 71 percent of her first-serve points. "I think it was a big win for me today. Like I said, it's not easy. It won't be easy. It's not easy for anyone out here. So I know I'll have to fight for every match, but I'm up for that," said Venus. Did Venus Williams Expose A Weak WTA? Anytime there is a debate about the greatest of all time, people say it's impossible to compare eras. But Venus' career spans three eras. She turned pro in 1994, when Steffi Graf, Monica Seles, and Navratilova still were on the tour. Stearns was born in October 2001, when Venus was No. 2 and the reigning U.S. Open champion. Yet, today's tour, where Stearns is a tough out, isn't much different from the way it looked three years ago when Venus regularly lost opening-round matches. Between 2022 and 2024, Venus had a 3-13 record. Venus went winless in 2023, the year Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff finished the season ranked No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3, respectively. Currently, Sabalenka, Gauff, and Swiatek are ranked, 1, 2 and 3. None of them are playing in the Citi Open. Perhaps Stearns' loss says more about Venus' skill set. A player with a big serve who can hit winners from both wings will always be competitive. Stearns hadn't faced Venus before. Stearns plays on a tour with big hitters, like Elena Rybakina and Sabalenka. Yet, the weight of Venus' ball seemed to surprise Stearns. Rybakina and Sabalenka hit flat balls and are like pitchers throwing fastballs. Venus serves a fastball with heavy topspin. Venus and Serena play like pitchers with curve and knuckle balls that fly like at a fastball. Stearns is not used to that. WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 22: Venus Williams reacts after winning a women's single match against Peyton ... More Stearns (not pictured) during on day 2 of the Mubadala Citi DC Open 2025 at William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center on July 22, 2025 in Washington, DC. (Photo by) Swiatek hits with massive topspin. Her first serve is decent, but her second serve is attackable and not coming from a 6'1" trajectory. Gauff is one of the best movers in the game. She can produce topspin, and she has great hands at the net. But her serve is unreliable. Venus brings the entire package, and that might be what's missing from the WTA. Could Gauff, a great mover, with an all-court game but a shaky serve, win two Grand Slam titles in the Williams sisters' era? Elena Dementieva never did. Maybe it's the Williams-level resilience missing. Getting to the top is not as difficult as staying there. "It doesn't matter how many times you fall down. Doesn't matter how many times you get sick or get hurt or whatever it is. If you continue to believe and put in the work, there is an opportunity, there is space for you," said Venus. Take Grand Slam champions Emma Raducanu and Naomi Osaka, who will meet in the second round of the DC Open. These champions are struggling to secure enough wins to return to the Top 20. They are in their 20s. At their age, Venus and Serena were trading victory and runner-up speeches in tournament finals. Raducanu and Osaka have victories over Serena. But that was the post-pregnancy Serena. Raducanu's run at the US Open happened in a Williams-less draw. During the pre-tournament press conference, Venus talked about wanting her sister Serena to join her on the tour. If Venus can beat a Top 35 player in straight sets, so can Serena. Regardless, the Williams sisters have nothing to prove. Venus' victory over Stearns puts the burden of proof on the rest of the WTA players.

The Eerie Meaning Behind Princess Diana's Funeral Dress Revealed Decades After Her Death
Princess Diana and Gianni Versace's friendship marked a significant shift from her royal days to cementing herself as a fashion icon. However, both celebrities' lives were marked by tragedy. Diana and Gianni Versace met in 1985 at Milan's Teatro alla Scala, but didn't form a bond until she was free from her divorce from Charles. 'Over the next several years, Gianni gradually became one of her favorite designers, although she often made him remove the gaudy medusas and overwrought details he piled on his clothes,' Deborah Ball wrote in her book House of Versace. 'He gave her first pick of his couture collection and designed pieces exclusively for her that were classic but had a pinch of glamour.' More from StyleCaster Princess Diana's Royal Family 'Lookalike' Duchess Sophie Revealed What She Really Thought of Her: 'I'm Not...' The Truth Behind Princess Diana & JFK Jr.'s Secret Night Together After Her Divorce From Charles In this time, Diana became more affiliated with more bold looks that were different from what the Firm had expected. She became closer to the designer when he dressed her for the 1997 Vanity Fair cover. 'I had a fitting with her last week for new suits and clothing for spring, and she is so serene,' the fashion designer said. 'It is a moment in her life, I think, when she's found herself – the way she wants to live.' The pair would often get dinner with another close friend, Elton John. The 'Benny and the Jets' singer reportedly had a closet said to contain every Versace shirt made. 'Gianni Versace is an aesthete,' the Princess wrote in the forward of Rock & Royalty. 'In search of the essence of beauty, which he captures with grace and ease.'In 1996, Gianni Versace was killed by serial killer Andrew Cunanan at his residence in Miami. A week later, Diana wore a sleek black Versace look for the funeral. More specifically, the autumn/winter 1997 shift dress was paired with pearls and the Dior Diana bag. Sabai Lubnow, curator of The Gianni Versace Retrospective at The Arches in London Bridge, said, 'That bag was never called the Diana bag by Gianni. The same with the so-called Bondage collection; Gianni called it Miss S&M. But these names come from collectors, fans, people who wear and love the pieces. That's where the connection sticks.' 'Do you think they'll do that to me?' she said, according to her former bodyguard Lee Sansum the following morning after Versace's death. Six weeks after the funeral, Diana died in a car crash following a paparazzi chase in Paris alongside her lover Dodi Fayed and their driver Henri Paul. Her appearance at the funeral had only been a portent of her tragic death. Diana and Elton John had a brief falling out, but later was brought together by their friend's death. 'Gianni Versace was murdered, and then Diana rang me up and we reconciled,' John recalled on Lorraine in 2018. 'And six weeks later, I'm in the same house, and she's dead. It was an extraordinary and mesmerising summer, and I just couldn't believe what was going on.'
