The strain reportedly began after Hailey Baldwin’s controversial remarks mocking Gomez’s decision to sell her two multimillion-dollar homes and relocate to Canada following the failure of the Democratic “Blue Wave.” While Justin Bieber advised Hailey to avoid making further comments and to focus on their relationship, the couple’s differing perspectives on the matter have allegedly created a rift.

Insiders suggest that Justin’s neutral stance on the Selena Gomez issue has frustrated Hailey, who feels unsupported. “Hailey wanted Justin to be more vocal in backing her up, but instead, he took a more diplomatic approach,” a source close to the situation shared. “This has left Hailey feeling isolated and misunderstood.”

On the other hand, Justin is said to be growing weary of the recurring comparisons between Hailey and Selena, which have plagued their relationship since the beginning. “Justin doesn’t want to be dragged back into the Selena narrative,” the insider added. “He just wants to move forward with Hailey and focus on their life together, but this situation has made that difficult.”

The tension has reportedly escalated to the point where the couple has spent days barely speaking to one another. Close friends of the couple revealed that their usual playful dynamic has been replaced by noticeable distance and frosty interactions.

“Justin and Hailey are both very passionate people, and when they clash, it can get intense,” a mutual friend explained. “This situation with Selena has brought up a lot of unresolved feelings and insecurities, and neither of them knows quite how to address it.”

As news of the couple’s tension has spread, fans have taken to social media to share their thoughts. Many have expressed concern for Justin and Hailey’s relationship, with one fan commenting, “It’s sad to see how the shadow of Selena Gomez still looms over their marriage. They need to focus on each other, not the past.”

Others have been less sympathetic, criticizing Hailey for her remarks about Gomez. “Hailey brought this on herself with those comments. Maybe it’s time for her to stop obsessing over Selena and focus on her husband,” one user wrote.

Throughout this unfolding drama, Selena Gomez has maintained her silence, choosing not to engage in any way with the Bieber-Baldwin fallout. Sources close to Gomez say she is focused on her upcoming move to Canada and is determined to leave the past behind.

“Selena is in a good place and has no interest in getting involved in Justin and Hailey’s issues,” a friend of Gomez shared. “She’s focusing on her future and what makes her happy.”

While the current situation between Justin and Hailey seems tense, those close to the couple remain hopeful that they will work through their differences. Both have openly spoken about their commitment to one another in the past, and they’ve weathered challenges before.

“Justin and Hailey love each other deeply, but they need to communicate better,” an insider noted. “They’ve been through tough times before, and this is just another hurdle they’ll have to overcome together.”

As Justin and Hailey navigate this challenging chapter in their marriage, fans are eager to see how they will resolve their differences. Some believe that stepping away from public commentary and focusing on their private life could help ease the tension.

Meanwhile, Selena Gomez’s decision to start fresh in Canada continues to make waves, not just for her own career and personal growth but also for the unintended impact it’s having on those she left behind.

Whether Justin and Hailey can move past this latest challenge remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: the shadow of Selena Gomez, whether intentional or not, continues to influence their relationship in unexpected ways.
