Selena Gomez narrowed down who can comment on her Instagram photos with her friends just days before Justin Bieber, 30, and Hailey Bieber, 27, announced the news that they are expecting their first child together.

So I think I’ve created boundaries to help myself,” she said in a May 2 interview on The Today Show. “Obviously people worried about that. They care about everything,” she added at the Rare Beauty Mental Health Summit 2024.

For years, the internet has pitted Selena and Hailey against each other, fueling rumors of an alleged “fight.” They successfully quashed speculation in October 2022 when they warmly posed together for photographs at an event in Los Angeles. They even shared a hug in a photo

. But in February 2023, rumors of feud surfaced again after Hailey shared a TikTok clip that some fans perceived as her making fun of Selena.
