Back in the 2010s, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were everbody’s favorite ship. Jelena, as they were called by their fans, was loved around the world. But it was not meant to be, as the 30-year-old would go on to marry Hailey Bieber. And thus began the tale of the latter’s conflict with Gomez and the rumors about her marriage, something that the daughter of Alec Baldwin has found extremely tough to come to terms with. And years after her marriage with Justin Bieber, she is sorry to admit that all the talk did take its toll on her.

Hailey and Justin Bieber tied the knot in 2018, in a ceremony that wasn’t made very popular. The marriage took the world by storm. Just a year back, Jelena had come back together after a long hiatus. Fans spotted them kissing in late 2017 itself. Though they went on a break come March, 2018 sources close to the duo had revealed that possibility of their spark being rekindled was very much on the cards.
Sadly for Jelena fans, it was not meant to be. Not long after breaking up with The Wizards of Waverly Place star, the Baby singer began seeing his ex Hailey Bieber (then Hailey Baldwin) again. And viola! We all know what happened thereafter.

Fast forward 6 years. Hailey and Justin have a child on the way. Selena Gomez has a sleuth of projects on the line, including her fourth studio album (and possibly a tour) along with numerous acting commitments. Jelena is nothing more than a thing of the past. That is for everyone except their fans.
Selena fans have found it difficult to move on from the memories of Jelena. And in their nostalgia, they have spared no attempt to harass Hailey Bieber. The 27-year-old has been at the receiving end of some horrid trolling, ranging from accusations that she and the Sorry singer are not happy, to death threats for her alleged feud with the Calm Down singer.
And it hasn’t been easy for the American model.

Though Selena Gomez has come out in Bieber’s defense time and again, fans would still find it difficult to digest the fact that everything is hunky dory between the married couple. Though the death threats she received for her ‘feud’ with Gomez have stopped after the Ice Cream singer official called for an end to all the hate-mongering, the rumors around her marriage with Justin being tumultuous haven’t.
Putting the record straight in an interview with W Magazine, Hailey Bieber said,
“It’s like people don’t want to believe that we’re happy.” (W Magazine)
She continued,
“I used to try to act like it hurts less and less. I’ve tried to think that you get used to it at a certain point, that this is what’s going to be said and this is how people are going to be. But I realize that it doesn’t actually ever hurt any less.”
While her love for the One Time singer, and the advice her therapist gave her, have kept her going until this point, she would really appreciate that people around the world understood that they are fine. And even if they weren’t, it is no one else’s business.
