Hailey Bieber, recently spoke up about the long-standing parallels between Selena Gomez and herself. She discussed in an open interview how draining it is to be continuously compared to other women, particularly one who was romantically associated with her husband, Justin Bieber. She talked about how she feels, how her skincare line, Rhode, has been successful, and how perceptions are shaped by public narratives. Beyond the cacophony, a picture of a lady attempting to get fame and recognition comes to light.
Struggling Against the "Comparison Trap"
Hailey made it clear she never asked for to be compared with Selena Gomez. She complained about being "pitted against other people" in her interview with WSJ Magazine, which coincided with the announcement of Rhode's $1 billion sale to e.l.f. Beauty and its debut at Sephora. She underlined that the comparisons are unjust and unwanted, and claimed that people have "made up a story" about her and how she fits into it.

Even when questions about Gomez or "feud" rumors were raised, she rejected the idea of competition, insisting "there is space for everybody." In previous comments, she had vehemently criticized stories that set women against males, labeling them "vile, disgusting hatred" based on fabricated stories.
Bond with Selena, Justin, and the Public's Gaze
Despite the ongoing parallels, Hailey has openly stated that she respects Selena and that she has had private conversations with her. She said that when their relationship started, Justin was no longer with her, and she denied any overlap with him when he and Gomez were together. She also discussed the psychological effects of internet animosity and how fans contribute to the continuation of rivalries.

On Gomez's side, she's addressed the cruelty of some fan behavior and has urged kindness in how people speak about one another. Hailey's story also includes her own brand journey. Rhode's enormous success after being acquired by e.l.f. has elevated her to a new level among beauty entrepreneurs. She claims that she doesn't see the necessity to compete with others in order to prove herself. She prefers to be recognized for her own contributions rather than as a character in someone else's tale.
Selena and Hailey's Relationships: Two Separate Journeys

In late 2023, Selena went public with music producer Benny Blanco, with whom she got married recently. Selena has stated that she feels protected and truly loved in the relationship, and the couple has shared moments on social media.
