Yes, the 2022 picture-perfect rendezvous of Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber at the Academy Museum Gala. But while fans rejoiced over this budding friendship, one name - Justin Bieber - was allegedly not too comfortable with the whole scenario.

    A Snapshot That Echoed Across Hollywood

    When Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber, two of the most followed and loved Hollywood beauties, posed together for that photograph, the internet collectively lost its mind. They didn't just strike a pose; they broke barriers. Barriers that had for years wrongly pitted them against each other due to their individual relationships with the 'Baby' hitmaker, Justin Bieber. The sensational photo arrived shortly after Hailey addressed rumors surrounding her and Justin's relationship timeline with respect to his past with Selena.

    Flashback to the drama: Justin and Selena, the teenage sensation, had a rollercoaster relationship for years. When they officially called it quits, it wasn't long before Justin found love again and tied the knot with model Hailey in 2018. Rumors swirled regarding an overlap, leading to speculations and comparisons galore. However, as reported by In Touch Weekly, it appears that both ladies managed to leave history behind. An insider shared, "After years of being pitted against each other, Selena and Hailey are on friendly terms. They’re both in very different places in their lives now." Selena too, seemed to have no regrets. "She’s over him. She thinks Hailey is a good person and wishes her well," echoed another source.

    Justin's Alleged Jitters

    While the two women seemingly reconciled, whispers around town suggested Justin wasn't entirely on board with this newfound camaraderie. Sources claimed that the 'Sorry' singer was apprehensive about them sharing stories. The thought of his wife and ex-girlfriend growing close reportedly had him on edge. The grapevine buzzed with Justin's alleged remarks, "He’s freaking out over them comparing notes. He’s even warned Hailey to keep her distance from Selena, despite calling a truce. As far as he’s concerned, all hell can break loose again at any moment."

    The rest, as they say, is history. Selena continued to shine in her career, with occasional rumors of her romantic escapades making headlines. Meanwhile, the Biebers maintained their marital bliss, becoming one of Hollywood's power couples.

    So, as we trip down this memory lane, it’s evident that Hollywood's landscape is ever-shifting. Friendships form in the unlikeliest of circumstances, and past flames can sometimes still ignite sparks of discomfort.
