Selena Gomez has sparked a massive conversation about a possible secret meaning behind her latest Instagram post.
Selena Gomez’s fans have argued there may be a cryptic message directed at Hailey Bieber on Gomez’s post on May 21.
The Instagram post read: “You matter. Your voice matters. Your heart matters. You are worth so much more than you know.”
She added at the bottom: “You know who you are and I’m cheering you on.”
Now, while this could be referencing just about anything under the sun, people have remarked that the timing of the post is interesting.
Most recently, Justin Bieber had quite a blunder with his own Instagram post which was presumably meant to prop up his wife for her latest achievement, but fans interpreted it as a rather big put down.

Sharing a picture of Hailey on the latest cover of Vogue, Justin commented: “Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue.
“Yikes I know, so mean. For some reason because I felt so disrespected. I thought I gotta get even.
“I think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even we’re honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection.”
He then concluded: “So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken.”
Yeah… it was a bit of a misfire as a caption and Justin appeared to think so, as he would change it to some emojis a few hours later.
But those weighing in on Gomez’s post praised the star for her apparent support of Hailey and continued to criticize Justin for his mistimed post.

One user had a scathing comment for Justin and said: “Selena Gomez liking a post about Hailey and cheering up on her after her husband humiliated her on social media. we all can agree that Justin Bieber is the real problem.”
Another praised Gomez and said: “Internet trolls have been so he’ll bent on painting her as the problematic third wheel, when she was always consistent with her ‘be kind’ ‘don’t bully others’ messaging.”
With a third simply commenting: “The way Selena is way more supportive of Hailey than her husband.”
And another wrote: “His fans will still call Selena the obsessed one when she is literally being a girls girl and supporting her.”

Justin Bieber has felt the ire of his fans after he posted a rather bizarre Instagram caption dedicated to his wife over her latest achievement.
Model Hailey Bieber has just accomplished a major milestone by being featured on the front cover of Vogue, and her fans are of course delighted.
Her husband, Justin Bieber, wanted to bring attention to this success in a social media page – but things didn’t exactly go to plan.
In an Instagram post on May 20, the ‘Baby’ singer revealed that he once made a brutal dig at her about her modelling career and was glad that he was mistaken.
But unfortunately, fans weren’t exactly happy with this and hit back at the star.

Justin wrote in his now-edited Instagram caption: “Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue.
“Yikes I know, so mean. For some reason because I felt so disrespected. I thought I gotta get even.
“I think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even we’re honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection.”
He then concluded: “So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken.”
So yeah… maybe not the best caption to celebrate your wife’s achievement? And it certainly drew some rather critical comments from his fans.
One user said: “Some things are best kept to yourself. Like this caption.”
Another quipped: “She doesn’t need haters she already has you.”
While one furious fan replied: “Congrats on taking one of Hailey’s biggest moments and making it about you. Now no one’s talking about rhode at sephora, or about how strong she is bc of her 18 hour long delivery. they’re talking about how much you hate her.”
Though many took issue with Bieber’s comments, others defended the star and praised his honesty.

One user said: “Why the people saying ‘so unnecessary’ Justin being honest, [on] his social media, respect.”
Another commented: “People think relationships are perfect and that there are no arguments, he was honest and everything is fine. Be happy, and let JB be happy. Who has never had a bad fight with their partner?”
And a third wrote: “He said sorry that’s enough.. Momma Hails is stunning.”
Bieber has since changed the caption to a line of positive emojis.
UNILAD has contacted Bieber’s representatives for comment.

Selena Gomez has finally addressed rumors her fiancé Benny Blanco has been cheating on her, without saying any words at all.
Fans were shook by the sudden coupling between Gomez and Blanco since the pair had long been friends, having met when they were just teens of around 17 and then working on the music producer’s track ‘I Can’t Get Enough’ in 2019.
It wasn’t until December 2023 that the actor-turned-singer revealed she had been dating Blanco, whose real name is Benjamin Levin, after sparks apparently flew when they were working on her track, ‘Single Soon’.
The 11-time Grammy nominee co-produced the tune from August 2023 and the rest, as they say, is history.
He popped the question to Gomez in December last year, and ever since, the loved-up couple have not taken a breather out of the spotlight.

Earlier this year, the hottest new couple in Hollywood sat down for a joint interview with Interview Magazine where Blanco said he often worries the Disney Channel superstar is going to have a change of heart and dump him.
Gomez swatted this concern away, going on to describe their intense romantic connection, as evidenced by his cheesy Valentine’s Day gesture where he filled a bathtub full of nacho cheese with ‘I love you’ written out in chips scattered across the floor.
Then, last month, they made headlines again after fans spotted an NSFW item in the background of a recent Instagram post – a bottle of lube just chilling on the windowsill behind Gomez.

However, despite their apparent adoration of one another, the rumor mill has been busy at work, recently accusing Blanco of cheating on his other half.
The situation spiralled when Gomez appeared to mysteriously unfollow her best friend, Theresa Marie, on Instagram.
Eagle-eyed fans claimed to have spotted the OnlyFans star enjoying a private dinner with Blanco, fueling the rumors that the pair were having relationship troubles.
Now, Gomez has appeared to address the vicious speculation once and for all, taking to Instagram to squash the rumor for good.
As the saying goes, a picture says a thousand words, and Gomez went with this method by posting a cosy snap with her buddy in what fans are saying is a clear rebuttal of the infidelity allegations.
Among nostalgic snaps with her nearest and dearest, the 32-year-old captioned the post: “lil blast from the past because basically I’m lying horizontal rn and reminiscing bout some memories,” with a love heart emoji to hammer the point home.
Marie, a former personal executive assistant to Kim Kardashian, became acquainted with Gomez around 2014 through work – and by 2019, were the best buds.
Gomez wrote in another Instagram post at the time: “I met Theresa 5 years ago. We worked together and became best friends.
“She has taught me how to see life in a fun, carefree and uplifting way. She has shown me how to be a strong and fearless woman.
“She is beautiful, kind and smart. I saw how capable she was of achieving her dreams. I wanted nothing more than to see her pursue them and soar.
“And here you are making it happen T. I love you and I am so proud of you.”

Hailey Bieber has addressed rumors that she ‘liked’ a video mocking Selena Gomez and her fiancé, Benny Blanco.
A TikToker claimed Hailey dragged up her alleged spat with Selena by ‘liking’ a video about her and her fiancé.
The content creator posted a video with a collection of photographs of the couple from their Interview Magazine cover shoot and described them as ‘the WORST’.

The clip went viral and has accumulated more than 2.2 million views at the time of writing.
But in a follow-up, the TikToker then accused Hailey ‘herself’ of liking the video with an alleged screenshot of the notification.
“I was being a little shady to Selena Gomez,” the creator admitted.
“However, that means that the Selena Gomez [and] Justin Bieber beef is alive and well people.”
They added: “I feel like this is definitive proof.”
Now, Hailey’s rep has spoken out about the alleged incident, telling US Weekly in a statement: “This never happened.”
“This entire story has been fabricated by a content creator looking to capitalize off of an old, tired narrative,” it added.
The Bieber-Gomez alleged feud spans years as the two women have been pitted against each other for their romantic involvement with the ‘Baby’ hitmaker, Justin Bieber.
The 32-year-old former child star dated the Canadian singer on and off between 2009 and 2018.
Then the Rhode Skin founder, 28, began dating him after he separated from Selena – and married him that same year.
The couple have always denied any relationship overlap and Hailey also denies that she ‘stole’ the pop star from Selena.
Yet, amid their newlywed bliss, the Biebers were met with backlash from Selena’s fans.
The women have made several attempts to put an end to the rumors of their ‘spat’, even posing together in pictures at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ Gala in 2022 and addressing allegations in social media posts and press interviews.

In an interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Hailey stated it was ‘all love’ between her and Selena, though was later accused of poking fun at Selena’s beauty tricks on social media, sparking fresh speculation of their apparent ongoing feud.
Then in 2023, Selena and Hailey appeared to put the rumors to bed once and for all as the Wizards of Waverly Place star defended Justin’s wife on social media.
She said Hailey had received ‘death threats and such hateful negativity’.
“I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop,” Selena added.
Hailey then posted her thanks to Selena for ‘speaking out’ on the online hate.
“We all need to be more thoughtful about what we post and what we say, including myself,” the model added. “In the end, I believe love will always be bigger than hate and negativity, and there is always an opportunity to meet each other with more empathy and compassion.”
The ‘Love Yourself’ singer proposed to Hailey in July 2018 and they tied the knot just two months later.
The Biebers welcomed their first child, Jack Blues, in August last year.
Meanwhile, Selena confirmed she was dating music producer Benny Blanco, 37, towards the end of 2023 before announcing their engagement on Instagram in December 2024.
Hailey appeared to show her support for the couple by ‘liking’ the Instagram post.

A source claims Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco got engaged in August and the reason they held off publicly announcing the news is allegedly to do with Justin Bieber.
Selena Gomez announced her engagement to Benny Blanco in a post shared to Instagram yesterday (December 12).
However, a source has since come forward to claim the Only Murders in the Building star got engaged to the producer months prior but was worried it may clash with some other news.
Gomez took to her Instagram page yesterday to share the news, sharing four images.
The first shows her hand and ring; the second shows her sitting in a garden on a rug looking at her ring; the third a selfie with Gomez smiling down, showing her hand and ring to the camera; and the fourth and final picture of the singer in the arms of Blanco, him kissing her on the side of the head as she shows her hand to the camera beaming.
The caption reads: “Forever begins now..”
However, while the announcement was shared yesterday, that doesn’t mean Blanco popped the question recently, a source has since claimed.

A source – allegedly an ‘insider’ on the matter – told the Mail Online that Gomez and Blanco actually became engaged in August.
So why wait until December to tell the world? Well, first off, just because someone is in the public eye doesn’t mean they’re required to tell the world information about their life as soon as it happens.
But the insider claims Gomez also allegedly held off as a result of ex-partner Justin Bieber and partner Hailey Bieber announcing the birth of their first child in August.
The source claims Gomez ‘didn’t want her engagement to be tied to Bieber in any way’ because she ‘knew that there would be stories accusing her of getting engaged to turn attention away from Justin’s baby or that people would claim that she did this to one up him’.
UNILAD has reached out to Gomez’s representatives for comment.
While it’s not been confirmed, the idea of withholding the announcement out of fear of backlash on social media would make sense, Gomez having previously spoken out about the extremely damaging effects of internet trolls on her mental wellbeing.

Unable to let sleeping dogs lie and everyone get on with their lives, some social media users have long speculated about an alleged feud between Gomez and the Biebers as a result of the past relationship – it’s called moving on, everyone.
And so bad did some of the hateful comments become targeting the Biebers specifically, Gomez once took to TikTok to speak out.
The Only Murders in the Building actor wrote: “Please be kind and consider others’ mental health. My heart has been heavy, and I only want good for everyone. All my love.”
Hailey also spoke out in the days following Gomez becoming a target of severe trolling, writing: “If you’re leaving mean or rude comments on my behalf on anyone’s posts, just know that I don’t want that, nor do I ever or will I ever support or condone hateful, mean, or nasty comments. Doing that is not supporting me.
“If you are participating in that you are a part of a culture that I want no part of. Please be nice or don’t say anything.”
