Hailey Bieber addressed claims that she “stole” Justin Bieber from singer Selena Gomez or was some kind of “homewrecker” and said she never did — and won’t discuss the subject ever again.
During the 25-year-old model’s appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast that aired Wednesday, Hailey told host Alex Cooper that there is zero truth to the idea that she and Justin were ever “romantically” involved at the same time the “Baby” hitmaker and Gomez were together.
“No, not one time,” Bieber’s wife explained. “When him and I ever started, like, hooking up or like anything of that sort, he was not ever in a relationship — ever, at any point. … It’s not my character to mess with someone’s relationship, I would just never do that.”
“I was raised better than that,” she added. “I’m not interested in doing that and I never was. I think that there are situations where you can still kind of have back and forth with someone but even that was not the situation.”

“I can say period, point-blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody,” Bieber continued. “That’s the end of it. And I had been involved with him since I was 18. … I understand again, how it looks from the outside and there’s a lot of perception there, but that was a situation where I know for a fact that it was the right thing for them to close that door.”
The supermodel reiterated once again that Bieber and Selena were “not in a relationship at that time, but of course there’s a very long history there and it’s not my relationship.”
She shared that she doesn’t want to speak on behalf of either one of them ever again because it’s their relationship and she honestly respects that “very deeply.”
“I just, yeah, I respect her,” the model shared later. “There’s no drama … it’s all love.”
Hailey, who’s the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and Kennya Baldwin, and the “Yummy” hitmaker got married in 2018.
