Hailey Bieber's Birthday Post to Justin Bieber Derails as Fans Comment amid Selena Gomez Drama
Fans of the Hailey Bieber/Selena Gomez drama pulled up with their buckets of popcorn for the comments on the model's March 1, 2023, birthday post for her husband Justin Bieber.
With Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez's online drama reignited at the start of 2023, neither celebrity's posts are safe. The "Lose You to Love Me" singer wisely took a break from social media while the model did business as usual by wishing her hubby a happy birthday.
A big theme that emerged was that the "Peaches" singer looked like he was trying to escape, as he was looking directly into the camera while his wife kissed him with her eyes closed in the first image of the carousel. But at least one fan wasn't there for the drama, "Happy birthday to the only relevant one."

Another tweeted that it is telling that Justin Bieber has not defended his wife.
