The Academy Museum Gala took place last night and the major news coming out from the star-studded event is indeed the viral photo of Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber embracing each other. The (not on anyone’s 2022 bingo card) moment happened just weeks after Hailey spoke out rumours that she “stole” her husband Justin Bieber from Selena Gomez at Alex Cooper’s Spotify podcast Call Her Daddy.

Is this the first time Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez spoke to each other?

Let’s be real, we’re all wondering the same thing. On the Call Her Daddy podcast, Hailey revealed that the two spoke to each other sometime after her wedding and there’s “no drama”.

“That’s also why I feel like, well, if everybody on our side knows what happened and we’re good and we could walk away from it with clarity and respect, then that’s fine,” she continued.

Safe to say, the internet has had a field day since the photo has been out and yes, Justin Bieber has entered the chat. (At least, that’s what the internet thinks.)
