Selena, 31, filmed herself as she appeared to be mumbling the lyrics: “The boy is mine.”

The singer opted to turn off sound for the upload, making it unclear what exactly she was saying.

She was seen wearing a black puffer coat and had her hair slicked down, looking unbothered as she swept her hand across her face and smirked.

On Reddit, one person shared the Disney Channel star’s IG Story next to a Story recently shared by Hailey, 27.

Hailey reshared a Spotify photo of her listening to Beyonce’s new rendition of Jolene, originally released by Dolly Parton in 1974.

“Whew [angry face emoji],” Hailey captioned in the screenshot.

The song, which is featured on Beyonce’s new album Cowboy Carter, is Parton’s famed spurned lover tune with the chorus ending, “Please don’t take him just because you can.”

The post maker connected the two uploads, writing, “OMG Selena really says ‘the boy is mine.'”

A post on X, formerly known as Twitter, read, “Fans seem to think Selena Gomez is responding to Hailey Bieber posting Beyonce’s rendition of ‘Jolene.'”

Another wrote: “Let’s be real… the boy is hers in a way… maybe not the man, but the boy is… that first love and flame and all, it can never be taken away… even if she did move on and doesn’t want him anymore because of everything that has happened…”

A third said, “Maybe that’s why Hailey is going crazy.”

A fourth wrote on X, “Hailey has been shady towards Selena way before Selena was shading Hailey.”

Others chimed in with their theories, believing Selena’s video may have just been a coincidence.

“I think she’s posting it randomly, she’s in love and happy with Benny,” one person replied.

Selena has been dating producer Benny Blanco, 36, for roughly six months.

“It’s a new Ariana Grande song that Selena already reposted recently. I truly don’t think Selena wants crusty dusty Justy ever again,” a second wrote.

FOREVER FEUD?

Selena and Justin previously dated on and off from 2010-1018.

Hailey and Justin officially tied the knot in September 2018, leaving many fans wondering if he was still involved with Selena when pursuing a relationship with the Victoria’s Secret model.

In the past, fans were outraged and claimed that Hailey stole Justin from the Who Says singer.

However, in September 2022, Hailey clarified the assumption during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

“I can say, period, point blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody — that’s the end of it,” Hailey explained.

One month later, the girls agreed to pose for photos together at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ second annual gala.

While many fans believed the two had buried the hatchet, a post in February 2023 had them questioning once more.

Hailey and Kylie Jenner, 26, were accused of trolling Selena and making fun of her eyebrows after Selena posted a TikTok.

Although Kylie and Selena both came out and said there was no drama between them, Hailey kept quiet.

One month later, Selena addressed the Rhode skincare founder and her followers on her Instagram Story.

“Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity,” she wrote.

“This isn’t what I stand for. No one should have to experience hate or bullying.

“I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop.”

It appeared the pair called a truce after Selena followed Hailey on the above-mentioned platform.

HAILEY’S RESPONSE

Shortly after, Hailey followed Selena back and shared her own Instagram Story in response to the Rare Beauty founder’s post.

“I want to thank Selena for speaking out, as her and I have been discussing how to move past this ongoing narrative between her and I,” Hailey wrote.

“The last few weeks have been very hard for everyone involved and millions of people are seeing so much hate around this which is extremely harmful.

“Things can always be taken out of context or construed differently than they were intended.

“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.”

MARITAL WOES

As Hailey and Selena may have kicked up their feud again, the married couple has reportedly been struggling.

After months of divorce speculation, Hailey and Justin have recently been living apart as he has been seen out and about in La Quinta, California.

A source recently said that Hailey, who has been staying in Los Angeles, felt the need to spend some time away from her pop star husband.

“Hailey’s struggling,” an insider told In Touch Weekly.

“She just needs time to sort things out on her own.

“Hailey just wants to live by herself for a while,” they added.

While she’s not considering a divorce at this time, Hailey seemingly understands that Justin “feels hurt and confused, but she feels lost too.”

The source added that Hailey simply “needs a break.”

The information comes shortly after a psychic matchmaker, Deborah Graham, told The U.S. Sun that the couple would not last in their marriage.

“This will be a reasonably short marriage, so I see a divorce in the future,” Deborah said.

“I am seeing another marriage in the future, though, for both of them with other people.”
