Hailey Bieber has cleared up a theory that has long bothered some of her husband Justin's fans.
The model participated in an episode of the new season of the podcast "Call Her Daddy" that was published this Wednesday.
Host Alex Cooper asked her about being called a "homewrecker," as there was a theory that before she married Justin Bieber, he was dating her and his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, at the same time.
Hailey Bieber rejected that statement with a resounding "no."

Justin Bieber and Gomez publicly dated from 2010 to 2017. The former couple's followers nicknamed them "Jelena."
Bieber got engaged to his now-wife in 2018 and they married a few months later.
Hailey Bieber, who dated the singer in 2016 before they broke up and then got back together, said she knows "what it looks like from the outside and there's a lot of perception there. But that was a situation where I know for sure it was right thing for them to close that door.
"They weren't in a relationship at the time, but of course there's a very long story there. And it's not my relationship."

"That's why I say everything is respectful," said Hailey Bieber.
