September 28, 2022: Hailey addresses controversies related to Justin's former romance with Selena Gomez.

For the first time, Hailey publicly clarifies the timeline of her relationship with the singer and his on-and-off-again romance with Selena Gomez, confirming the two never overlapped.

Speaking in an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Hailey tells host Alexandra Cooper that Justin had already "closed a chapter" with Selena by the time she got back together with him in 2018, and adds that she would have never started things again with the singer had she not been sure that things were officially over between them.

"I understand, again, how it looks from the outside, and there's a lot of perception there," she says. "But that was a situation where I know for a fact that it was the right thing for them to close that door, they were not in a relationship at that time."

She adds, "Of course, there's a very long history there, and it's not my relationship. It has nothing to do with me, so I respect that a lot, but I know that it closed a chapter. And I think it was the best thing that could have happened for him to move on and be engaged and get married and move on with his life in that way."

Hailey also addresses her relationship critics, particularly in light of public-generated controversies surrounding how quickly she and Justin wed following the singer's final split from Selena.

"A lot of the hate and the perpetuation comes from like, 'Oh, you stole [Justin],'" she says. "I guess maybe that just comes from the fact that they wish he ended up with someone else, and that's fine. You can wish that all you want, but that's just not the case."

"I just think life is changing all the time," she says. "Day to day, week to week, year to year. I think a perfect example of that is over the last six months, both of us have gone through very serious health issues. You have to figure out how to deal with this sh*t as it comes, you know? There's a reason they say 'for better or for worse.' Like, that's for real!"

Recovering from recent health struggles together has made their relationship even stronger. "He's still the person that I wanna be rushing back to," Hailey says. "I might fly somewhere and go do a job, but I can't wait to come back and hang out. And I feel like that's because of the effort that's been put in on both sides."

She adds, "At the end of the day, like, he's my best friend, but it still does take a lot of work to make it work. And then I know eventually, when kids come in the picture, that's going to be a whole other season of navigating how to make that work."

You don’t want to scare them off by saying, 'I’m scared,'" he said.

Now, however, the two are focusing on "creating these moments for us as a couple, as a family, that we’re building these memories," and "it’s beautiful that we have that to look forward to.

"When I had hundreds of thousands of comments bombarding me with: 'He’s never going to this,' 'You’re never going to that,' 'You’ll be divorced by then,' you can’t help but wonder: Does someone see something that I don’t see? ... But the only two people in a relationship are the two people in it."

"Look, marriage is always going to be hard and I think good relationships are the relationships that you put the work into," she also says. "I had never lived with someone before.

"I know that in the past, I've hurt people and said things that I didn't mean to make them happy in the moment. So now I'm just more so looking at the future, making sure I'm not damaging them.
