The famous couple, who tied the knot in 2018, have found themselves the target of numerous rumours regarding the timing of Justin’s former romance with singer Selena Gomez - namely, whether it overlapped when he started dating Hailey.
The couple have never officially addressed the rumours - until Hailey addressed them for the first time in the Call Her Daddy podcast.
“Your husband was in a very public relationship” explains Alexandra, “people were obsessed with them [Justin and Selena] being together.”
“Were you ever with Justin romantically, at the same time as her?”
Hailey replied: “Um….this is so crazy I've literally never talked about this ever.” She added: “A lot of the hate and perpetuation comes from like [the idea that] ‘you stole him.’"
“It's about people knowing the truth, because there is a truth” she insists before the clip ends.
Fans wanting to hear the full story will have to wait until Thursday but the teaser has already warranted some attention from fans eager to know more.
One fan wrote: “I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE EXCITED FOR SOMETHING”, while another fan commented: “LOVE HER and can’t wait for this!!!! She seems like such a sweetheart!” Another fan added: “breaking the internet.”
Some however felt she didn’t need to bring up the past. One wrote: “Five years into her marriage and still talking about her husband’s ex…” while another said: “At this point haileys more obsessed with Selena than I am” with one fan adding: “Yall need to both stop talking about it JESUS Christ no one cares anymore. Let her be happy with her man.”
A caption on the teaser explained the video would be the “first time ever” Hailey “opens up about the public-generated controversy between her and her husband's ex.”
The Call Her Daddy podcast launched in 2018 and aims to“spit in the face of misogyny” and attempts to put “a modern twist on feminism.” Previous guests have included the likes of Miley Cyrus and former Playboy Bunny Holly Madison.
