BREAKING: Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber Enjoy a Romantic Sushi Date Night in Los Angeles Amid Buzz Over Selena Gomez’s Alleged Diss Tracks in Her New Album, with Justin Saying, ‘I’m Focused on My Life Now’

Justin and Hailey Bieber’s Sushi Date Night Sparks Buzz After Selena Gomez’s Alleged Diss Tracks

Los Angeles, CA – On Friday, March 21, 2025, Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber were spotted enjoying a cozy sushi date night in West Hollywood, just hours after Selena Gomez dropped her highly anticipated album, I Said I Love You First, with fiancé Benny Blanco. The timing of the outing has fans buzzing, as many speculate that Gomez’s new tracks contain pointed references to her ex, Justin Bieber, reigniting interest in the long-standing saga between the former couple and Hailey.

The Biebers appeared unfazed by the swirling drama, stepping out for a kid-free evening without their 7-month-old son, Jack Blues. Justin, 31, kept it casual yet polished in an oversized white button-down, baggy black pants, and white slippers—shedding the disheveled look that had recently worried fans. Hailey, 28, complemented her husband’s laid-back vibe, sporting low-rise black trousers, a white tank top, and a khaki jacket. The couple’s outing came across as a deliberate show of unity amid the renewed spotlight on Justin’s past with Gomez.

Selena Gomez’s latest album, released on March 21, has set social media ablaze with speculation. Fans are dissecting lyrics from tracks like “How Does It Feel To Be Forgotten,” where Gomez sings, “You’re so embarrassing / Go cry when no one’s watchin’ / I can’t imagine it / How does it feel to be forgotten?” Many interpret these lines as a jab at Bieber, especially when paired with, “He loves me, I love him / Look at you, just look at you now,” which some see as a nod to her current happiness with Blanco contrasted against Bieber’s life with Hailey. Another song, “Younger and Hotter Than Me,” with lyrics like “All of the girls at this party / Are younger and hotter than me,” has fueled theories of lingering tension, possibly referencing Hailey, who is four years younger than Gomez.

Adding fuel to the fire, Justin broke his usual silence with a rare comment about the situation. While leaving the sushi restaurant, he reportedly told paparazzi, “I wish her the best,” a succinct but loaded statement that has only intensified speculation about his reaction to Gomez’s music. The remark echoes sentiments he’s shared in the past about his ex, notably during a 2015 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, where he said Gomez was someone he’d “never stop loving” but acknowledged their mutual respect despite their rocky history.

The Gomez-Bieber saga dates back to their on-again, off-again relationship from 2010 to 2018, a romance that captivated fans and inspired countless songs. Gomez’s 2020 hit “Lose You To Love Me” was widely seen as her farewell to Bieber, with lyrics lamenting how he “replaced us” in “two months” after their final split—coinciding with his whirlwind engagement to Hailey in 2018. Bieber, too, has penned tracks about Gomez, including “Sorry” and “Mark My Words” from his 2015 album Purpose, where he expressed regret and lingering affection. Now, with Gomez’s latest release, it seems the musical dialogue between them persists.

Hailey Bieber, meanwhile, has faced her own share of scrutiny. Recently, she’s been accused of subtly shading Gomez on social media, with some pointing to a March 12 Instagram Story about “bananas” as a possible dig at Gomez’s love for Blanco’s famous banana pudding. Hailey’s team has denied these claims, but the narrative of a feud persists, fueled by years of fan-driven tension between “Team Selena” and “Team Hailey.”

Despite the drama, Gomez appears to be thriving. Engaged to Blanco since December 2024, she’s channeling her energy into music and acting, with I Said I Love You First marking her first album in five years. In a recent Spotify interview, she clarified that the album isn’t solely about her past, saying, “The whole album isn’t just about my life,” though she left room for fans to connect the dots. Blanco, for his part, celebrated the release with an ecstatic Instagram post, starkly contrasting Justin’s more cryptic show of support for Hailey via his own social media.

As the Biebers savored their sushi and Gomez’s album dominated headlines, the internet remained divided. Some fans hailed Gomez’s lyrics as a triumphant clapback, while others defended Justin and Hailey’s right to move forward. One thing is clear: the intertwined stories of these three continue to captivate, with each new chapter—whether in music or a quiet LA date night—keeping the world watching. For now, Justin’s “I wish her the best” stands as his only public word on the matter, leaving fans to wonder if this sushi date was a subtle response or simply a night off from the chaos.
