Their outing comes after Hailey posed for a now-viral photo with Selena Gomez, who is her husband Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriend.
Just two weeks after they publicly denied stealing Justin, 28, from the 30-year-old singer, the duo looked friendlier than ever as they smiled in snaps shared to Instagram by Tyrell Hampton.
Selena gently wrapped her arm around Hailey’s leg as she knelt beside her in the snap, taken at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on Saturday night.
Other snaps showed them standing and hugging as Hailey held up a cocktail and Selena made it clear she had no hard feelings towards her ex-boyfriend’s wife as she kissed her warmly.

The two women, who have opposed each other for years, looked cheerful as they chatted and shut down any speculation of drama between them.
Their decision to be photographed together would have been to show the public “there’s no more beef or bad feelings,” a source told ET.
“Selena and Hailey were both super cool together at the Academy Museum gala. They have both moved on and are happy in their own lives,’ the insider revealed.
“They wanted to show the world that there was no more beef or bad feelings between them.”

As for Justin, who did not attend the gala, he says he is “very happy that they can all move on and that it can be peaceful between everyone”.
The duo’s sighting came after Hailey set the record straight on her relationship timeline with Justin following years of fan speculation that she “stole” him from Selena.
During her appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast last month, the Rhode founder insisted on hosting Alexis Cooper that Justin, 28, hadn’t cheated on Gomez with her.
“No, not once,” she said, adding that she and Justin started “hanging up” after he previously split from his former on/off girlfriend in early 2018.

“When he and I started dating or anything like that, he wasn’t in any relationship, it’s not my character to mess up someone’s relationship, I was brought up better than that,” she pointed out.
Justin and Hailey, who had a previous affair in 2016, rekindled their romance in mid-2018. They got engaged in July – two months after his split from Selena – and married two months later.
“I understand what it looks like from the outside, but it was a situation where I know for a fact that it was the right thing for [Justin and Selena] to close that door, but of course there’s a very long history there and I respect that a lot.
“I don’t want to speak on their behalf,” she explained.

Selena appeared to reference the events of her 2020 hit song, Lose You to Love Me, with the lyrics: “In two months you replaced us like it was easy.”
After Justin and Selena dated for nearly a decade, fans of both artists have felt emotionally invested in their high-profile “Jelena” romance.
So when they called him and he left with Hailey, she became the main target of online backlash and fan plotting.
“A lot of the hate comes from being like ‘oh, you stole it’ and wanting to end up with someone else. And that’s fine, you can wish whatever you want, but it’s not.
“There’s a certain numbness you feel,” she said upon encountering hateful comments and messages from “Jelena” followers.
