Justin Bieber wants everyone to know: he didn’t mean it. After the internet erupted in speculation over the “Baby” singer unfollowing his wife, Hailey Bieber, on Instagram, Justin quickly clarified the situation.
“Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,” Justin shared in a now-deleted Instagram Story on January 21.
The incident, which sparked online chatter about the couple’s relationship, was quickly resolved as Justin refollowed Hailey soon after.
Fans were quick to defend Justin, with one user on X (formerly Twitter) writing, “This was 100% an accident. Justin Bieber just posted a sweet message to his wife, and Hailey liked his picture yesterday.”
Indeed, Justin recently shared a heartfelt Instagram Story praising Hailey on January 18, calling her “The greatest woman I have and will ever know.” The pair, who have been spending time in Aspen, Colorado, appeared as happy as ever in recent updates.
Despite ongoing speculation about their relationship, Hailey has consistently shut down breakup rumors and reaffirmed her commitment to Justin. Last July, Hailey spoke with W Magazine in an interview, she opened up about the relentless scrutiny she’s faced since marrying the pop star in September 2018.
“People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one,” Hailey said. “‘Oh, they’re falling apart. They hate each other. They’re getting divorced.’ It’s like people don’t want to believe that we’re happy.”
While she tries to remain strong, Hailey admitted that the constant criticism takes a toll. “I used to try to act like it hurts less and less," she shared. “But I realize that it doesn’t actually ever hurt any less.”
Through it all, Justin continues to show his love and admiration for Hailey. On New Year’s Day, he shared a sweet Instagram Story, writing, “Goin anywhere with u bb.”
Despite the challenges of fame and public speculation, Justin and Hailey’s bond appears as strong as ever, proving that their love is more than just an Instagram headline.
