Justin Bieber recently found himself at the center of social media speculation after fans noticed he had unfollowed his wife, Hailey Bieber, on Instagram. The move sent fans into a frenzy, sparking rumors of a possible split between the couple. However, the pop star has since spoken out, offering an explanation for his actions and denying any intent to cause controversy.
In a now-deleted Instagram story, Justin clarified that someone else had accessed his account and unfollowed his wife. “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. S**t is getting suss out here,” he shared with his followers. The statement suggested that the action was not deliberate on his part. Alongside Hailey, other people including Justin’s former mentor Usher, music manager Scooter Braun, and even his father-in-law, Stephen Baldwin, were also unfollowed from his account.
Fans immediately took to social media to voice their concerns, questioning Justin’s actions. “Bruh, you just unfollowed your wife?” one follower commented under his recent Instagram post, which he shared in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Others followed suit, asking, “Why did you unfollow your wife?” and “What happened with Hailey?”
Despite Justin’s clarification, neither he nor Hailey has made a formal public statement to directly address the situation. This incident has only added fuel to the long-standing rumors about their relationship, which have occasionally surfaced over the years. In fact, Hailey herself has previously opened up about the constant scrutiny she faces regarding her marriage to the singer.
Last year, Hailey spoke to W Magazine about the relentless criticism, admitting that it takes a toll on her emotionally. “I used to try to act like it hurts less and less,” she said, reflecting on the negative comments and rumors that often surround her marriage. “But I realize that it doesn’t actually ever hurt any less,” she continued. Hailey also acknowledged that people often don’t want to believe that she and Justin are happy, despite the couple’s public shows of affection and support for each other.
While the reason behind the Instagram unfollow remains unclear, Justin’s latest comments suggest that he may have fallen victim to an account hack or unauthorized action. As of now, the couple has not made any official statements regarding the status of their relationship.
This is not the first time that Justin and Hailey have faced speculation about their marriage, but the couple has generally managed to stay strong in the face of public scrutiny. Fans will likely continue to keep a close eye on the couple’s social media activity for any further clues or updates about their relationship status.
