Justin and Hailey Bieber are proving they’re still a united front despite recent fan speculation over their relationship. The buzz began when eagle-eyed followers noticed Justin, 30, had unfollowed Hailey, 28, on Instagram earlier this week. However, the singer quickly clarified the situation, addressing the controversy in a since-deleted Instagram story: “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. Things are getting suss out here.”
The Rhode founder seemed unbothered, sharing a series of Instagram photos on Tuesday that included a candid shot of her husband nodding off during a quiet moment together. The photo comes amidst heightened fan conjecture and negativity surrounding the couple, who have been married since 2018.
This isn’t the first time Hailey has faced public scrutiny. Fans have frequently pitted her against Justin’s ex, Selena Gomez, and the relentless attention has even made Hailey hesitant about having children. She has previously admitted, “I want kids so bad, but I’m scared because of public scrutiny.” However, the couple recently welcomed their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, in August, marking a new chapter in their lives.

Justin’s recent Instagram activity also included unfollowing longtime manager Scooter Braun and mentor Usher earlier this month, adding fuel to the social media fire. While Braun’s account has since been deactivated, Justin’s actions left fans speculating about potential tension.
On the career front, Bieber has been relatively quiet since releasing his 2021 album Justice and gospel-inspired EP Freedom. Following his diagnosis with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2022, which caused facial nerve paralysis, the singer canceled the remainder of his world tour, prioritizing his health. “The exhaustion overtook me,” he shared at the time.
Despite the rumors, Justin has since re-followed Hailey on Instagram and continues to post moments from their life together, including snowy getaways and behind-the-scenes hints of potential new music. For now, the Biebers remain as close-knit as ever, navigating fame and speculation with resilience.
