All within the same weekend, Justin Bieber called his wife Hailey Bieber "the greatest woman" he'll ever know and then… unfollowed her on Instagram. Huh? Let's rewind.
The Justice singer has been extremely active on social media over the last few days, posting photo dump after photo dump after photo dump of his vacation in Aspen, Colorado with wife Hailey, their dogs, a group of friends, and likely their almost six-month-old son Jack Blues. Per People, the Bieber fam was also joined in Aspen by their close friends Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
All seemed to be going well, with Justin all smiles in shots of him doing cold plunges, ice skating with Hailey, and seemingly recording new music. On Saturday, January 18, he reposted the photos of their ice skating date on his Instagram Stories, writing alongside a GIF of a heart: “The greatest woman I have and will ever know.”
Justin Bieber is no stranger to gushing over his wife on main, and did so earlier this month when ringing in the New Year. He posted Hailey's bikini-and-fur-coat thirst trap seen ‘round the world, with the caption, “Um / Goin anywhere with u bb / Happy new year.”
So why did he unfollow her on Instagram? On Tuesday, January 21, eagle-eyed fans (and tabloids) noticed that Justin unfollowed Hailey. That same morning, Justin took to Instagram Stories to debunk the rumors in a now-deleted post. “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,” he wrote against a plain white background. “Sh*t is gettting [sic] suss out here.” (At the time of writing, the couple is now following each other back once more.)
The couple have faced relentless swells of divorce rumors following the birth of their son Jack Blues in August 2024, despite reports that they have grown closer and fallen “even more in love” since little JB's arrival.
“Hailey has seen a whole different side to Justin since becoming a father and she’s more in love with him than ever," a source close to the couple told Page Six on December 26, 2024. Hailey Bieber appeared to shut down these rumors on her Instagram Stories on December 30 with a vague message to haters, and has shut down similar rumors multiple times in the past.
Now, even though the couple truly seems closer than ever, with this incident it seems like another wave of divorce rumors could reach its crest. Who knows, maybe the “someone” Justin is referring to is Jack Blues… he could've been playing with his dad's phone and tapped the wrong button. Kids, amirite?
