Did Hailey Bieber Unfollow Justin Bieber? She Just Set The Record Straight

Hailey Bieber is setting the record straight after the internet erupted with rumors that she unfollowed her husband, Justin Bieber, on Instagram.

Speculation began swirling over the weekend when fans noticed Justin Bieber appeared to be missing from Hailey Bieber’s “Following” list.

However, according to the Rhode founder, the entire ordeal was nothing more than a technical issue.

“Didn’t unfollow him. Hope this helps!” Hailey clarified in a TikTok comment, per Page Six, on Monday, responding to one user’s video analyzing the supposed social media snub.

The confusion was seemingly sparked by Justin temporarily deactivating his account following a bizarre livestream in which he appeared shirtless and rapped along to a new track. Viewers were quick to point out the singer's droopy eyes and offbeat energy, raising concerns about his well-being.

After the livestream, Justin briefly disappeared from Instagram, only to return shortly after with a series of shirtless mirror selfies. Hailey showed her support by dropping a heart-eyes emoji in the comments.

As of Monday, Justin is absent from several people’s “Following” lists, not just Hailey’s, further suggesting the issue was part of a wider glitch on the platform. Meta, Instagram’s parent company, has yet to comment on the technical hiccup.

It’s not the first time the couple has had to shut down online speculation about their relationship.

Back in January, Justin claimed that “someone went on [his] account and unfollowed [his] wife” after fans noticed he was no longer following her.

“Sh-t is getting suss out here,” he added at the time.

The duo, who tied the knot in 2018, rarely speak publicly about their marriage, but Justin has recently defended Hailey from online critics. Earlier this month, he “liked” a post that took aim at “jobless people tearing Hailey Bieber apart” and later posted a photo of her to his feed.

The couple also made headlines with a rare public appearance during a date night at Disneyland and another outing to Hollywood hotspot Sushi Park. Their 7-month-old son, Jack Blues, was not seen with them during the low-key outings, though the pair has occasionally shared glimpses of their baby boy on social media.

As rumors swirl around the state of Hailey and Justin Bieber’s marriage, a recent public appearance by the model has reignited speculation about the couple’s relationship and her well-being.

The Rhode founder’s solo outing came on the heels of months of growing concern over Justin’s health and behavior. The "Baby" singer has drawn attention for looking noticeably gaunt and disheveled in recent paparazzi photos, while social media posts of him smoking have fueled fears of a possible relapse.

Behind the scenes, insiders suggest this has been weighing heavily on Hailey.

“Hailey's been struggling with Justin almost since the start of the marriage,” a source told the Daily Mail. “She loves him madly, but he's a loose cannon. Some of her friends have advised her to go it alone and leave him.”

The source didn’t mince words when describing their dynamic. “His behavior is sometimes unacceptable. She's put up with a lot," they claimed.

According to the insider, Hailey had hoped the birth of their son would bring change. “When the baby was born, he was there for her, and she thought being a father would change him for the better, but it hasn't stuck.”

Now, with parenting duties and professional obligations colliding, the couple appears to be facing not just emotional strain but logistical challenges, too. While Justin seems to be spending more time at home, Hailey’s career shows no signs of slowing down.

A source close to the couple painted a picture of two very different daily lives:

“She is taking meetings here and there for new projects, she is super busy with her brand, which is doing better than she ever expected. It is a wonderful thing. She can create an empire, and she likely will. She is very driven and she is a planner. She has guts and thinks like a CEO.”

In contrast, Justin’s approach appears more laid-back. “He is always working on music and toying with new ideas; he always has a guitar in his hand; he is super creative, but he does not work as much as she does,” the source added.

“Justin already has so much success behind him, he is comfortable, he doesn't need to prove anything.”
