Justin Bieber has sparked fresh speculation about his marriage to Hailey Bieber after unfollowing her on Instagram, just weeks after Hailey dismissed rumors of trouble in paradise.
The couple, who have been together on and off since 2014, celebrated a significant milestone earlier this year by renewing their vows in May 2024. Their joy was further amplified three months later with the arrival of their baby boy, Jack Blues.
However, rumors of marital discord between Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber began circulating in December, and Justin's latest move is only fueling the fire.
Justin Bieber Unfollows Hailey Bieber on Instagram Amid Marital Rumors
Fans first noticed Justin’s unexpected social media move on Tuesday morning. The “Baby” singer’s cryptic decision to unfollow his wife led to an outpouring of reactions on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
One user speculated wildly, writing, “Apparently Justin Bieber is making a label for NewJeans and left his wife and baby.”
Another fan panicked, asking, “DID THEY SEPARATE?”
A third expressed concern for the couple’s five-month-old son, saying, “Hopefully this was a mistake, cause they just had a child.”
Not everyone believed the move signaled trouble. Some fans defended Justin, claiming it was likely an error. “This was 100% an accident. Justin Bieber just posted a sweet message to his wife, and Hailey Bieber liked his picture yesterday,” another user noted.

"You're not well and it's OK. You've done made a lot of choices. The choices that you made done put you in situations that you hate. You don't want to be in those situations," Hailey added. "You recognize every day when you wake up, 'F-ck, this is the reality that I made for myself.'"
Justin also seemed to brush off the rumors by publicly showing affection for Hailey, including commenting on her bikini photo, sharing a PDA-filled picture, and enjoying a cozy Colorado date night together.
