When it comes to celebrity relationships, it’s hard to filter out the vicious rumors that inevitably spread from the glossy, perfect pictures painted on social media. Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey have seen some major ups and downs in their six years of marriage, and evidence began mounting over the holidays that there might be trouble in Bieber paradise. Despite their attempts to dispel such rumors, many reported Instagram proof of marital strife, but what happened to the receipts?
Page Six and other sources report that Justin Bieber unfollowed Hailey Bieber on Instagram — offering a screenshot from Justin’s account that did not show his wife’s name in a search of people he's Following. However, as of this writing, the “Baby” singer was following her again. TMZ then reported that Justin Bieber had been hacked, with the two-time Grammy winner reportedly posting a Story that said in all caps:
Someone went on my account and unfollowd my wife. Shit is getting suss out here.
I would have to agree, because as of this writing, THAT message is no longer on Justin Bieber's account.
Was Justin Bieber hacked? Did the singer temporarily unfollow his wife? Either way, for what’s it’s worth, both of the Biebers are currently following each other. Despite neither of their social media accounts currently showing anything to make fans suspicious, this strange turn of events isn't going to do much to quiet those who were already convinced the new parents have been struggling lately.
Hailey Bieber just gave birth to her and Justin Bieber's first child, Jack Blues, in August, and despite reports that the "Peaches" singer is a great dad, it wasn't long before fans started getting suspicious. After Selena Gomez got engaged to Benny Blanco, some people thought Justin tried to send a secret message to his ex-girlfriend through social media.
That wasn't the only social media clue regarding struggles in Justin Bieber's life. After he posted a message about faith, it was rumored that he had been struggling to process P. Diddy's arrest and the accusations against the music mogul. That seems understandable, especially given that old videos of the two of them partying together (when Bieber was just 15 years old) resurfaced.
The speculation that Justin Bieber's troubles might include his marriage really ramped up around the holidays, when a TikToker went viral with allegations that Hailey Bieber spent Christmas away from her husband, vacationing with some friends in the Caribbean, and Justin posted an Instagram Story with lyrics referencing wanting to have casual hookups.
Hailey Bieber dismissed the rumor mill, and Justin similarly took action to prove the haters wrong by posting a New Year's photo of his wife in a bikini and saying he's "Goin anywhere with u bb."
It's hard to say for sure what's going on with the Biebers, but the current social media hijinks are certainly raising some eyebrows. There's no doubt the eagle-eyed fandom will be keeping a close eye on this couple and reading into everything in search of answers. Stay tuned.
