In a whirlwind of social media activity, Hailey Bieber, 28, seemingly unfollowed her husband, Justin Bieber, 31, on Instagram, stirring speculation about their relationship status. The incident, which occurred on March 31, 2025, caught the attention of fans who were already on high alert due to ongoing rumors of tension between the couple.
Justin had an unusually busy day on Instagram the previous day, posting eight new photos and sharing 17 Instagram Stories. Among these was a heartwarming post featuring his son, Jack Blues Bieber, and a close-up photo of Hailey set to Sade’s track, ‘Jezebel’. However, the situation took a turn when Hailey appeared to unfollow him, leading many to wonder if it was a sign of trouble in paradise.
As it turns out, the couple's social media mishap was merely a technical glitch. According to sources who spoke with TMZ, Justin had briefly deactivated and then reactivated his Instagram account, which caused the glitch that made it appear as if Hailey had unfollowed him. In a light-hearted attempt to clear the air, Hailey took to TikTok to clarify the situation, stating, “It’s a glitch. Didn’t unfollow him. Hope this helps!”
Despite the misunderstanding, Hailey showed her support for Justin’s posts by dropping a heart-eyes emoji in the comments of his latest Instagram update. This incident echoes a similar occurrence from January 2025, when Justin briefly unfollowed Hailey, later attributing it to unauthorized account activity. In that instance, he humorously remarked, “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. Shit is getting suss out here.”
Amid the social media scrutiny, a source told People on March 21 that the couple is doing well, stating, “Things are fine. Hailey’s working, and Justin’s creating music.” This sentiment was echoed by another insider who shared with Us Weekly that Hailey has been a strong support for Justin as he navigates his mental health challenges. The source emphasized, “They are just doing their thing. They are not concerned what people think. [They] have a great life. They love being parents. They have a great marriage too.”
Hailey has been candid about the emotional toll that public speculation about her marriage has taken on her. In a previous interview with W Magazine in July 2024, she expressed, “People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one. It’s like people don’t want to believe that we’re happy. I used to try to act like it hurts less and less. But I realize that it doesn’t actually ever hurt any less.”
In a heartfelt tribute to Hailey earlier this year, Justin referred to her as “the greatest woman I have and will ever know.” The couple, who tied the knot in 2018, renewed their vows in Hawaii last year, announcing their first pregnancy simultaneously. Their son, Jack Blues, was born in August 2024, marking a new chapter in their lives.
As Justin continues to share snippets of his life with followers, he has also been open about his struggles and growth. Earlier in March, he addressed the pressures of living in the public eye, revealing through an Instagram Story that he often feels unworthy and like a fraud. He candidly shared, “People told me my whole life, ‘Wow Justin, you deserve that,’ and I personally have always felt unworthy.”
Despite the occasional waves of negative speculation regarding his mental health, Justin’s representative has firmly denied rumors of drug use, labeling them as “absolutely not true” and calling the ongoing speculation “exhausting and pitiful.”
In a world where social media can often amplify misunderstandings, the Biebers seem determined to rise above the noise. With their strong bond and shared commitment to family, they continue to navigate the complexities of fame while nurturing their relationship. As they move forward, both Justin and Hailey appear focused on their family life and personal growth, proving that love can endure even amidst the chaos of public scrutiny.
