Justin Bieber Sets the Record Straight After Unfollowing Wife Hailey Bieber On Instagram
Justin Bieber is gonna tell you one time—he was hacked.
After the “Baby” singer unfollowed wife Hailey Bieber—with whom he shares 5-month-old son Jack Blues—and subsequently stirred drama online for the pointed social media activity, he explained himself.
“Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,” Justin wrote in a since-deleted Jan. 21 Instagram Story. “S--t is getting suss out here.”
E! News reached out to reps for Hailey regarding Justin’s social media activity but have not heard back.
And while the 30-year-old quickly refollowed the Rhode Beauty founder, many of his fans figured the eyebrow-raising move wasn’t intentional.
“This was 100% an accident,” one fan wrote on X before Justin issued his statement, “Justin bieber just posted a sweet message to his wife and Hailey Bieber liked his picture yesterday.”
Indeed, the “Yummy” artist—who’s been spending time with Hailey in Aspen, Colorado—recently sang his wife’s praises in a Jan. 18 Instagram Story, writing, “The greatest woman I have and will ever know.”
Meanwhile, Hailey has continued to push back on any speculation surrounding her and Justin’s relationship—maintaining amid several rounds of breakup rumors that the duo are going strong.
“People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one," Hailey explained to W magazine in an interview published last July. “‘Oh, they’re falling apart. They hate each other. They’re getting divorced.’ It’s like people don’t want to believe that we’re happy.”
Still, Hailey—who tied the knot with Justin in September 2018—admitted that it can be difficult being Justin’s one less lonely girl.
“I used to try to act like it hurts less and less," she continued. “I’ve tried to think that you get used to it at a certain point, that this is what’s going to be said and this is how people are going to be. But I realize that it doesn’t actually ever hurt any less.”

Amid the rumors, Justin’s love for Hailey continues to be as unconditional as it will ever get. As he wrote in an Instagram Story to Hailey Jan. 1, “Goin anywhere with u bb.”
