Justin Bieber had an active day on Instagram yesterday, sharing eight new posts and 17 Instagram Stories. He shared a post with his son, Jack Bieber, and an Instagram Story featuring a close-up photo of Hailey Bieber set to Sade’s “Jezebel.”
During that time, he also briefly deactivated and reactivated his account, and that caused a tech issue where his wife, Hailey Bieber, appeared to unfollow him. Fans noticed Justin no longer appeared on Hailey’s following list this morning. Justin still follows her account.
However, Hailey did not actually unfollow her husband. She clarified what happened on a TikTok, writing, “It’s a glitch. Didn’t unfollow him. Hope this helps!”
Sources also spoke to TMZ about the glitch, explaining that Justin’s brief deactivation of his account caused it.
Hailey was very supportive of her husband’s Instagram posting spree yesterday. She even commented a heart eyes emoji on his latest post.
The tech issue comes after Justin briefly unfollowed Hailey in January. He claimed it was not deliberate. He refollowed her and wrote on his Instagram Story, “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. Shit is getting suss out here.”
On March 21, a source spoke to People about the state of the Biebers’ marriage, shutting down speculation there was trouble. “Things are fine,” the source said. “Hailey’s working, and Justin’s creating music.”
The insider added, “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.”
On February 24, a source told Us Weekly that Hailey has made a real effort to be there for her husband as he manages his mental health: “Hailey is trying to be as supportive as possible. It can be hard for Hailey, but she’s always there for him and is understanding.”
Hailey spoke to W magazine last July about how upsetting speculation about her and Justin’s relationship has been. She revealed that she works with a therapist in order to not let the negative comments get to her. “People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one,” she said. “‘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. I used to try to act like it hurts less and less. 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.”
