Social media sleuths were left scrambling after Hailey Bieber appeared to unfollow husband Justin Bieber on Instagram.
However, the model swiftly shut down speculation with a cheeky TikTok comment. “It’s a glitch. Didn’t unfollow him. Hope this helps!” she quipped, dismissing claims of marital strife.
THE HAILEY BIEBER INSTAGRAM DRAMA
The drama unfolded when eagle-eyed fans spotted Justin’s name missing from Hailey’s ‘Following’ list over the weekend, according to Page Six.
Panic set in – until sources revealed the culprit: a technical glitch triggered by Justin briefly deactivating his account. The glitch affected all his followers, not just Hailey.
Justin’s erratic Instagram activity had already raised eyebrows.
Hours before the glitch, he went live shirtless, rapping along to an unreleased track while his eyes looked droopy.
HEALTH CONCERNS FOR JUSTIN BIEBER
Fans buzzed about his wellbeing – but he bounced back with a series of mirror selfies, captioned “unbothered”.
Hailey showed her support with a heart-eye emoji under his post. The couple’s united front comes amid months of scrutiny, according to TMZ.
In January, Justin sparked chaos by unfollowing Hailey – only to blame a hacker and declare, “It is getting suss out here”.
DIVORCE RUMOURS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Despite the drama, insiders insist the pair are “deeply in love” and “dedicated to their marriage”, according to Hindustan Times.
They’ve been spotted on a sushi date in West Hollywood and grinning at Disneyland – sans their seven-month-old son, Jack.
Justin’s recent posts have included emotional musings about feeling “unworthy” and “drowning”, fuelling concerns.
Divorce rumours surrounding Justin and Hailey Bieber have persisted despite their repeated denials.
HAILEY BIEBER AND MOTHERHOOD
The pair, who welcomed their son Jack Blues in 2024, have been dogged by marital strife claims since becoming parents.
This was all exacerbated by Justin’s cryptic social media posts and erratic livestreams. Hailey admitted in a 2024 interview that constant scrutiny “hurts”.
MARRIED LIFE
But sources close to the couple tell People: “They cherish their roles as parents and have a wonderful marriage”.
The glitch isn’t the first time Instagram has caused chaos for the Biebers. Last year, Hailey clapped back at “blind items” about her marriage, calling them “100% wrong”.
