Justin Bieber is throwing it back to an old photo of his wife, Hailey Bieber.
In a Tuesday, March 18, Instagram Story, Justin, 31, uploaded a past photo of Hailey, now 28. In the close-up shot, she looks off into the distance as the sun beams down on her face.
Justin, who tied the knot with Hailey in 2018, set the image to Michael Jackson’s track “Remember the Times.” (Justin and Hailey are parents to 7-month-old son Jack Blues, whom they welcomed in August 2024.)
Justin’s most recent upload comes two months after he made headlines when fans noticed he stopped following Hailey on Instagram. Hours later, Justin clarified that he wasn’t the one to stop following his wife.
“Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,” he wrote via his Instagram Story in January. “S— is getting suss out here.”
The next month, Justin raised eyebrows when he shared a cryptic message. “It’s time to grow up … Changing is about letting go,” the post read, in part, via his Instagram Story. “You don’t work to mature … You let go to mature.”
“The weight isn’t on me to change … The weight is on God. So I give all my insecurities and my fears to him this morning,” the post continued. “Because I know he gladly takes it. Asking Jesus to genuinely help me with simply the next step today.”
As Justin sparked fan concern over his well-being, the musician’s rep told TMZ in February that rumors about him using drugs are “absolutely not true” and called the speculation “exhausting and pitiful.” The rep noted that speculation about Justin’s mental health and alleged drug use “shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”

Days later, Justin shared a video of himself rapping about being “high” before seemingly poking fun at the rumors by uploading photos of him riding on a bicycle while blowing out smoke and holding a bong in his hands.
Amid concern over his behavior, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Justin is “happier than he’s been in a long time” adding that “there’s no breakdown.” The insider noted that Justin “just really doesn’t care what people think.”
The source shared that Justin, who has also been spotted wearing minimal clothing while going to a spa, “knows he looks strange leaving spas shirtless, but it’s just him.”
The insider added, “And after the rumors he’s doing it out of spite now, he’s just being himself and won’t create a squeaky clean image just because the public wants him to.”
