Original story:
Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, have been raising eyebrows for their social media activity — but what is really going on?
Eagle-eyed fans noticed on Sunday, March 30, that Hailey, 28, was no longer following her husband on Instagram. However, Us Weekly can confirm that Justin, 31, deactivated and then reactivated his account — which threw the cache system into a glitch.
Two months earlier, users noticed that Justin stopped following Hailey on Instagram. Justin clarified hours later that he wasn’t the one to unfollow 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 couple, who wed in 2018, have since shared several photos of their intimate date-nights and family time with their son. (The pair welcomed son Jack Blues in August 2024). In celebration of Valentine’s Day in February, Justin and Hailey showed off their outfits via Instagram for their loved-up occasion.

That same month, Justin made headlines for sharing a cryptic message via Instagram. “It’s time to grow up … Changing is about letting go,” the post read, in part. “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 concern grew for Justin’s well-being, the musician’s rep told TMZ that rumors about him using hard drugs are “absolutely not true” and called the speculation “exhausting and pitiful.” His rep called the rumors 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.” Despite speculation about Justin’s behavior, a source exclusively told Us that he is “happier than he’s been in a long time.” The insider added that “there’s no breakdown,” noting that he “just really doesn’t care what people think.”

Earlier this month, Justin got candid about living his life in the public eye. “People told me my whole life, ‘Wow Justin, u deserve that’ and I personally have always felt unworthy,” Justin wrote via his Instagram Story. “Like I was a fraud. Like when people told me I deserve something, it made me feel sneaky, like, damn if they only knew my thoughts. How judgmental I am, how selfish I really am. They wouldn’t be saying this.”
He continued, “I say all this to say if you feel sneaky, welcome to the club. I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days.”
