Justin Bieber Says He Didn’t Unfollow Wife Hailey Bieber on Instagram: Here’s What Happened

All appears to be well in the Bieber household, even though Justin Bieber temporarily had fans wondering after his account unfollowed Hailey Bieber on Instagram this week. 

Shortly after the internet noticed that the “Baby” singer was no longer following his famous wife on the platform — prompting people to flood social media with questions regarding the couple’s relationship status — Justin cleared the air with a message on his Story Tuesday (Jan. 21).  

“SOMEONE WENT ON MY ACCOUNT AND UNFOLLOWED MY WIFE,” claimed the Grammy winner in the since-deleted post. “S–T IS GETTING SUSS OUT HERE.” 

Those who were confused can rest assured that Justin has re-followed Hailey on IG. The short-lived unfollowing saga comes just three days after he shared a sweet photo of himself and the Rhode Skin founder holding hands on a recent ice-skating date.  

The Biebers married in 2018 after years of on-and-off dating. In August 2024, the singer and model welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Jack Blues.  

The whole family recently went on a ski trip to Aspen, photos from which Justin also shared on Instagram. In one blurry snap, his 4-month-old son appears to be all bundled up while outside in the snow, and in another picture, the “Peaches” musician snuggles up with Jack.  

Justin has been taking time off from music for about four years, revealing in 2022 that he’d been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome and had “full paralysis” on one side of his face. His most recent album, Justice, spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2021. 

However, the artist appears to be in the process of teasing his next era. While in Aspen with his family, Justin also shared photos of himself producing a track on his computer and singing into a microphone in the studio. A few days before that, he uploaded a 24-second clip of a track he’s been working on, featuring the lyrics: “B–ch I’m takin’ bait/ I’m takin’ it/ You takin’ bait/ I’m shakin’ it/ You’re shakin’ it/ Shakin’ off the hate.”
