Hailey Bieber unfollows husband Justin Bieber on social media

Hailey Bieber has unfollowed her husband Justin Bieber on Instagram, and eagle-eyed fans think they have worked out what happened.

All eyes have been on the Biebers so far this year, following the birth of the couple's first baby in August 2024, and a string of strange social media encounters between the two.

Fans have been worried about their marriage of seven years, after it appeared that Hailey unfollowed her husband on Instagram earlier today (31 March), after re-posting several worrying TikTok clips.

The 28-year-old became a first-time mum to their son, Jack Bieber, late last year, and it seemed as though the couple were in a very solid place.

But it isn't the first time that one has unfollowed the other. In January, Justin unfollowed his wife, as people questioned whether this was the 'modern way of announcing a breakup'.

But the star later revealed that his Instagram account had been hacked, causing a stir online.

Moments after unfollowing her partner, fans noticed that Hailey had re-posted a TikTok about a 'terrible therapist'.

The video was captioned: "I'd be a terrible therapist [because] I'd want to see a pic of the person you're crying about."

She later shared another which spoke about trying to 'psychoanalyse people', which prompted fans to freak out that the two have called it quits.

But many have now worked out the reason why it appeared as though the model unfollowed her beau.

One fan said: "She didn't, it looks like everyone unfollowed Justin because he deactivated [his account] for 7 mins, It's normal now."

Another explained: "She didn't, when someone deactivates it takes a while for them to show up in someone's following."

A third noted that it was 'just a glitch'.

After clearing the messy situation up, fans turned to the singer's stories after he posted an affirmation.

Justin shared a quote which read: "God Brings, God Comes, God Lends, God Mends, God Reaches In, God Does, What I Could Never Do."

Both Hailey and Justin have shared snippets of their life as a family of three, but have chosen to protect Jack's identity by not showing any images of his face.

Upon announcing the birth of their baby to the world, an insider told People magazine: "They're both overjoyed.

"The baby is such a miracle. He's adorable and doing well. Hailey's doing well, too."

They added: "The pregnancy was something that they very much wished and prayed for."
