Hailey Bieber responds after unfollowing husband Justin Bieber on social media

Hailey and Justin Bieber are never far from the spotlight, with the latest speculation coming after the pair's social media habits have been spotted by fans.

Last year, the couple were in the media for the birth of their first baby - a son named Jack - in August 2024 before now being picked up for their string of strange social media encounters.

Back in January, Justin unfollowed his wife on social media, as people questioned whether this was the 'modern way of announcing a breakup'. However, the star later revealed that his Instagram account had been hacked, causing a stir online.

But the pair have continued to be plagued with speculation that their marriage is in trouble and even potentially on the rocks, which certainly didn't help when fans noticed yesterday (31 March) that Hailey had unfollowed Justin on Instagram.

However, Hailey has now clarified that she hasn't purposefully unfollowed her other half.

She told fans through an Instagram comment: "It's a glitch. Didn't unfollow him. Hope this helps!"

It's thought that the glitch showing Hailey unfollowing Justin could be down to the singer deactivating his account before later restoring it.

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

And 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."
