Justin Bieber’s seemingly erratic behavior and vulnerable social media posts have been fuelling rumours about his home life with wife Hailey Bieber.
The latest in a string of posts indicating he’s having a difficult time saw the 31-year-old post a clip to Instagram which made reference to the ‘silent treatment’.
Of the clips from content creators Justin posted on Monday, one said: ‘Bitch if you’re giving me the silent treatment at least tell me why!
‘I have anxiety and I have overthinking left and right they go hand-in-hand. If you give me any room for error, there will be error!’
Many fans have been left worried about Justin, while others have commented on the status of his relationship with Hailey, 28.
Hailey and Justin tied the knot with a civil ceremony in 2018, before throwing a star-studded 2019 wedding in South Carolina. The pair announced the birth of their son, Jack Blues, in August last year.
But the couple have endured a turbulent few months in the public eye. Here’s a rundown of everything that’s happened between Justin and Hailey since those rumours ramped up.
Justin unfollows Hailey
At the start of the year, the Baby hitmaker unfollowed the Rhode Beauty founder on Instagram, only to refollow her that same morning, writing on his Instagram story: ‘Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife.
Apparently claiming that someone got access to his account without his knowledge, he added: ‘S**t is getting suss out here.’
Hailey unfollows Justin
Then a couple of months later, it was Hailey’s turn to unfollow her husband for about two days.
When fans noted the move, she weighed in via a TikTok comment to claim that this too was an accident.
She wrote: ‘It’s a glitch. Didn’t unfollow him. Hope this helps!’
Hailey said to be ‘really concerned’ about Justin
After the double unfollowing happenstance, a source told Page Six that Hailey was ‘really concerned’ about him.
‘Justin is going through a hard time and Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there’s only so much she can do,’ they said to the publication.
Meanwhile, a different source told the Daily Mail that Hailey didn’t know ‘where to turn’ for ‘help’.
In a joint statement, the couple described concern over his health as ‘exhausting’ and said he was focused on new music and parenting their newborn son.
Justin fires back at ‘jealousy’ over his marriage with Hailey
Then in April, Justin’s posts started to become more erratic, as he shared a long and somewhat incoherent post calling out commentators as ‘jealous’ of his marriage.
‘They treat me like ass out here, but if I remember that I am flawed too and god forgave me,’ Justin said, adding: ‘It helps to stop feeling better than those people who are mean and hurtful.
‘Because when I’m really honest I can be mean and hurtful too.
‘My instinct is to be like damn I wouldn’t gossip and spread lies about someone on the internet but there’s other s**t I do I’m not proud of.’
The star continued: ‘And honestly if I was u it would be hard not to be jealous if I saw me and Hailey going as brazzzzyy.
‘It’s really up for us and that’s understandable why people can’t stand it,’ he said.
‘I don’t blame em. Hailey and I are the Jones’ that are impossible to keep up with.’
Justin posts and deletes ‘mean’ comment on Hailey
Most will remember this bit: when Hailey’s new Vogue cover dropped and Justin commemorated the milestone by sharing details of a Vogue-based fight they once had.
The dad-of-one wrote in May of how he had once told Hailey during ‘a huge fight’ that she would ‘never be on the cover of Vogue’. Evidently, he knew this was harsh: ‘Yikes, I know, so mean.’
He concluded his strange remarks by apologizing: ‘So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken.’
His followers were clearly baffled by his post and quickly flooded the comments section to question why he had shared this so publicly. The post was subsequently deleted.
Justin Bieber accused of leaving ‘creepy’ comment on 17-year-old’s Instagram
Bieber was then branded ‘creepy’ for what he wrote under Barbie actress Ariana Greenblatt’s post, given that she is 14 years his junior.
Ariana, 17, shared a slew of photos from the set of the Fear Street: Prom Queen premiere, in which she plays Christy Renault.
‘I love youuuuuuuuu’, Bieber wrote in a comment that Ariana liked on Instagram.
Ariana previously modelled for Hailey’s skincare brand and shared photos from the shoot, but it didn’t stop Instagram users from accusing Justin of trying to ‘flirt’ with the teenager.
As the conversation made its way to Reddit in a thread with thousands of comments, Bieber was reminded by users that Greenblatt is ‘a minor’.
Hailey spotted looking glum
Hailey was pictured looking glum as she left a private Los Angeles party hosted by Kylie Jenner last month, amid rampant speculation about her marriage.
Hailey joined Kendall Jenner, Khloé Kardashian and Kris Jenner in support of Kylie’s collaboration with London fashion designer Dilara Findikoglu.
Exiting The Bird Streets Club, Hailey wore a taupe-coloured fitted corset dress from Kylie’s own Khy collection – and a glum look upon her face.
Justin posts about ‘being sick of transactional relationships’
Justin next made waves on Instagram when he suggested love shouldn’t be conditional in a cryptic post of two black-and-white selfies.
He captioned them: ‘Tired of transactional relationships… If I have to do something to be loved… That’s not love.’
His fans flooded the comments with worried replies, with people urging him to ‘get help’.
‘I hope you know Beliebers still exist,’ wrote @iamazra.h, while @_r.ddd added: ‘Bro stop posting and get help I’m serious.’
Justin calls himself ‘broken’
Justin opened up about having ‘anger issues’ another series of social media posts, calling himself ‘broken’ in a raw statement.
‘People keep telling me to heal. Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I’m broken. I know I have anger issues,’ he began.
‘I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry,’ he continued, before referencing his strong Christian faith.
‘The harder I try to grow. The more focused on myself I am. Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others.’
‘Because honestly I’m exhausted with thinking about myself lately, aren’t you?’
He accompanied his post with a middle-finger emoji in the caption, the same as he had used in previous posts of Hailey Bieber and their son.
Hailey spotted without her ring – then with it
Amid continued speculation that the couple have hit the rocks, Hailey was seen without her wedding ring, while stepping out solo in New York City.
Justin then fueled speculation by sharing a grainy photo on a plane captioned with a broken heart emoji.
But just days later, Hailey shut the rumours down herself by posting a mirror selfie, in which her ring was on the non-phone-holding hand. The saga continues.
Metro contacted Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber’s representatives for comment.
