Justin Bieber has attempted to shut down ongoing rumors about trouble in his marriage to Hailey Bieber by posting a series of affectionate photos on Instagram. On Sunday, July 28, he shared four cozy pictures showing him and Hailey embracing by the pool during sunset. Though Hailey’s face isn’t clearly visible, Justin captioned the post with the words “My forever n always.” While the gesture seemed intended to reassure fans, some remained skeptical. One Instagram user left a comment saying, “Zooms in to make sure it’s Hailey,” which quickly became the most liked under the post.
Speculation about the couple’s relationship has been circulating for several weeks. Reports surfaced that the two were going through a rough patch, with sources claiming that Justin had been acting erratically and that Hailey was giving him space to recover. Despite the rumors, the couple made a recent public appearance at DJ Martin Garrix’s show in Los Angeles, which appeared to be an effort to present a united front. Some fans have pointed to other moments, such as Justin’s controversial Mother’s Day post and Hailey’s solo Vogue cover, as signs of tension.
In addition to the romantic post, Justin shared a set of selfies with the caption “Detoxxxxxxxxxxx.” The sweaty images suggested he may be focusing on his physical and mental health. Over the past few years, Bieber has faced several personal challenges, including a battle with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2022 and his journey to sobriety, which began in 2014. He also shared a clip with his 10-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber, using eight heart-eye emojis, perhaps signaling a renewed focus on family life.
Professionally, Justin is preparing to launch his new athleisure brand SKYLRK on July 17, replacing his previous fashion label Drew House. He has collaborated with Neima Khaila and Finn Rush-Taylor on the project. Bieber has also recently ended several long-term professional relationships, including parting ways with manager Scooter Braun, bodyguards Keith Gibbs and Eric Johnson, and security guard Kenny Hamilton. He also separated from business manager Lou Taylor and former creative adviser Ryan Good, known as his “swagger coach.”
Though Justin’s Instagram posts seem to project stability, questions about the true state of his marriage persist. Some fans believe the affectionate post was a strategic move to quiet speculation, especially given that Hailey is barely visible in the pictures. Whether the couple is genuinely working through personal issues or simply managing public perception remains unclear.
