Justin Bieber sparks divorce rumors by unfollowing Hailey

The story of Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber begins like a teen movie script. The couple first met a year after Justin appeared on "The Today Show." The then-15-year-old singer caught the attention of Hailey, who was two years his junior. As a teenager, she couldn't hide her enthusiasm, as she was already a huge fan of the pop star.

Their paths crossed again when Justin became socially involved with the Kardashian family. Hailey and Kendall Jenner were close friends, and they frequently had opportunities to meet Justin and the model. It wasn’t long before their wedding in 2018—first a civil ceremony and, a year later, a church ceremony. Media worldwide covered the event.

The young celebrities' lives have not been without crises. Just a few months after their wedding, rumors about problems in their relationship began to surface. Tabloids suggested the couple intended to divorce, citing informants who claimed the marriage was a rash and premature decision.

Despite ongoing speculation, Justin and Hailey managed to overcome difficulties. Despite Hailey's illness, her husband repeatedly assured her of his loyalty and dedication. Overcoming Hailey's health problems strengthened their relationship—until Justin made a move that caused a sensation among fans.

The 30-year-old singer recently unfollowed many people on Instagram, including Usher, Scooter Braun, and Stephen Baldwin, Hailey's father. Observant internet users quickly noticed that the celebrity stopped following his wife. Her name no longer appears on the list of people Justin still follows.

When couples remove each other from their Instagram follow lists, it usually means one thing—a breakup. It's no surprise that Justin and Hailey's fans raised alarms, and global media picked up the topic. However, it is still possible that Justin made a mistake and accidentally removed his wife from his Instagram followers, as she still follows her (yet) husband.
