In the midst of the social media activity, Hailey made a surprising move this morning. The model unfollowed her husband on the platform. It’s unclear whether she did it by accident or on purpose. It could also be an early April Fools’ Day joke, as well; it is March 31. Justin still follows her on the platform.

Hailey’s Instagram Stories contain no hint of her motive; they are just regrams of her business Rhode Skin’s account. Daily Mail pointed out she did recently repost a TikTok where a user wrote, 'I’d be a terrible therapist [because] I’d want to see a pic of the person you’re crying about.'
TMZ have now spoken to sources who say the 'unfollowing' wasn't what it seemed like - it was actually a technical glitch. The celebrity site wrote: 'Sources tell TMZ that Justin briefly deactivated his account yesterday and then reactivated it - causing a glitch that makes it look like Hailey unfollowed him.'
Hailey was very supportive of her husband’s posting spree yesterday. She even commented a heart eyes emoji on his latest post.
This all comes just months after Justin briefly unfollowed her in January. He claimed it was not deliberate. He refollowed her and wrote on his Instagram Story, 'Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. Shit is getting suss out here.'
On March 21, a source spoke to People about the state of the Biebers’ marriage, shutting down speculation there was trouble. 'Things are fine,' the source said. 'Hailey’s working, and Justin’s creating music.'
The insider added, 'They are just doing their thing. They are not concerned what people think. [They] have a great life. They love being parents. They have a great marriage too.'
On February 24, a source told Us Weekly that Hailey has made a real effort to be there for her husband as he manages his mental health: 'Hailey is trying to be as supportive as possible. It can be hard for Hailey, but she’s always there for him and is understanding.'
Hailey spoke to W magazine last July about how upsetting speculation about her and Justin’s relationship has been. She revealed that she works with a therapist in order to not let the negative comments get to her. 'People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one,' she said. '"Oh, they’re falling apart. They hate each other. They’re getting divorced." It’s like people don’t want to believe that we’re happy. I used to try to act like it hurts less and less. I’ve tried to think that you get used to it at a certain point, that this is what’s going to be said and this is how people are going to be. But I realize that it doesn’t actually ever hurt any less.”'
