Justin Bieber raised eyebrows by sharing a cryptic Instagram story addressing the “silent treatment,” shortly after his wife Hailey Bieber stepped out without her wedding ring several times in New York City. The 31-year-old pop star reposted a video of a content creator uttering the words: "B*tch, if you're giving me the silent treatment at least tell me why." He then reposted a video that said, "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."
As for the Rhode founder, she previously dismissed rumors about their relationship, but recent sightings without her ring, and Bieber’s emotional social media posts, have fans wondering if trouble is brewing once again.
Hailey was first seen without the ring whilst eating breakfast at The Commerce Inn in the West Village, fueling speculation further. Later that same day, she was again spotted without the piece while lunching with fellow models Suki Waterhouse and Camila Morrone.
This isn’t the first time the celebrity couple has faced chatter about their relationship. Earlier this year, Hailey stirred controversy by briefly unfollowing Justin on Instagram but later dismissed rumors about marital discord as mere gossip.
Speaking to Vogue in May, Hailey said: “Well, I thought seven years in it would’ve (died down) already, and it hasn’t. You would think after having a child, people would maybe move on, chill out a little bit, but no. So I guess these b*tches are going to be mad.”
Justin’s latest candid comments come amid a pattern of emotionally charged social media posts, indicating a deeper personal struggle that resonates with fans. The star admits that he feels “broken” and has “anger issues.”
The singer said, “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. 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. The harder I try to grow, the more focused on myself I am.”
Justin continued, “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?”
Days after resharing the video, Justin posted black-and-white photos on Instagram on Monday, June 23, of his baby son Jack Blues, whom he welcomed in August 2024 with his wife Hailey Bieber, 28.
In the blurry shot, Bieber can be seen holding his son, whose tiny hands are gripping his dad’s face. “😞,” Bieber simply captioned the photo, offering fans a rare glimpse of vulnerability and tenderness. The other posts, just read: "🏀 lil bieber 🔒"
Despite attempts to downplay speculation, Hailey acknowledged that public interest remains relentless, demonstrating how their private struggles continue to attract the attention of fans.
