All appears to be well in the Bieber household, even though Justin Bieber temporarily had fans wondering after his account unfollowed Hailey Bieber on Instagram this week.

Shortly after the internet noticed that the “Baby” singer was no longer following his famous wife on the platform — prompting people to flood social media with questions regarding the couple’s relationship status — Justin cleared the air with a message on his Story Tuesday (Jan. 21).


“SOMEONE WENT ON MY ACCOUNT AND UNFOLLOWED MY WIFE,” claimed the Grammy winner in the since-deleted post. “S–T IS GETTING SUSS OUT HERE.”

Those who were confused can rest assured that Justin has re-followed Hailey on IG. The short-lived unfollowing saga comes just three days after he shared a sweet photo of himself and the Rhode Skin founder holding hands on a recent ice-skating date.

The Biebers married in 2018 after years of on-and-off dating. In August 2024, the singer and model welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Jack Blues.

The whole family recently went on a ski trip to Aspen, photos from which Justin also shared on Instagram. In one blurry snap, his 4-month-old son appears to be all bundled up while outside in the snow, and in another picture, the “Peaches” musician snuggles up with Jack.

Justin has been taking time off from music for about four years, revealing in 2022 that he’d been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome and had “full paralysis” on one side of his face. His most recent album, Justice, spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2021.

However, the artist appears to be in the process of teasing his next era. While in Aspen with his family, Justin also shared photos of himself producing a track on his computer and singing into a microphone in the studio. A few days before that, he uploaded a 24-second clip of a track he’s been working on, featuring the lyrics: “B–ch I’m takin’ bait/ I’m takin’ it/ You takin’ bait/ I’m shakin’ it/ You’re shakin’ it/ Shakin’ off the hate.”

Billboard Canada 2025 Power Players List Revealed

By Richard Trapunski, Rosie Long Decter, Peony Hirwani, Stefano Rebuli and Heather Taylor-Singh

Billboard Canada Power Players is back for a second year, and it comes at a pivotal time for Canadian music. Canadian Content regulations – a principle that built the domestic industry – are up for review for the first time in a generation, with ongoing hearings taking place with the CRTC. The Online Streaming Act, meanwhile, is attempting to regulate major foreign streaming services to contribute to CanCon as the CRTC once did for radio, but companies like Spotify, Amazon and Apple Music aren't taking it without a fight.

Those issues shadow the industry, which has both struggles and successes. The country was recently named the 8th largest music market in the world by the IFPI and Toronto has emerged as a marquee live music market. That's been reflected in the successes and investments in new venues by companies like Live Nation Canada, MLSE and Oak View Group, though some festivals and promoters outside of their orbit have gone public with their own struggles.
