Celebrity couple Hailey and Justin Bieber , who have been married since 2018, are currently surrounded enjoying their first pregnancy, successfully evading a breakup amid rumors of domestic troubles. Having entered matrimony through a surprise courthouse ceremony in September 2018, following a whirlwind two-month engagement, the couple renowned for their high-profile relationship also recently celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary .
However, a noticeable reduction in the number of posts–down to 607 as of December 18, 2023–once sparked discussions, per The US Sun , about the state of their union. An anonymous source on a popular online forum suggested this could signal Hailey’s preparation for a significant life change, possibly a divorce, and rebranding away from her association with Justin. “There’s a theory that she’s archiving all her pre-Bieber yacht-baiting posts to gear up for a Christian pregnant housewife persona,” a fan commented.
Adding to the controversy, Hailey reshared a post on her Instagram Stories, that read, “You don’t get tired of being alone?” and “Me alone,” accompanied by images of her applying makeup, sleeping, and enjoying a cup of coffee. Behind the scenes, in October 2023, an insider revealed to Radar Online that the couple’s marriage might be experiencing strain. The source described Justin as exhibiting needy behavior with wife Hailey. An insider also claimed Hailey’s frustration peaked when she felt embarrassed by her better half’s ‘immature behavior’ at an event promoting her skincare brand, Rhode.

Hailey, a member of the well-known Baldwin family, is no stranger to the spotlight. Her father, Stephen Baldwin, is an actor noted for films like Posse and The Flintstones in Viva Las Vegas . This background, some speculated, made her well-suited to navigate the challenges of a high-profile marriage. Still, these reports and fan theories remained unconfirmed, with the couple themselves not making any official statements regarding their marital status. The Biebers, both high-profile figures constantly under media scrutiny, have previously navigated the complexities of a public relationship, including dealing with fans still attached to Justin’s past relationships.
