Justin Bieber seems to have addressed the recent speculation surrounding his marriage to Hailey Bieber with a simple yet pointed message.
In recent weeks, rumors have swirled around the couple’s relationship, with fans and media outlets speculating about a possible breakup between the 31-year-old pop star and his 28-year-old wife.

But on Sunday, Justin appeared to put those rumors to rest by sharing a set of serene sunset photos of the pair relaxing on a balcony. While Hailey’s face was only partially visible (one image showed just the back of her head) Justin made his message clear in the caption.
He wrote: “My forever n always.”
The couple’s history dates back to 2009 when they first met. They began dating in 2015 and rekindled their relationship in 2018 following Justin’s split from Selena Gomez. The two later married and welcomed their first child, a son named Jack, in August of last year.
In recent months, fans have voiced concerns over Justin’s behavior on social media, noting what appeared to be erratic or emotional posts. Earlier this year, for example, he caused a stir after briefly unfollowing Hailey on Instagram.
He quickly refollowed her and explained: “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife.”
A few months later, Hailey herself unfollowed Justin for a short period, but later claimed it was simply “a glitch.”
Despite their efforts to play down the incidents, reports have suggested that Hailey has become “really concerned” about Justin’s behavior. In April, he posted a lengthy and somewhat cryptic message addressing people who were, in his words, “jealous” of their marriage.
The following month, he surprised fans by revealing a past argument with Hailey while celebrating her first Vogue cover. In the since-deleted post, he shared how he once told her during a fight that she would “never be on the cover of Vogue.”

“Yikes, I know, so mean,” he wrote. “So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken. (sic)”
The post added to a string of puzzling messages that had left fans confused. More recently, Justin criticized “transactional relationships” and made emotional comments about “anger issues” and feeling “broken.”
The 31-year-old wrote on Instagram back on June 8 that he is "tired of transactional relationships".
"If I have to do something to be loved, that’s not love," Bieber added alongside a pair of black-and-white selfies.
Hailey, too, stirred conversation when she was seen without her wedding ring, fueling further split rumors. However, she later shut down the speculation by posting a mirror selfie that showed her ring clearly on her hand.
