Fans noticed Bieber unfollowed his wife on the platform, but she still followed her husbad.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed the Yummy hitmaker appeared to hit the "unfollow" button on Monday, but Hailey still kept her husband's page on her account.

She wrote: "Me to all of you on the Internet," over a TikTok she reposted that said: "You're not well and it's OK. You've done made a lot of choices. The choices that you made done put you in situations that you hate. You don't want to be in those situations. You recognize every day when you wake up, 'F--k, this is the reality that I made for myself.'"
Hailey also recently opened up about how the relentless criticism of her relationship to the singer has affected her.
She told W Magazine in July: "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.
"It’s like people don’t want to believe that we’re happy."

The source added: "She's grateful that Justin's helping so much with little Jack she's the first one to say what an incredible dad he is, but it's all the other stuff that's happening in his life right now that's weighing on him and she can't help but worry that it's going to break him."
