Justin Bieber sought to counter months of speculation about his marriage by posting a series of sunset photographs on Instagram on 6 July that showed him embracing his wife, model-entrepreneur Hailey Bieber, and captioning the images “My forever n always.” The upload came only hours after the pop singer had shared close-up, sweat-drenched “detox” selfies that prompted fresh concern among followers about his health and social-media behaviour. Entertainment outlets including Page Six, People and Us Weekly say the 31-year-old musician is spending time in a luxury villa in Mallorca as part of a self-described detox programme. The retreat follows reports that Hailey, 28, has felt “drained” and was taking the lead in caring for the couple’s 10-month-old son, Jack Blues, while Bieber works through what sources have called “a difficult time.” The couple, who wed in 2018 after an on-off relationship that began in 2015, have repeatedly denied divorce rumours. In a Vogue interview published in May, Hailey acknowledged that postpartum challenges and persistent tabloid scrutiny have weighed on the family but said the pair remain committed to each other. Bieber’s latest public declaration of affection is his most explicit bid yet to rebut talk of an impending split.
