Justin Bieber and wife Hailey defiantly respond to rumoured marital issues with social media post

Justin and Hailey Bieber have defiantly responded to speculation regarding their reported martial woes with an unapologetic gesture.

On Thursday, the Baby hitmaker posted a series of photos on Instagram featuring the Rhode founder in an all-black outfit and retro sunglasses, standing outside his home studio.

However, what really caught fans attention was the model’s left hand, showing off her wedding ring while her middle finger was raised in defiance toward the camera.

The post, which had no caption, also included a candid shot of the beauty entrepreneur and a playful moment of her walking toward the Canadian singer.

Bieber, 31, had overlaid the post with K-Ci & JoJo’s track All My Life, which includes lyrics such as “I will never find another lover sweeter than you” and “all my life I prayed for someone like you.”

The 28-year-old later re-shared the photos to her Instagram Story, making it clear they were both unbothered by the negativity.

Then, just hours later he posted another tribute to Hailey, but this time the photo was taken from behind as she drove. This time, he opted for Beyonce's Irreplaceable as the song.

It comes as he also shared rare pics of their son, Jack.

However, this wasn’t their first subtle clapback to the reports on social media.

Just days before, the addressed the ongoing rumours about their marriage by sharing an old Instagram post from Hailey.

He highlighted her message, adding, “still relevant boo”.

"No matter how amazing life may look from the outside I struggle," the runway star wrote in the post. "I’m insecure, I’m fragile, I’m hurting, I have fears, I have doubts, I have anxiety, I get sad, I get angry."

She continued, "I have had more days than I can count where I’ve found myself scrolling through Instagram comparing myself, comparing my looks, feeling like I’m not good enough feeling like I lack so many things and really struggling to be confident in who I am because I constantly feel like I’m just not good enough.

“Every single day is a confidence battle for me."

Recently, the pop star shared an emotional post on social media where he admitted to feeling “like a fraud” and “unqualified most days.”

Bieber shot to fame in 2008 when he was discovered by talent manager Scooter Braun through his YouTube videos.

At just 13 years old, Bieber's talent for singing and performing quickly captivated audiences, leading to his first single, One Time, in 2009.

His debut album, My World, went platinum, and he became a global sensation with hits like Baby and Sorry.

His rise to fame marked the beginning of an era where social media played a huge role in launching the careers of young artists.

However, concern for the singer has been mounting in recent months.

Bieber recently posted a video of him and a friend rapping on a private jet about getting “high.”

The video was posted less than two days after representatives for the couple issued a joint statement denying that Justin is taking any illegal drugs and calling the public’s obsession over the singer’s mental and physical health “exhausting and pitiful”.
