Pop superstar Justin Bieber has finally responded to the swirling divorce rumors between him and his wife, Hailey Bieber. The internet has been buzzing with speculations that the couple, who tied the knot in September 2018 and welcomed their first child in August 2024, might be heading for a split.
However, in a recent post on Instagram, Bieber shut down the noise and addressed the negativity surrounding his relationship. In what many believe is a subtle but firm clapback at critics and gossipmongers, the Canadian singer shared a deeply reflective message about forgiveness, grace, and public perception.
“That feeling of guilt can be relieved. Not by going to church or reading your Bible, but just receiving that God forgives. The message is forgiveness. Jesus forgives who the culture never forgives,” he wrote.
Acknowledging the harsh treatment he receives online, Bieber continued, “They treat me like ass out here, but if I remember that I’m flawed too and God forgave me, it helps me to stop feeling better than those who are mean and hurtful. Because when I am really honest, I can be mean and hurtful too.”
Justin Bieber then turned his attention to the false narratives being spun about his marriage, pointing out the root of the negativity: envy.
“My instinct is to be like, damn, I would not gossip, spread lies about someone on the internet, but there is other stuff I do I’m not proud of that God is gracious with. Hurt people hurt people.”
“Honestly, if I was you, it would be hard not to be jealous if I saw me and Hailey going so brazzzzzy. It is really up for us and that is understandable why people cannot stand it. I don’t blame them.”
With this statement, Bieber not only defended his marriage but also offered a perspective on grace, fame, and human imperfection.
