Justin Bieber decided to show public love to his wife Hailey Bieber, but a random fan paid the price.

In an X, formerly known as Twitter, post, Justin shared a black and white photo of himself standing with Hailey.

Justin wore a white tank top with dark pants. He held coffee in his hand while wearing a pair of dark shades and smiling.

The popstar placed one arm behind his wife Hailey, who wore a dark cropped shirt.

She added a pair of ripped jeans and sealed her outfit with a smile at the camera.

Justin and Hailey have been putting on more of a united front lately.

However, what wasn’t seen in this picture, was a fan off the side of the show who he had removed.

He wrote, “Sorry to the gurl I cropped out of this pic I just love this pic of hails and I lol.”

Justin and Hailey have long since been the source of relationship speculation as many fans have criticized his treatment of her in public and online.

The pair first met in 2009 when Justin was an on-the-rise child star after Hailey’s father, Stephen Baldwin, introduced them. After a few years, the pair were openly friends and even attended church together on occasion.

Their relationship turned a bit messy when Justin notably dated Selena Gomez.

The on-again off-again relationship was spattered with ongoing insistence from Hailey that she was only friends with Justin.

When Justin and Selena finally split officially, he ended up with his now-wife.

In Sept. 2018, they got married in a courthouse wedding before their ceremony in front of friends and family in 2019.

In Oct. 2024, they welcomed their first baby boy.

Over the years, Justin’s eccentric social media posts and often shady behavior left fans wondering what was really going on behind the scenes.

In fact, in public, Justin has even seemed to snub his wife, intentionally or not, when paparazzi has been swarming.

During one encounter, he even slammed a door in her face while arriving at a cafe.

Knowing all that history, fans got to analyzing his recent post, wondering if they were truly a “happy couple.”

One fan said, “Nothing says ‘I love my wife’ like posting her only when people complain you don’t.

You can feel the obligation through the screen posting about Hailey, only because the internet keeps score.”

“Bro please go focus on your wife and child. What strangers think of you shouldn’t be your main focus,” said another fan.

A third added, “Bro you can take a man out of Ontario but never Ontario out of a man.”

Fans also expressed concern for his rather ragged appearance.

Beliebers, his doting fanbase, typically keep tabs on Justin as she’s often spoken up about his mental health.

Others had sympathies for the girl that was cropped.

“i think i would actually die if i was said girl,” one person wrote.
