Lee reposted it on his own Instagram account, sharing the interaction with the caption “J frickin B”. The Sorry singer has been worrying fans recently with his sudden erratic behaviour on social media: Bieber has regularly been posting incoherent messages on Instagram. It was also reported that Hailey Bieber briefly unfollowed her husband on Instagram, amid rumours of an impending split, concerning fans of the long-time couple.

But the former model took to TikTok soon after to clarify that she did not unfollow her husband, writing: “It’s a glitch. Didn’t unfollow him. Hope this helps!” The “glitch” was apparently owing to Bieber’s briefly deactivating and reactivating his account, causing it to seem as if Hailey had removed her husband from her “following” list, reported Page Six.

Recently, Bieber had a similar mishap when he unfollowed his wife on Instagram, later claiming his account had been hacked. {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"ImageObject","caption":"Min Woo Lee celebrates after winning the Texas Children’s Houston Open 2025.
