9 Times Justin Bieber Reminded Us That Being A Husband Isn’t Exactly His Strong Suit

    His husband era? Let’s just say it’s been patchy at best.

    Let’s just say… if marriage came with a Yelp review system, Justin might not be earning five stars. Now, before the Beliebers flood in with “but he’s grown so much!”—yes, people change. But sometimes, old habits (like forgetting to hold a car door, or uh, throwing casual shade at your wife) die hard. And when you’re a celebrity, they also get caught in 4K.

    Here are a few moments where Justin Bieber gave “married but meh” energy.

    1. When Justin said “Mother’s Day sucks” and the internet blinked.

    On a day when the world was out here posting tributes to moms and wives, Justin hopped on Instagram and declared, “Mother’s Day sucks.” Not even a softening emoji. Nothing.

    People were confused. Some were mad. Others were just… tired. Was it a joke? Was it directed at someone? Was he okay? We still don’t really know. But either way, it didn’t scream “I love and cherish the mother figure in my life”—especially considering Hailey is one.

    2. When he made fun of women who get excited about engagements.

    Instead of posting a sweet throwback to his own engagement or saying something mildly sentimental, Justin went the meme route. But not the aww kind. 

    He shared a meme, essentially calling women cringeworthy for being excited about one of the biggest milestones in their life. 

    Considering he’s married to someone who was excited to get engaged, it came off less as a joke and more as yet another weird dig.

    3. When he nearly shut the car door right in Hailey’s face.

    The clip says it all.

    Maybe he didn’t see her. Maybe it was just a split-second misread. But caught on camera, it looked like one of those moments where your partner forgets they’re not the only one in the scene.

    4. When he told Hailey she’d never land a Vogue cover.

    According to a now-viral post, Justin once told Hailey she'd never make the cover of Vogue. She later did. With and without him. 

    You’d think a supportive partner would say something like, “You’re going to be on every cover one day.” Instead, she apparently got a fashion industry diss track.

    5. When he basically said her looks were the only thing keeping him around.

    6. When he walked off like the red carpet was a solo gig.

    At the 2022 Grammys, Hailey and Justin hit the red carpet together—but barely looked like a team. Fans noticed an awkward moment when Hailey tried to get him to pose with her for the cameras. Instead of stepping in, Justin waved her off with a casual hand gesture and walked away. It wasn’t a dramatic scene, but it was telling. On a night where most couples bring the PDA, they brought… space.

    7. When he walked off through a crowd and didn’t notice Hailey tripping behind him.

    Justin made his way through a packed crowd on a skateboard, slipping through some silver railings without so much as a glance back. Hailey trips. Strangers react. Justin doesn’t.

    It was giving “every man for himself,” not “husband of the year.”

    8. When he posted a sweet photo… and captioned it with the middle finger emoji.

    9. When walking beside his wife feels like too much to ask.

    One thing fans can’t unsee? Justin’s complete inability to match Hailey’s pace—literally. Whether they’re leaving an event, walking through a crowd, or just heading to the car, he’s either ten steps ahead or trailing way behind. Never next to her. Never with her.

    It might seem small, but over time, it’s become one of those quiet details people can’t stop pointing out. Because walking beside someone? That’s like, day-one partner behavior.

    Over time, fans have started connecting the dots—and they’re not exactly giving Justin the benefit of the doubt anymore. What used to be brushed off as “just Justin being Justin” now feels like a pattern. From dismissive moments to offhand comments, people are noticing the vibe shift, and more and more of them are saying the quiet part out loud: they’re done pitching for him. The internet’s collective side-eye? Loud and growing.

    For months now, things between the couple have looked... shaky. Divorce rumours have been swirling, especially after Hailey quietly unfollowed Justin amid his cryptic Instagram posting spree. And just when fans thought it couldn’t get more obvious, she was recently spotted in New York with no wedding ring in sight. Coincidence? Maybe. But at this point, even the ring seems to be taking space.
