Justin Bieber’s Instagram presence has lately resembled a public breakdown with the 31-year-old singer posting cryptic or disarrayed updates nearly every day. As much of the internet sits idly by, however, there is a lingering feeling of tension.
In his recent post, though, Justin went soft, posting a series of romantic pictures with wife Hailey Bieber, 28. The two are huddled in an embrace, sharing a sweet sunset moment. But what really got everyone’s attention was Justin’s caption: ‘My forever n always 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕’
Fans Respond with Sarcasm
It’s not exactly routine for Justin to publicly gush over Hailey out of nowhere. So whenever he does, fans who’ve been tracking his unpredictable social media trail can’t help but freeze in surprise. This time was no different.
Online sarcasm soon caught on, wonderfully reflecting the general bewilderment. Comments came in like: “Zooms in to ensure it’s Hailey”, “Happy you like your wife today!!”, and “That doesn’t look like Hailey ????”.
There was snark, but some fans loved seeing this loving moment. Well-meaning appreciation filled the comment space with views like: “Beautiful couple ????”, “Love WINS❤️”, and “Sweetness”.
A Past of Unstable Posts
This softer tone is a far cry from Justin’s recent Instagram antics. The past few weeks have seen him utilize his 294 million-strong platform near-diva-like as a personal diary sharing everything from trivial feuds with buddies, to weird, close-up selfies, to snaps of his and Hailey’s 11-month-old son Jack Blues Bieber tagged with a middle finger emoji. These unpredictable posts have had followers flipping between bemusement, outrage, and very real concern.
Recently, Justin’s social media ‘appreciation’ of Hailey blew up in his face. In congratulating her on being featured on a Vogue cover, he was able to overshoot it by commenting that she’d never actually make it happen. That cringe-worthy misstep became a small PR meltdown.
So, this new post, if brief could be a subtle course adjustment for the couple’s public profile. It appears, at least for the time being, that Justin’s most definitely “standing on business when it comes to loving on Hailey!
