On May 20th, in an Instagram post pop icon Justin Bieber apologized to wife Hailey Bieber for once telling her that “she would never be on the cover of Vogue” during a “huge” fight. The “Sorry” singer, 31, shared the apology while celebrating the fact that she is now on the magazine’s cover via US Today.
“Yikes I know, so mean,” Bieber wrote.
“For some reason because I felt disrespected. I thought I gotta get even. I think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even. We’re honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection.”
He then concluded by asking his wife for forgiveness, writing, “So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken.”
The Grammy winner later edited the caption to remove all of his remarks about Hailey and replace them with a simple series of emojis: “🤷🫵🏻🫶🏼🥹.”
Bieber’s post had comments criticizing his original message, with one follower writing, “I know your intentions in posting this were good, but the caption was disrespectful and nasty. This is a very happy moment for Hailey, let’s not take that away from her!”
Another comment argued that Bieber’s apology was ironic “because posting this caption instead of congratulating her” is “wild” and “mean,” while others mocked the singer for “airing dirty laundry.”
“Please shoot me dead if I ever got a VOGUE cover and my husband made this his caption about me. is justin bieber ok?” one X user wrote, while another viral post read, “when I’m in a who hates hailey bieber the most competition and my opponent is justin bieber.”
However, some fans defended Bieber and applauded his honesty, with one commenting on Instagram, “People think relationships are perfect and that there are no arguments, he was honest and everything is fine. Be happy, and let JB be happy. Who has never had a bad fight with their partner?”
