by CHARLOTTE DEAN FOR MAILONLINE · Mail OnlineJustin Bieber has insisted he didn't unfollow his wife Hailey and sensationally claimed someone has hacked his Instagram account and removed her.
The singer, 30, added to growing fears for his marriage by 'unfollowing' his wife Hailey in a move which shocked the couple's fans.
Justin is currently on a skiing holiday in Aspen, Colorado, with his wife of six years, however, eagle-eyed followers noticed he no longer follows Hailey.

On his Instagram Story, Justin wrote: 'Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. S*** getting suss out here'.
Mystery surrounding the couple's marriage has intensified ever since he unfollowed his father-in-law Stephen Baldwin, furthering speculation of relationship woes and concern for the star after he also shared a picture of a bong.
This latest move has added to fan's confusion, who shared their thoughts on X after it was posted online that Justin no longer follows Hailey's page.
Posting on the social media platform, they said: 'How jobless do you have to be to notice this'; 'Nobody safe LMFAOO'; 'New gen love'; 'Wow no way'; 'Are they done';
'Things are getting spicy... it is now Instagram official'.
Justin Bieber's recent Instagram unfollow spree, including unfollowing his father-in-law Stephen Baldwin, has sparked rumours of marital issues with Hailey. Fans are concerned, noting that Hailey has never followed her father on Instagram.
However some noted their current holiday and insisted that things are 'fine' between the pair, saying: 'They're literally in Aspen together rn'.
A reminder that this was only two days ago. They're fine. He most likely did it on accident. He still follows Rhode. All y'all can fkn relax on the Biebers.
During the trip to Colorado, a state where marijuana is legal, Justin posted photos with a bong between his legs.
He can be seen lighting before being pictured inhaling from the bong and exhaling the smoke.
In the comments section, fans were divided with some expressing concern for his marijuana use while others wanted to smoke with him.
One person wrote: 'You are a father. This is not your way.'
Another wrote: 'In another life we smoke bowls together,' and added the heart hands emoji.
A third wrote: 'I think it's hilarious that it is entirely normal for people to post photos of them drinking and even drinking as a form of getting through the day, aka mom culture, and everyone just giggles and thinks it's hilarious because they relate, yet a guy can't smoke a legal substance and it not be a problem.'
A fourth commented: 'I hope your ok buddy.'
Just late last year, the pair were embroiled in split speculation following their sixth wedding anniversary.
Fans speculated that the couple — who welcomed their first child, son Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024 — were experiencing marriage troubles when they seemingly had a concerning Instagram Story exchange with each other last month.
And recently, fans noticed that Justin unfollowed his father-in-law Stephen Baldwin, furthering social media speculation of marital woes.
The musician also raised eyebrows when he unfollowed a number of other notable names including his mentor Usher, his former manager Scooter Braun and Ryan Good, who was the best man at his wedding.
As he continues to tease an upcoming music release, fans are concerned that his relationship with his wife is on the rocks.
Based on his recent social media posts, however, their relationship seemed to be thriving as they enjoyed an ice skating date and hit the slopes with their famous pals.

On Reddit, one suggested that Justin's unfollowing spree is because 'he doesn't have to deal with her dad when the divorce happens.'

Meanwhile, another social media user penned: 'I mean, his own daughter doesn't follow him.'
'Um what's going on?' one fan questioned as another said that he must be 'entertaining himself by unfollowing and blocking toxic people i love it.'
Justin attempted to quash fears when he gushed about his wife during their snowy Aspen getaway this week.
On Saturday, he took to his Instagram Story to share a sneak peek into their family trip and posted a photo of the Rhode Skin founder.
In the black-and-white snapshot, she was bundled up in a long trench coat and a cashmere bandana scarf as she looked off in the distance and smiled.
He referred to his wife of over six years as 'the greatest woman I have and will ever know.'
The Peaches hitmaker also added a sticker of pink character with a heart-shaped face in its hands and kicking its feet adorably.
His post comes one day after he shared photos of himself in just his boxers as he took a cold plunge in the icy waters during their vacation.
On the same day, he also shared a snap of him enjoying the snowy outdoors with a friend.
