Justin Bieber celebrated his first Father’s Day as a dad to son Jack Blues, born in August 2024, with a bold Instagram post captioned, “I’m a dad that’s not to be f***ed with,” featuring a black-and-white selfie and a middle finger emoji. While fans flooded the comments with congratulations, Hailey Bieber’s now-deleted reply, “Father’s Day sucks,” ignited widespread speculation about their marriage, per People.
Hailey’s comment, quickly removed, echoed Justin’s May 2025 Mother’s Day post, in which he wrote, “Mother’s Day sucks,” prompting questions about their dynamic, per Daily Mail. The couple, married since 2018, has faced persistent divorce rumours since Jack’s birth, which they’ve publicly denied, per TMZ.
Hailey, 28, remained silent on Father’s Day this year, skipping her usual social media tributes. Posts from @PopCrave and @BuzzingPop confused fans, with some interpreting her silence as a sign of personal tensions, while others thought it was playful.

The Biebers’ social media exchanges have drawn scrutiny before. In May 2025, Justin shared Hailey’s Vogue June cover, recalling a past fight where he claimed she’d “never” grace the magazine, later apologising, per Vogue. A June 12 paparazzi scuffle at Soho House Malibu further fueled estrangement rumours, per Page Six. Despite this, their joint appearances, like a September 2024 Met Gala red carpet, project unity, per E! News.

Celebrity culture analyst Dr. Sarah Kim from NYU notes, “The Biebers’ cryptic comments reflect the pressure of public parenthood, but deleted posts suggest calculated attention.” Social media posts show divided sentiment, defending their privacy and questioning their stability.
