Justin Bieber Apologizes After Doubting Hailey’s Vogue Cover
JUSTIN BIEBER – The singer faced criticism after revealing a past argument with his wife, Hailey Bieber, in which he appeared to downplay her achievement of landing a Vogue magazine cover.
In an Instagram post, Justin admitted that during a fight, he told Hailey she would “never be on the cover of Vogue.” He later edited the caption, replacing the statement with emojis, but the original message drew backlash for being dismissive and insensitive.
Justin explained that his harsh words stemmed from feeling disrespected during the argument, which led him to react out of hurt and anger. He reflected on how growing older has taught him that trying to “get even” only delays the true goal in a relationship—intimacy and connection. He apologized to Hailey, admitting he was wrong to doubt her, saying, “I was sadly mistaken.”
Despite his apology, many social media users accused Justin of being narcissistic, pointing out that instead of simply congratulating Hailey, he made the moment about himself. Online comments criticized him for often overshadowing Hailey’s accomplishments and turning private matters into public drama.
In the wake of the controversy, Justin’s ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez—now engaged to Benny Blanco—shared a cryptic message about recognizing one’s worth and offering encouragement. Fans speculated that the message was directed at Hailey, especially since Selena had previously opened up about experiencing emotional abuse during her past relationship with Justin, in a 2020 interview with National Public Radio.
Hailey and Justin married in 2018 and have been together for six years. Recently, they welcomed their first child, Jack Blues.
Meanwhile, Justin Bieber is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and global pop icon who rose to fame as a teenager. He was discovered on YouTube in 2008 and quickly became a worldwide sensation with hits like “Baby,” “Sorry,” and “Love Yourself.” Known for his smooth vocals and catchy pop-R&B style, Bieber has won numerous awards and maintains a massive global fanbase.
