Justin and Hailey Bieber's relationship has been making headlines in recent weeks following the singer's latest social media posts. Earlier this month, Justin shared a tribute to his wife Hailey to celebrate Mother's Day, but fans were confused by the sentiment. A week later, he posted about Hailey's first solo Vogue cover shoot and the accompanying message went viral.

Justin wrote on Instagram at the time: "Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight, I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue. Yikes I know, so mean... for some reason because I felt so disrespected I thought I gotta get even… So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken."

The backlash was loud and instant, and Justin soon changed his caption to just a series of emojis, but not before fans read it and judged his original words. One person wrote: "May this love never find me I’d rather be a cat lady," while another added: "Hailey deserves better."

However, sources close to the couple have now addressed the speculation surrounding their relationship, confirming that all is well between the pair. One source told Page Six: "It was his way of saying, 'I'm sorry for doubting you, congratulations.' That’s all it was. She knows his personality. They love each other. She’s been really good for him."

Meanwhile, a second source - who previously worked for Hailey and Justin - told the publication: "Hailey started off as a fan. She had to really prove herself to earn not just his love and the title of his wife, but the mother of his child. She’s really done a lot to make him feel safe … everything just being under a microscope, it’s a lot."

In her recent Vogue interview, Hailey touched on the impact that recent break-up rumours have had on her following the birth of their son, Jack Blues.
