Fans of Justin and Hailey Bieber have shared their worries after some thought the couple had taken their bickering public, followed by a concerning post by the singer.
After the revelation that Justin had previously told his wife she'd never grace the cover of Vogue, the couple have raised more eyebrows when Justin published a Father's Day post to his Instagram.
In a since-deleted comment, Hailey appeared to be taking her revenge for a previous comment her husband had made on Mother's Day.
In May, Bieber posted a seemingly unkind comment about Mother's Day, which some saw as a swipe against his wife, who would be celebrating her first year as a mum to their son Jack Blues.

"Love u moms but mothers day sucks a**," the Canadian singer wrote at the time in an Instagram note, a feature only visible to mutual followers.
As Justin marked Father's Day, celebrated on June 16, with a black-and-white selfie and the caption "I'm a dad that’s not to be f**ked with," it was Hailey's comment that attracted their followers' attention.
In what seems to be a jab at his Mother's Day quip, Hailey wrote: "Father's Day sucks a**'".
The Rhodes entrepreneur's comment is no longer visible but fans have been monitoring the pair's social media activity since their latest tit-for-tat, with some worried that Justin's latest post could have a deeper meaning.
Following his multiple Father's Day posts, Justin has shared some screen grabs of an argument with an unnamed friend.
In his texts, the 'Baby' singer insists he would 'never suppress [his] emotions for someone' and that if the other person didn't like 'his anger', they didn't like him.
"My anger is a response to pain I have been thru," Justin continued.
"Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean."
When the other person pointed out they weren't used to 'someone lashing out' the singer called time on the friendship.
"I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out," he wrote. "This friendship is officially over."
While the comments don't directly refer to his relationship with his wife and son, a subsequent admission he has 'anger issues' in yet another Instagram post has sparked speculation of marital woes for the couple.
"I automatically thought this was Hailey lmaooo," one person commented on the text exchange.
"His wife somewhere reading these comments and feeling validated," was another comment.
"If this is how he talks to friends…poor Hailey :(" another concerned commented noted.
Some people offered advice to the singer, with many recommending therapy and some pointing out Bieber's post 'isn't the flex [he thinks] it is'.
"I don't know why this is even being put in public," another person wrote.
In a message to congratulate Hailey on being on the cover of Vogue in May, Justin revealed he had previously told his wife in spite during an argument that she'd never be on the cover of the fashion magazine.
"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," he wrote in the since-deleted caption.
"Yikes, I know, so mean. For some reason, because I felt so disrespected, I thought I gotta get even.
"I think as we mature, we realise that we're not helping anything by getting even.
"We're honestly just prolonging what we really want, which is intimacy and connection."
The comment was later deleted and replaced by a string of emojis, but the comments from women writing 'May this love never find me' are still visible.
