Gadzooks and golly gosh, gang! Justin Bieber appears to have unfollowed his wife Hailey on Instagram.
The exceedingly famous singer currently follows 804 people but his wife doesn't appear to be among them, though she continues to follow him.
Since Bieber possesses such magnitudes of fame to the point that he could scarcely sneeze without it provoking a major reaction, this lack of following on Instagram has caused waves among his fans.
Some fans think this has something to do with Selena Gomez, because apparently there are a legion of people on the internet just waiting to be activated and start chatting about Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez.

"Jelena shippers coming with their ancient theories," one wrote, while several others suggested it might be a 'PR team' move to get people to talk about them ahead of some new music releasing.
On the other hand, just a couple of days ago he was posting various pictures which included snaps of the couple out ice skating side by side so make of that what you will.
Meanwhile, she liked his most recent post where he commemorated MLK Day, so let us not decree that the end times have come just yet.

To those who've developed a parasocial fixation on Justin and Hailey's marriage it might be helpful to remember that one ought not to read too much into following and unfollowing each other on Instagram.
All it would take is the push of a wrong button to accidentally unfollow someone else and he might not even realise he's done it, so it might be wiser to listen to the fans who've been saying this was '100% an accident'.
The couple last year welcomed their first child together, a son called Jack Blues Bieber, with the choice coming from Bieber's own father whose middle name is Jack.
Some fans even thought the baby might be the culprit behind this, joking that this was 'Jack Blues Bieber tapping random buttons on his dad's phone' and telling people 'y'all need to chill'.

Y'all need to chill indeed, it's just the result of a tap of a button on Instagram.
"Omg new music is coming," was the verdict of one hopeful fan responding to this apparent development, while someone else said they were sure it was 'just a marketing thing'.
If he does have some music coming in the pipeline then that ought to be some good news for his fans. Bieber's last album was the 2021 volume Justice.
