Justin Bieber stunned fans when he unfollowed several of his famous friends on Instagram. The singer shocked many when he decided to cut off contact with his former mentor, Usher. The Baby hitmaker became close with Usher at the start of his career. The R&B singer has even been credited for kickstarting Justin’s teenage fame. However, in another surprising move, Bieber has also opted to unfollow his father-in-law, actor Stephen Baldwin.
According to The U.S. Sun, Justin Bieber has scrubbed his Instagram account of his wife Hailey Bieber’s father, Stephen Baldwin. This comes just months after Justin and Hailey welcomed their first child together, son Jack Blues Bieber. The realization that Justin no longer follows Stephen has led some fans to believe there could be trouble in his marriage.
“Divorce on its way,” one person wrote via X.
“Hailey next,” said another.
“I’m not sad about this unfollowing spree at all,” a third person wrote.
“It’s so he doesn’t have to deal with her dad when the divorce happens,” a fourth comment read.
Justin Bieber Unfollows Father-In-Law Stephen Baldwin As Rumors Persist
The Biebers have been the subject of divorce rumors in the past. However, they’ve never spoken out about the speculation. Most recently, they’ve been said to be dealing with money issues, and many fans have wondered if Hailey’s spending is a big reason for any possible distress in their relationship.
Over the past months, Baldwin has taken heat for speaking out about Bieber’s relationship with his daughter. He even went as far as to reveal that Hailey is helping Justin “survive.” Stephen has also made some bizarre cryptic posts that many fans believed were aimed at Justin and Hailey. One was thought to allude to the scandal involving the singer’s former friend, Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently behind bars due to sexual misconduct allegations.
Things have allegedly gotten so bad between Justin and Stephen that he previously told Hailey he didn’t want their son spending time with her family. Sources previously told Heat World that Justin and Hailey agreed that having Jack around her family might not be the best idea.
The singer allegedly sees the Baldwin family much like his own brood. He reportedly thinks of them as dysfunctional and believes they don’t have his family’s best interest at heart. Meanwhile, Hailey has been rumored to be pulling away from her family over the past year as well.
It’s unclear if Justin Bieber has officially cut ties with Stephen Baldwin and the rest of Hailey Bieber’s family. However, he certainly seems to be making a big statement by unfollowing his father-in-law as well as many people he was previously very close to.
