The claim surfaced in a post on X on Wednesday, January 28, on a popular handle called Hoops Crave.
The post came with a picture of Bieber and Hailey, accompanied by a caption saying, 'Justin Bieber and Hailey are reportedly getting a divorce.'
As of this writing, the post has garnered more than 3 million views with thousands of likes and shares.
Many in the comments believed the rumor to be true, while a few others expressed scepticism.
Fact Check: False, the claim originated as a satire
The claim, however, is false, as Hoops Crave, the page that posted the claim, is a parody account known for sharing satirical posts for entertainment purposes. The page’s bio states, "Parody account not affiliated with @PopCrave."
A Google search for the claim also returns no relevant results supporting it.
If the rumor were true, it would have made headlines with prominent entertainment media outlets widely covering the news.
A few hours ago, Hailey posted on her Instagram story about her husband's upcoming performance at the Grammy Awards. Hence, it is highly unlikely the couple is getting a divorce.
A fact check by Grok, the AI assistant of X, has also confirmed the rumor to be fake, stating, “No credible reports confirm Justin and Hailey Bieber are getting a divorce."
"Recent articles from People and TMZ (up to mid-2025) show them denying rumors, stating they're happy together with their son. The original post is from a parody account, so treat it as unverified.”
Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber's decade-long relationship
Hailey and Justin Bieber entered a month-long relationship in December 2015 before splitting up in January 2016, and later reconciled in June 2018.
The couple got engaged in July 2018 and confirmed in November 2018 that they were married.
They announced the birth of their son in August 2024, and currently reside in La Quinta, California.
