LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hailey Bieber appeared to take aim at those who claimed that she and her pop star husband Justin Bieber were having marital problems.

Hailey Bieber responds to rumors of marital rift with Justin Bieber
Hailey Bieber reposted a TikTok video in an apparent attempt to respond to social media users who were speculating that her and Justin's marriage was in trouble.
The original video's creator, @eyegotthyme, looks directly into the camera and says, "You’re not well, and it’s okay," before playfully repeating the line.
Hailey added a hand-heart emoji to a repost of the popular TikTok video on her Instagram Stories and wrote, "[M]e to all of you on the internet."
Hailey shared her apparent response following a surge of social media videos claiming that the model and her husband's recent Instagram Story posts were in fact secret attacks on one another.
Sloan Hooks, a podcaster and self-described "pop culture investigator," has produced a video that has received over 4 million views, which lists the alleged facts that many others are also disseminating.

Hailey Bieber's post appeared to be a direct reaction to speculative videos on the social media site, including one by podcast host and pop culture commenter Sloan Hooks that received almost 500,000 likes, which implies that the couple has been engaged in a rather subtle online feud.
In the video, which was posted on Sunday, December 29, the TikToker stated, "I just received a tip about Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey, and it doesn’t look like things are going too well," as per People.
The TikTok user went on, citing examples that appeared to demonstrate the new parents shadily interacting with one another.
Using screenshots from Hailey's and Justin's Instagram Stories, Hooks began with a recent post from the Grammy-winning singer, where he posted a picture of himself alongside the Jacquees song 'B.E.D.' Hooks explained that the song was about a man who wants physical intimacy, not love.
Referring to an Instagram story that he said Hailey posted "20 minutes later," Hooks claimed it contained a passage from "a SZA song including lyrics ‘But if it’s f*** me, then f*** you'," which he suggested was a jab at Justin.
Besides providing additional evidence for his theory, Hooks included a picture Hailey shared of her friends Lori Harvey and Justine Skye using Rhode Beauty products during what looked to be a girls' trip to Anguilla.
Hooks said, "So I guess maybe Justin and Hailey aren’t spending the holidays together."
The TikToker continued by saying that "things start to get messy" between the couple after displaying a screenshot of a video that Justin posted online with the caption, "Coparenting is failing, like tf."
Hooks questioned whether the couple is "currently co-parenting" after getting married in 2018 and having a son named Jack Blues in August.
Hooks also brought up a post that he said was recently shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Justin's father, Jeremy Bieber, 49. "I have never known a parent that said ‘I wish I didn’t have a child'," Jeremy allegedly noted in a since-deleted post, per the New York Post.
Hooks described Jeremy's remark as "really weird with the timing." He said, "It’s holiday season," and added, "Hailey’s nowhere to be found."
In a recent video, the TikToker responded to Hailey's video on Monday, December 30, stating, "I’m not making any assumptions about this couple. Maybe that video was directed towards him cuz you don’t know me, Hailey."

The couple has previously had to deal with rumors of discord in their relationship or an impending divorce. "They laugh at the constant divorce rumors. It’s annoying but just noise," a source previously told People.
