Justin Bieber has officially changed his Instagram handle to “@lilbieber,” sparking speculation from fans amid ongoing rumors of marital issues with wife Hailey Bieber.
The surprising update came just days after reports suggested that Bieber and Hailey have been facing relationship strain. According to Jenel Treza Albuquerque, a source close to the couple said that tensions have been rising due to differences in how each handles public attention.
“Justin has been getting irritated easily and feels like Hailey can be superficial about the way their relationship looks in the public eye,” the source said. Hailey, in turn, is reportedly upset by Justin sharing personal struggles online and “feels like he’s digging himself a hole” by continuing to post about their issues.
Despite these tensions, the couple is said to remain committed to their marriage. The source noted, “They believe they are soulmates and meant for each other. They’ll do anything to make it work.”
Fans were quick to connect the Instagram handle change to Bieber’s current emotional state, especially amid ongoing concerns about his mental health and public behavior. The switch to “lilbieber” is being interpreted by some as a signal of a personal or professional rebrand during a challenging time.
