It was only a matter of time before this happened: Only months into Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber’s whirlwind marriage, reports are surfacing there’s trouble in paradise. But Baldwin is getting in front of the rumors before they spin out of control.
On Monday morning, March 18, she took to her Instagram Story to issue a helpful reminder: “Don’t believe what ya read on the Internet folks,” she wrote, adding an eyeroll emoji and a holographic “FAKE NEWS” GIF sticker to reiterate her point. Baldwin didn’t explicitly state which piece of “news” sparked her rebuttal, but it’s safe to assume Us Weekly‘s recent report claiming the couple have “trust issues” was on her radar. Apparently, the Biebers are facing no such difficulties.
In their recent joint cover interview for Vogue, though, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin were refreshingly open about the issues they do have. “The thing is, marriage is very hard,” Baldwin said to the magazine. “That is the sentence you should lead with. It’s really effing hard.”
Bieber said he and Baldwin are still figuring out how to disagree in constructive ways. “We don’t want to lose each other,” he told Vogue. “We don’t want to say the wrong thing, and so we’ve been struggling with not expressing our emotions, which has been driving me absolutely crazy because I just need to express myself, and it’s been really difficult to get her to say what she feels.”
Baldwin also admitted to feeling lonely in her first weeks as a newlywed. Unfortunately, both she and Bieber have been inundated with messages from random people who don’t agree with their marriage. “I prayed to feel peace about the decision, and that’s where I landed,” she told Vogue. “I love him very much. I have loved him for a long time.”
