“She’s the star, and he’s still catching up.”

Hailey Bieber is front and center on the summer cover of Vogue, looking gorgeous in Prada and glowing with Rhode beauty mogul energy. But while she’s basking in career wins, Justin Bieber is… well, writing odd Instagram captions and deleting them just as fast.

Apparently, during a recent past fight, Justin told Hailey she’d never land a Vogue cover. Awkward. He shared that nugget in a now-deleted caption, admitting he wanted to “get even” and that his comment was a reflection of his own immaturity. The internet did not love it. Fans quickly labeled the post as tone-deaf, calling him “unsupportive” before he replaced the caption with vague emojis.

The timing couldn’t be messier. While Hailey’s beauty brand is reportedly worth nearly a billion (yes, with a “b”… Kardashian+), Justin’s been raising eyebrows with strange public behavior, dropping out of his tour, and reportedly facing some money stress despite selling his music catalog in 2022.

Meanwhile, Hailey told Vogue that she keeps a small circle and prefers staying home, subtly hinting that things behind the scenes aren’t as glamorous as they seem. Still, sources say the couple is sticking together and she’s been a grounding force in his life.

“She had to really earn her place in his world,” one insider shared.

But let’s not act like it’s all perfect. Between weed-fueled IG Stories, Coachella chaos, and Justin hyping problematic celebs online, fans are wondering where this is all heading. And, so am I girl!

Hailey may be on the cover, but their marriage? Still under the microscope. Drop your comments below. Sorry @tyler, took over your Bieb obsessed writing.
