Justin Bieber told his model wife, Hailey. Bieber, that she would never be on the cover of Vogue just to “get even” during a fight.
The singer admitted he said some bitter words to Hailey while celebrating her newly-released Summer 2025 Vogue cover in an Instagram post Tuesday, May 20.
“Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight,” Justin began. “I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue. Yikes I know, so mean.”
Without elaborating on what they were fighting about, the singer recalled feeling “so disrespected” during their quarrel that he wanted to “get even.”
“I think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even,” he wrote. “We’re honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection.”
Justin ended his statement by apologizing to his wife.
“So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken,” he said.
Fans swiftly flocked to the comments section to react after Justin shared details of their private fight.
“You shoulda kept that to yourself baby,” one person commented on the post.
The first time Hailey appeared on the cover was alongside Justin for Vogue’s March 2019 issue. They were also featured together in Vogue Italia’s October 2020 issue.
She made her first solo debut on the cover of Vogue India in 2020. From there, she was featured on the cover of Vogue France in May 2022 and Vogue Australia in March 2023.
On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, Hailey’s Vogue US cover dropped along with an accompanying interview in which she reflected on her postpartum struggles and the ever-present rumors surrounding her and Justin’s marriage.
