HAILEY Bieber has admitted to dressing like her husband Justin’s crush Rihanna after he fueled rumors of marital trouble on social media.
Earlier this month, Justin, 30, was caught liking an Instagram video of Rihanna in lingerie by fans.
On Thursday, Hailey, 27, posted a candid photo of Rihanna, 36, on her Instagram Story with the caption, “4eva the inspo.”
In the photo, the We Found Love singer showed her unique style as she donned a white crop top under a dark wash denim jacket and matching jeans.
The Grammy-winning artist donned a hooded green puffer coat over the jean jacket that she paired with a matching Supreme baseball cap.
Rihanna wore a colorful scarf wrapped over her hat and under her chin and completed the outfit with subtle jewelry.
Justin previously admitted to having a “crush” on the Barbadian singer.
He recently shared his appreciation when the star showed off her fit figure while modeling her new Savage X Fenty designs.
In an Instagram video, Rihanna wore pale green underwear as she rolled around in bed.
The Rude Boy singer smiled at the camera and adjusted her lingerie while posing in purple sheets monogrammed with “Savage X Fenty.”
Fans noticed that Justin liked the video before later un-liking it.
Haile also liked the clip.

“Justin liked Riri’s latest video about her lingerie brand Savage,” one wrote on Reddit, accompanied by a screenshot of the like.
“He literally likes and comments on everyone’s posts except [Hailey].. He didn’t even like the birthday post she made for him lol
“The way he ignores her as if she doesn’t exist is wild… I’m waiting for the damage control that Hailey will do now.”
“He did used to always say he has a crush on Rihanna. But it’s funny how he isn’t giving Hailey any attention,” another pointed out.
CRUSHED
In 2011, Justin – then 15 – admitted to Ellen DeGeneres that he had a “crush” on the Stay singer.
He later told Chelsea Handler that he asked Rihanna out at a Los Angeles NBA All-Star game.
“Yeah, I asked her out. It didn’t go so well since I’m not with her,” he confessed on Chelsea Lately.
“I asked her out and she was basically like, ‘You’re too young.'”
Rihanna was 23 at the time.
Another fan shared concern for Justin’s relationship with Hailey – whom he married in 2018.
“Even if they aren’t separated, they definitely don’t have a healthy relationship,” they commented on Reddit.
“It’s getting ridiculous,” someone else posted.
This isn’t the first time Justin has interacted with female singers on Instagram in recent weeks.
Last month, he followed Sabrina Carpenter and left a “flirty” comment on a birthday video of Madison Beer.
MARRIAGE TROUBLE?
Justin’s lingerie video “like” came amid rumors that his and Hailey’s romance was on the rocks.
There have been multiple sightings of Justin without his wife in recent months.
Hailey’s Stephen Baldwin, sparked concern for her marriage last month when he pleaded with fans to pray for the couple.
He urged fans to “take a moment to offer a little prayer” for Justin and Hailey in a video on Instagram.

SPOTTED TOGETHER

Hailey stopped to join their friends outside but Justin headed in the opposite direction – rushing away seemingly without saying goodbye to his spouse.
Other photos from the night paint a similar picture, capturing the duo socializing with their large friend group.
Justin, in a white baseball cap, stood on one side of the group and appeared to be chatting to a couple of women with a dog.

The duo’s unusual behavior appeared to contrast with their loved-up social media content.
