Justin Bieber defended Hailey Baldwin after a "fan" claimed he only married her to get back at Selena Gomez. He urged fans to stop sending "hurtful" messages to his "bride". The commenter also brought up the fact that Hailey was previously linked to Shawn Mendes.

Justin Bieber has defended his wife Hailey after a "fan" left a negative comment about her on one of his recent Instagram photos.

An anti-"jailey" account accused Bieber of marrying Hailey "to get back at SG" [Selena Gomez]. The commenter also brought up the fact that Hailey was previously linked to Shawn Mendes.

Bieber fired back at the comment with a lengthy rebuke of the fan, calling the entire account "immature". He then reposted his response on Instagram stories with the caption "stop sending Hailey and I these messages. If you love me screenshot this and repost everywhere."

Bieber had a strong response to the "hurtful" message.

"Ur immature the fact that you have an account dedicated to dissing my wife and I is absolutely absurd," Justin wrote in his response."Why would I dedicate my whole life to someone in marriage to get back and [sic] my ex. Anyone who believes this is mean spirited or 10 years old or younger."

"I absolutely loved and love Selena she will always hold a place in my heart, but I am head over heals in love with my wife and she is absolutely the BEST THING that has ever happened to me period."

"I don't like to even give it my energy but this is a reply to all immature sick people who send Hailey hurtful messages like 'he always goes back to Selena' or 'Selena is better for him' YOU HAVE NO IDEA MY LIFE AND WHATS good for me!! Hailey is my bride period."

Hailey and Justin confirmed that they tied the knot back in September 2018. The two were first romantically linked in 2014, though their relationship was on an off over the years.

According to Justin's post, Hailey receives "hurtful messages" like these from people who express a preference for Justin's prior relationship with Selena Gomez. The two reportedly broke it off for the last time in the early part of 2018.

Earlier this week Justin shared an emotional Instagram post where he explained that he was focused on repairing his "deep rooted issues".
