Hailey Bieber isn’t letting past jabs slide, especially when it comes to public digs from her husband, pop star Justin Bieber. The model and former Rhode founder made waves online this weekend after clapping back at Justin on his very first Father’s Day—mirroring the controversial comment he made on her first Mother’s Day earlier this year.
Instead of posting a heartfelt tribute to the Yummy singer in celebration of the occasion, Hailey left a blunt comment on his Father’s Day post that read: “Father’s Day sucks a.”**
The message echoed Justin’s own words just a month ago, when he posted “Mother’s Day sucks a”**—a remark fans widely criticized as insensitive, especially since it marked Hailey’s first Mother’s Day after the couple welcomed their son, Jack Blues Bieber.
At the time, the 30-year-old singer’s comment was slammed for being tone-deaf and dismissive of Hailey’s new role as a mother. Now, fans are calling Hailey’s retort a calculated and sharp response, delivered with perfect timing and icy precision.
Social media users were quick to pick sides, with some applauding Hailey for standing up for herself, while others criticized the pair for airing their grievances in public.
“Maybe if you two acted like mature adults being a responsible Mother and Father, Father’s Day would not suck,” one user commented, calling out the couple’s public back-and-forth.
Another wrote, “Is this all they do—complain about how terrible their lives are? Suck it up and move on already.” A third commenter didn’t hold back: “The only mature one in this family is the infant. Go figure.”
Despite the comment drama, it appears the couple still spent time together. Hailey later reposted a photo that Justin had shared—an image of her holding their 10-month-old son, suggesting the family did mark the occasion privately.
Hailey, 28, and Justin, 30, have been under the microscope for much of their relationship, but the birth of their son earlier this year has placed them under even more scrutiny as new parents. The couple has remained relatively private about their parenting journey but continues to draw attention with every public exchange, especially ones like this that spark debate about tone, timing, and maturity.
Whether Hailey’s comment was a genuine dig or playful payback remains up for interpretation, but one thing is clear: the Biebers continue to keep fans talking, even on holidays meant for celebration.
