HAILEY Bieber has admitted to dressing like husband Justin’s crush Rihanna after fueling rumors of marital problems 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, to her Instagram Story with the caption “4eva the inspo.”
In the photo, the We Found Love singer showed off her unique style by donning a white crop top under a dark denim jacket and matching jeans.
The Grammy-winning artist donned a green hooded puffer jacket over the denim jacket which 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 over in bed.
The Rude Boy singer smiled for the camera and adjusted her lingerie while posing in purple sheets monogrammed “Savage X Fenty.”
Fans noticed that Justin had liked the video before disliking it.
Haile also liked the clip.
“Justin liked Riri’s latest video about her lingerie brand Savage,” one wrote on Reddit, along with a similar screenshot.
“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 like she doesn’t exist is wild…I’m waiting for the damage control Hailey is going to do now.”
“He used to always say he had a crush on Rihanna. But it’s funny how he doesn’t pay any attention to Hailey,” pointed out another.
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 invited Rihanna to an NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles.
“Yeah, I asked her out. It didn’t go very well since I’m not with her,” he admitted on Chelsea Lately.
“I asked her out and she said, ‘You’re too young.'”
Rihanna was 23 at the time.
Another fan shared their concern over Justin’s relationship with Hailey – who he married in 2018.
“Even though they’re not separated, they definitely don’t have a healthy relationship,” they commented on Reddit.
“This is getting ridiculous,” someone else posted.
This isn’t the first time Justin has interacted with singers on Instagram in recent weeks.
Last month, he followed Sabrina Carpenter and left a “loving” comment on a Madison Beer birthday video.
MARRIAGE PROBLEMS?
Justin’s lingerie video like came amid rumors that his romance with Hailey was on the rocks.
Justin has been spotted several times without his wife in recent months.
Hailey’s Stephen Baldwin sparked concerns over his marriage last month when he begged his 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.
