"The smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey," J.B. said in his wife's Vogue cover story.
Hailey Bieber is the latest celeb to grace the cover of Vogue, and she is not having it with the headlines surrounding her marriage to Justin Bieber. During her cover story interview, the Rhode founder got candid about all the recent headlines and divorce rumors.
"I read that one. There's a new headline every two days that makes no sense," she said, debunking a rumor that she and J.B. were moving to Europe in an attempt to save their relationship.
"I feel like I've fought so hard to try to get people to understand me, or know who I am, or see me for me. And people just don't want to sometimes," Hailey said of the chatter surrounding her life. "And there's nothing you can do about that. I've been in a position where I've tried to tell my side of a story or correct a narrative or tell the truth of a lie and then they go, Well, she's lying. Imagine how trapping that feels."
The model-turned-mogul also shared how Justin supported her when adjusting to life in the public eye. "I've learned so much from Justin, really. He's been doing this literally since he was a child and he has had to face the most scrutiny of any person that I know. He was like, 'Baby, trust me, I've been here before many, many times. You're not going to win. There is no winning.'"
During the cover story, Justin also broke his silence, defending Hailey and their marriage. "I've done a lot of dumb things in my life but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey," Justin wrote to the fashion publication. He added that Hailey is an "easy target" for fans and the media to speculate and spread rumors about.
"She's in the spotlight, and has the attention because of her effortless knack for style, business, art, and fashion," he said of his wife. "And the way she makes being a mom and wife look easy."
Hailey also took a moment to gush about Justin and their son, Jack Blues Bieber. "He's my priority. He is the most important thing to me," she said of her son, who was born in August 2024. "It's been my biggest teacher so far, the biggest teacher in my relationship. You see your partner so differently."
She added that Justin is "a natural" at raising their son, and he's "an amazing dad."
"I think you empathize with your parents a lot more. There's so much perspective that comes with it," she said of parenthood.
