Justin Bieber Defends His Marriage, Plus: How He Feels About Selena Gomez

Singer Justin Bieber is clapping back at a troll who criticized his marriage with Hailey Baldwin.

Bieber said on Instagram, “Why would I dedicate my whole life to someone in marriage to get back at my ex.”

“I absolutely loved and love Selena she will always hold a place in my heart,” Justin continued. “But I am head over heals (sic) in love with my wife and she is absolutely the BEST THING that has ever happened to me period.”

Bieber felt the need to respond, saying, “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' … Hailey is my Bride period if you don't like that or support that that means you don't support me.”

The 25-year-old's comment comes just hours after he announced that he was taking a break from music. He wrote, “I have been looking, seeking, trial and error as most of us do, I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep rooted issues that I have as most of us have, so that I don't fall apart, so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be. Music is very important to me but Nothing comes before my family and my health.”

Bieber also posted a pic of Hailey in bed before his lengthy response to the online bully.
