Justin Bieber has caused a divide among fans of him and Hailey after his 'thirst trap' Instagram post prompted a surprising response from his wife.
Followers were quick to share their thoughts after Justin posted two photos on Monday (August 25), showing himself shirtless in a mirror with his Calvin Klein boxers visible under his shorts.
The 'Daisies' singer shared one full-body shot, followed by an image taken closer to just show off his face and torso.
In the caption, Justin included two tongue emojis and wrote: "thirstrap fa u h**s."

Seemingly just as Justin intended, the photos sent fans into a frenzy and amassed over 800,000 likes and hundreds of comments in a matter of hours.
Some fans claimed the post was leaving them distracted, with one writing: "Justin pls, I’m tryna work here," as another added: "THANK YOU SM! You knew we needed it this Monday."
However, one commenter who didn't seem so impressed with Justin's 'thirst' post was his wife of six years, Hailey. In her own comment, the model let pictures do the talking as she simply shared the eye-roll emoji.

Given that some interactions between Hailey and Justin recently have already left fans concerned about their relationship, Hailey's comment only seemed to add fuel to the fire.
It's possible Hailey may have been joking with her eye-roll, but many Instagram users appeared to take a stand as they argued that Justin shouldn't have shared such a post in the first place.
"He does realize he’s married, right?" one commenter wrote, adding: "I wonder how he would feel if his wife posted a picture and captioned it 'Here’s something for all the boys out there'."
A second user said: "You want her attention again or what? Is this a shade?"

Another added: "All right, I can’t defend this one."
Hailey's comment also received a lot of reactions of its own, with many people showing their appreciation for her emoji as they responded with their own laughing faces.
"I’m with hails," one penned.

Some users also pointed out that Justin's divisive post came just days after his son, Jack Blues, turned one on August 22.
"Nothing for his child’s 1 year … but a thirst trap while married lmaaooooo," one comment read.
Hailey celebrated their son's birthday with a post describing their little boy as 'joy personified', though Justin didn't add anything to his feed to mark the occasion.
However, the singer did praise his wife just a couple of hours before his 'thirst trap' post, sharing a photo of her and adding: "Love this picture of you baby gurrllll."
