Hailey Bieber gives savage message to critics amid news on Justin’s new album release

Hailey Bieber has used the news of her husband Justin Bieber's new album to send a sharply-worded message apparently aimed at critics questioning the state of their relationship.

Bieber surprised fans with the announcement of his new record, titled Swag, which is made up of 21 brand new songs.

The pop star shared a series of Instagram posts to promote the news, with clips featuring billboards of the album cover and its tracklist.

Both the cover and the track list indicate that Swag is a personal album for Bieber, who became a dad for the first time when Hailey gave birth to their son, Jack Blues, in August.

One of the tracks is titled 'Dadz Love', while another is called 'Therapy Session'.

Album artwork features all three members of the pop star's family, with Bieber stood with his back to the camera while Hailey can be seen holding Jack in the background.

The release of the album comes following weeks of speculation about the state of Bieber and Hailey's relationship, with some fans concerned the couple, who married in 2018, could be heading for divorce.

However, the album cover indicates they're still a team, and Hailey helped solidify that fact by promoting Bieber's album on her Instagram story.

Alongside her own photos of billboards featuring Swag, Hailey shared a snap of her and Bieber together, and a photo of the cover art featuring them with their son.

She included a caption with the image which appeared to be a response to the divorce rumors, reading: "Is it finally clocking to you f**king losers?"

As well as the caption being an apparent declaration that she and Bieber are going strong, it's also a reference to a recent video of Bieber in which he confronted a photographer trying to get pictures of him on Father's Day.

In the clip, Bieber said: "I'm a dad. I'm a husband. You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you. I'm standing on business."

After the clip went viral, Bieber sampled it in one of his new songs, titled 'Butterflies'.

Dropping in the midst of concerns about their relationship, the album has prompted a huge positive reaction from fans online.

"i cried happy tears," one fan commented on the album artwork of Hailey, Bieber and Jack Blues.

Another added: "justin bieber teasing a new era with a photoshoot: jack blues in diapers, hailey glowing, and justin looking like he just brought 2013 swag into fatherhood."

Swag is available to stream now.
