Canadian pop icon Justin Bieber has voiced his frustration with what he calls “transactional relationships,” revealing emotional exhaustion from constantly feeling the need to earn love.
Taking to Instagram, Bieber shared a candid message: “Tired of transactional relationships. If I have to do something to be loved, that’s not love.” His post quickly drew attention and prompted widespread speculation among fans.
Just weeks earlier, Bieber shared a similar sentiment in an Instagram Story, emphasizing that genuine love should be unconditional. “Love isn’t a ‘you get what you put in’ kinda thing. It’s a receiving thing. True love is freely given with no expectation,” he wrote.
These back-to-back posts have led to renewed speculation about potential issues in his marriage to model Hailey Bieber. However, in a recent May 20 interview with Vogue, Hailey dismissed the divorce rumors as completely unfounded, describing the buzz as “mind-f*ck.”
While Bieber has not directly addressed his relationship in these posts, his vulnerability has sparked conversations about emotional health, boundaries, and what real love should look like.
