"You can't help but wonder: 'Does someone see something that I don't see?'"

Earlier this year, Justin Bieber spoke out against some of his fans, who were bombarding both his and wife Hailey's Instagram pages with abusive comments about her.

Many of these comments were from fans who believed that Justin and ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez were destined to be together. These comments suggested that he had only married Hailey to "get back" at Selena.

In a lengthy response to one fan's abusive comment, Justin said that the accusations about his marriage were “absurd”, and that while Selena will “always hold a place in [his] heart”, he’s “head over heels” in love with Hailey.

Speaking to Vogue Australia, Hailey said: "Nobody from the outside really knows what's going on between us. I wake up every morning with this person. I'm the only person that has direct dialogue with this person. This is my relationship. What's so tricky about mental health is that it can be easy to let people convince you of something that's not real."

She continued: "When I had hundreds of thousands of comments bombarding me with: 'He's never going to do this,' 'You're never going to that,' 'You'll be divorced by then,' you can't help but wonder: 'Does someone see something that I don't see?'"

Hailey added: "It starts to mess with your mind. But the only two people in a relationship are the two people in it. I've been working on retraining my thought process to understand that."

And Hailey also clarified comments she made early on in their marriage when she described her union with Justin as “really effing hard”.

Speaking to US Vogue, Hailey said at the time: "We’re two young people who are learning as we go. I’m not going to sit here and lie and say it’s all a magical fantasy. It’s always going to be hard. It’s a choice. You don’t feel it every single day. You don’t wake up every day saying, ‘I’m absolutely so in love and you are perfect.’ That’s not what being married is."

Now, after one year of marriage, she said has a different perspective.

Hailey explained: "I said that when we had first married ... Specifically, I said that when there were a lot of new things. I had never lived with someone before. I never had to cohabit with somebody in that way, so I was learning how to share space with someone for the first time. We were trying to bend in each other's direction and learn what was comfortable."
