Perez Hilton weighed in on Justin Bieber’s recent comments about what counted as cheating on Hailey Bieber during a new Twitch stream. In an October 28 article on his website, Hilton wrote that the 31-year-old singer’s “views on infidelity” were “a lot stricter” than what most people would consider cheating.
For context, during the Twitch stream referenced by Hilton, Justin Bieber told fans that even entertaining a lustful thought about another person could be equated with adultery. “If you even think of a woman with lust, it’s the same thing as actually doing it. Committing adultery, or whatever. It’s like the same thing if it even crosses your mind for one second,” the “Sorry” singer said.
Hilton reacted with surprise at the statement, noting that Bieber’s interpretation of infidelity toward Hailey Bieber was unusually rigid. “Justin Bieber has some strong views on cheating! Damn! Just thinking it? For one second?! With his marriage to Hailey Bieber going seven years strong, it must work pretty well for him, we guess,” Hilton remarked.
In his article, Perez Hilton also elaborated that while “everyone agrees cheating is bad,” there existed “a pretty big spectrum of what people consider to be cheating.” He pointed out that for some men, the boundary could be as strict as refusing to have dinner alone with another woman, while for others, “holding hands” was where the line got drawn. Hilton added that some people allowed “a bit more wiggle room short of going full force.”
### Perez Hilton Comments on Justin Bieber’s Explanation of Cheating
In the same article, Hilton noted that Justin Bieber’s perspective on faithfulness to Hailey Bieber “definitely” aligned with his Christian faith. “It’s a pretty common thing to hear among the most zealous in the flock and with the 31-year-old’s strong spirituality, it’s not surprising to hear he thinks this way,” the podcaster added.
Hilton also pointed out another striking comment Bieber made during the stream: “If you treat a man with anger or something, it’s the same as killing a man,” Hilton quoted. He responded to this statement with disbelief, writing that equating anger to murder was “a really messed up way to think.”
While acknowledging it was good to take responsibility for one’s negative thoughts, Hilton criticized Bieber’s outlook for “pretending” there was “no virtue in refusing to act on primal impulses.” He argued that blurring the line between thought and action was “problematic in two ways.”
First, it turned mere “intrusive thoughts into a mortal sin,” and second, if “thinking and doing” were the “same sin,” it could, in his view, “take some of the stigma off of going through with it.”

### Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber’s Alleged Divorce Rumors
Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber have been at the center of ongoing rumors about marriage troubles for nearly a year. Despite the constant speculation, the couple occasionally addressed these rumors and shut them down. Hailey Bieber has repeatedly and subtly dismissed the breakup chatter.
In a July 21, 2025, interview with *Vogue Italia*, the Rhode founder opened up about her postpartum journey and the divorce rumors surrounding her marriage. She spoke about the pressure of living in the public eye after welcoming her first child, Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024. She described the months following his birth as “the most delicate period” of her life. She also admitted that “learning to live with a new version” of herself had been challenging.
Hailey then addressed the alleged divorce speculations, explaining that navigating a major life transition while facing false stories about her marriage made the experience even more difficult. “And having to do all this while constantly reading falsehoods on the internet like ‘They’re getting divorced’ or ‘They’re no longer happy together’ is something that really drives you crazy. I’m not even sure I can explain it. It’s a crazy life,” she told *Vogue Italia*.
Her comments came shortly after Justin released his new album *Swag* in July, which featured several emotional tracks fans interpreted as reflections on his marriage and mental health. In the song “Walking Away,” Justin openly referenced moments of tension and self-reflection, singing about testing each other’s patience and needing space.
Yet, the track also reaffirmed the couple’s deep bond and commitment with lines like:
> “Baby, I ain’t walking away
> You were my diamond
> Gave you a ring
> I made you a promise
> I told you, ‘I’d change’
> It’s just human nature
> These growing pains
> And baby, I ain’t walking away.”
According to a *Us Weekly* report dated July 21, 2025, sources close to the couple said much of the speculation about their alleged divorce earlier in the year stemmed from the pressure Justin felt while working on the album. One insider explained that when the singer was in creative mode, he became “completely consumed and shuts everything else out,” which temporarily created emotional distance in the marriage.
However, with the album now out and well-received, both Justin and Hailey Bieber were reportedly at ease.
“There’s a sense of relief on both sides. Justin’s behavior has been more relaxed. He felt a lot of pressure hanging over him and has been in a better mental headspace these last few weeks. He is very happy there have been positive reviews of the album and that fans like it,” the insider said.
Despite the constant public scrutiny, the couple has always remained unfazed by such chatter. A source told *People* in November 2024 that the Biebers don’t take the rumors about their alleged divorce seriously. According to the source, both Justin and Hailey usually “laugh at the constant divorce rumors.” For them, it’s “annoying, but just noise.”
