Justin Bieber has dec lared his love for wife Hailey after the couple were hit by split rumours

Justin now appears to have dispelled persistent rumours his life and marriage is in turmoil by sharing a photo of him with Hailey cuddling up on holiday in Spain.

He captioned the image with three pink heart emojis.

In the Instagram beach photo, Justin looked casual in a red bomber jacket, while Hailey opted for a sunny yellow and white pants set.

Alongside the beach imagery, Justin posted a villa snapshot on his Instagram account, featuring palm trees and a private pool.

Earlier in the week, Justin and Hailey were spotted at Gran Folies beach club enjoying an intimate lunch. Photos obtained by Page Six showed the singer with his hood up, sipping white wine, while Hailey savoured a Bloody Mary while wearing a bandana.

Despite the affectionate scenes, rumours of marital strain have endured.

In a Vogue interview in May, Hailey addressed the gossip directly, saying: "I thought seven years in it would've (started to fade) already, and it hasn't. So I guess these bitches are going to be mad."

But one source recently told Page Six: "Justin is going through a hard time and Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there's only so much she can do... Hailey loves Justin with all her heart but that doesn't necessarily mean she's happy."

Justin has also defended himself publicly, telling paparazzi on recent occasions that he's "a dad and just wants his privacy respected".

His and Hailey's romantic Spanish retreat marks their first significant public gestures of connection since the speculation began.
