Still, newlywed life came with its challenges, including intense public scrutiny. “In the beginning of our marriage, I just wanted to hide,” Hailey told the magazine. “I was like, ‘I don’t want people so in my business. I feel like everybody’s up my ass.’ I was like, ‘Can there be no anonymity? Can I have any of it back?'”
According to Elle, Hailey even decided to turn off public comments on her Instagram account last year because of trolling. “I remember someone telling me that [turning off the public comments] really lowers your engagement,” she added. “And I was like, ‘I could give a f–k about engagement! People are terrorizing me. Engagement, enschagement. I don’t care!'”
Hailey and Justin are also hounded by the paparazzi. So, the couple tries to keep their private life exactly that—private. They enjoy spending time at home with their friends, and Justin recently revealed he doesn’t have a cellphone.
