Madison Beer Clears Instagram Highlights, Sparks Breakup Rumors with Justin Herbert - But Is It Really Over?
It doesn’t take much to set social media ablaze these days - just ask Madison Beer and Justin Herbert. Over the weekend, Beer was turning heads at the Grammys in a show-stopping black dress, commanding attention on one of music’s biggest nights. But while the cameras were flashing on the red carpet, fans were just as focused on what wasn’t showing up - specifically, on her Instagram profile.
On the same day as the Grammys, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Beer had wiped all of her Instagram highlights - years’ worth of archived stories, gone in a flash. That move alone was enough to send the internet into a frenzy, with many speculating that it signaled a breakup between the pop star and the Los Angeles Chargers quarterback.
The timing raised eyebrows. Just days earlier, the two were spotted together at Clive Davis’ pre-Grammys party, seemingly very much still a couple.
And this wasn’t just a casual link-up - Beer and Herbert have been publicly connected since mid-2025, showing up at Chargers games and other events. They made things Instagram-official in their own way when cameras captured a sideline kiss during the NFL season, a moment that quickly went viral.
So what gives?
The Instagram clear-out happened shortly after the release of Beer’s latest album, Locket, which dropped in January and debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 - a career-best for her, with 43,000 equivalent album units sold in the U.S. Some fans believe the social media reset is more about a fresh chapter in her professional life than a signal of trouble in her personal one.
Still, that didn’t stop the speculation from snowballing. Screenshots of her profile “before and after” the archive purge made the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), with posts racking up thousands of likes. One viral comment joked, “Don’t tell me Justin Herbert fumbles in February too,” poking fun at the Chargers’ continued playoff struggles and the quarterback’s unlucky postseason track record.
But here’s the reality: the couple was just seen together days ago. There’s no official word of a breakup, and the timing of the Instagram change - following a tough playoff exit for Herbert and the Chargers - may have simply been coincidental.
For now, Herbert is back to the grind, focused on turning the page after another disappointing playoff run. The pressure’s on for the Chargers to finally break through, and Herbert knows the clock is ticking. Meanwhile, Beer is riding high off a major career moment, with Locket making waves and putting her firmly in the pop spotlight.
So while fans may be reading between the (Instagram) lines, all signs point to this being more of a digital refresh than a relationship reset.
