The cover was shot to honor the photographer Helmut Newton, and specifically referenced his devotion to his wife, June Newton. And one of the most daring photos included a quote from Newton: "My heart is where my wife is."
The shoot definitely honored this romance, and Hailey and Justin were the perfect celebrity couple to step in for the cover.
However, not everyone was a fan of the shoot. One Instagram user commented,
"I’ve never seen a couple try so hard to prove their love to the world."
Another wrote, "$100 says this won't age well."
This is not the first time the couple has faced criticism, partly because they are both so young. Hailey is only 23 and Justin is 26.
In the cover story, Hailey talked about their relationship: "Many still see us as eternal teenagers, Justin in particular … We are a married man and woman, committed, and comfortable with our sexuality … Our chemistry is born from this private and profound awareness."
The couple definitely seems comfortable with sharing their chemistry with the public. Justin's song "Yummy" definitely got fans talking with some sexually-charged lyrics that made it very obvious how he feels about his wife.
