Let \(B_{u,v}(n)\) denote the number of (u, v)-regular bipartitions of n. In this article, we prove that \(B_{p,m}(n)\) is always almost divisible by p, where \(p\ge 5\) is a prime number and m is a positive odd integer with \(\gcd (p,3m)=1. \) Further, we obtain infinite families of congruences modulo 3 for \(B_{3,7}(n),\) \(B_{3,5}(n)\) and \(B_{3,2}(n)\) by using the theory of Hecke eigenforms and a result of Newman (Ann Math 70:478–489, 1959). Furthermore, we get many infinite families of congruences modulo 7, 11, and 13 for \(B_{2,7}(n)\) , \(B_{2,11}(n)\) , and \(B_{2,13}(n)\) , respectively, by employing an identity of Newman (Ann Math 70:478–489, 1959). In addition, we prove infinite families of congruences modulo 2 for \(B_{4,3}(n)\) , \(B_{8,3}(n)\) , and \(B_{4,5}(n)\) by applying another result of Newman (Ann Math 75:242–250, 1962).
