Hailey Bieber makes rare comment about marriage with Justin as split rumors swirl

Hailey Bieber gave her husband, Justin Bieber, a rare shout-out while accepting an award for her Rhode beauty line.

On Thursday, Hailey, 28, was named beauty innovator of the year at the 2025 Daily Front Row Fashion Los Angeles Awards.

Donning a strapless blue dress and black pumps, the model walked up to the podium and spoke for several minutes about her brand, which she described as “a feeling,” “a lifestyle,” “a place” and “a world that is open to everyone and anyone that identifies with it.”

After thanking several industry folks, Hailey concluded her speech, “And lastly, I wanna thank my husband for supporting this dream of mine from the beginning and for always cheering me on.”

Notably, Justin — with whom she shares 8-month-old son Jack — was not at the event. However, the couple was photographed having breakfast together in Venice Beach, Calif., earlier in the day.

Just before Hailey thanked Justin in her speech, the pop superstar, 31, gave his wife a shout-out on Instagram while attempting to silence split speculation.

“Honestly if I was u, it would be hard not to be jealous of me and Hailey going brazzzzyy,” he wrote on his Instagram Story.

“It’s really up for us and that’s understandable why people can’t stand it.”

Justin has sparked concern amongst his fans with bizarre behavior that seemed to start after Jack was born last fall.

The “Baby” singer’s name has also been brought up numerous times in relation to rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, whose sex trafficking trial is set to begin in just over a week.

Several videos have resurfaced of a young Justin hanging out with Combs in the early days of his career, with many fans online arguing that Diddy taking him under his wing was “inappropriate.” The “Sorry” singer has yet to publicly comment on the allegations made against the disgraced hop-hop mogul.

“Justin is in a hard place mentally right now,” a source shared in October 2024. “He has such a history with Diddy, and the allegations against him have been hard to process.”

At the time, a second source pointed out that Justin was “completely disgusted” by Combs’ alleged behavior.

Worry for Justin grew exponentially after he was seen acting strangely at Coachella this past weekend.

At one point during the music festival, he was filmed smoking marijuana next to his 15-year-old brother, Jaxon Bieber, prompting Hailey to remove the teenager from the vicinity.

A source explained Tuesday that the Grammy winner is “tired” of his every move being “weaponized against him.”

A second source claimed Hailey has “been in tears” over Justin’s recent antics, which have included lashing out at paparazzi.

“Things have gotten bad quickly. She’s genuinely scared something bad is going to happen to Justin,” the source alleged. “Hailey’s very loyal to him. She’s not walking away, but she knows something has to change.”

The source added that the influencer’s “focus is raising Jack in a stable environment,” noting that “she’s drawn a line around what she’s willing to tolerate.”
