Justin Bieber shared a public show of support for his wife, Hailey Bieber, after skipping the 2025 Met Gala where the model made her solo return to the red carpet. The 31-year-old pop star posted two sets of photos to Instagram on Tuesday, showcasing Hailey's looks from fashion's biggest night while captioning the posts with lyrics from Charlie Wilson's "There Goes My Baby." The posts come amid renewed speculation over the couple's relationship and Bieber's mental state.
The first upload included a photo of Hailey in a black Saint Laurent blazer mini dress, accessorized with Tiffany & Co. diamonds and platform heels. "Tell em uncle Charlie," Justin wrote, referencing the track playing in the background. Hailey responded in the comments with emojis: "️️" Later, Bieber posted additional images of his wife from the Met Gala afterparty, writing, "I see it I like it and I want it."
The posts were seen by many as a rare public affirmation of their bond following recent rumors of tension in the couple's marriage. "We love a supportive husband," one fan wrote. "Just a husband praising his WIFE," another posted. Others remained skeptical, with some commenters accusing Hailey of posting the images herself from Justin's account. "This girl really thinks we think Justin is posting this," one wrote. Another added, "Hailey put Justin's phone down."
Hailey, 28, attended the Met Gala alone for the first time since 2021. She appeared stoic on the red carpet in New York, wearing a structured blazer dress and heels. Notably, her absence from the event in recent years has been linked to a 2021 incident in which fans allegedly chanted the name of Bieber's ex, Selena Gomez, as the couple walked the red carpet. At the time, Hailey kept her sunglasses on throughout the night, sparking speculation she had been crying. In a later interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she said, "I felt like I had something in my eye," but acknowledged the chants were "disrespectful."
Justin remained in Los Angeles on Monday night, sharing a video on Instagram watching a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game. His absence from the Met Gala fueled concern among fans already speculating about the couple's relationship. The Biebers welcomed their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, last year, but their public appearances have drawn scrutiny due to what observers describe as increasingly frosty interactions.
In March, fans noticed Hailey appeared to unfollow Justin on Instagram, though she later dismissed the rumors, writing on TikTok: "It's a glitch. Didn't unfollow him. Hope this helps!" Still, the couple has been the subject of ongoing breakup rumors, with a source telling DailyMail.com that friends of Hailey's have encouraged her to consider separation. "She's not walking away, but she knows something has to change," the source said.
Further concerns about Bieber's behavior have surfaced in recent months. "He's literally going on [Instagram] Live, smoking weed and looking out of his mind," one source told The Post. Another insider said Hailey had been "in tears" over her husband's actions. "She's genuinely scared something bad is going to happen to Justin," the source said, adding that her priority now is "raising Jack in a stable environment."
Bieber has also faced renewed public scrutiny due to his past relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is now the subject of a sex trafficking trial. Videos of a young Bieber with Combs have resurfaced, prompting online debate over their early interactions. A source told Page Six that Justin has been "completely disgusted" by the allegations and is struggling mentally as a result.
