Hailey Bieber has reignited speculation about possible tension in her marriage to Justin Bieber after a recent solo outing raised eyebrows. The 28-year-old model and Rhode Skin founder was spotted dining at Sushi Park in West Hollywood on Thursday, March 3, without her husband—and was notably seen concealing one hand in her jeans pocket, prompting fans to question whether she had removed her engagement ring.
She was joined by close friends Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and influencer Anastasia Karanikolaou (Stassie Baby), but the absence of the 31-year-old pop star and her effort to obscure her hand drew attention. In photos from the night, Hailey is seen clutching a black purse while her other hand is tucked tightly into the front pocket of her fitted blue jeans, fueling speculation online.
The moment comes amid ongoing rumors of marital strain between the couple. According to DailyMail.com, a source close to Hailey claims she has “been struggling with Justin almost since the start of the marriage”, and that some friends have encouraged her to “go it alone.” The source added, “She loves him madly but he’s a loose cannon. His behaviour is sometimes unacceptable. She’s put up with a lot.”
Concerns about Justin’s physical and emotional well-being have also intensified. The Sorry singer has been seen looking noticeably thinner in public, and his recent social media posts have sparked alarm. In one Instagram Story, he confessed, “I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic,” while another read, “I feel like a fraud… unworthy.”
Worries escalated further after a video surfaced showing the singer smoking from a bong. However, a representative for Justin dismissed the rumors, telling TMZ that “the recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true.” The spokesperson added that he is currently “in one of the best places in his life,” focusing on fatherhood with his newborn son Jack and working on new music.
Despite the rumors, Hailey recently addressed speculation about unfollowing Justin on Instagram, clarifying in a TikTok post: “It’s a glitch. Didn’t unfollow him. Hope this helps!”
Meanwhile, Justin has launched a new fashion brand, SKYLRK. In a promotional video, an animated version of the singer sets fire to a house—symbolically closing the chapter on his previous brand, Drew House—before walking into a new home with Hailey and their son Jack. The symbolic imagery caught the attention of fans, with one commenting, “Burning the past and moving on with wifey and Jack,” and another noting, “Your face changes and you feel safe the moment you see Hailey.”
