The internet is buzzing after Hailey Bieber stepped out in New York City this week notably missing one very expensive accessory, her $500,000 wedding ring. Fans and gossip blogs alike are speculating: is her marriage to Justin Bieber headed for trouble?
The model was photographed twice on Thursday, first during a breakfast outing at The Commerce Inn in the West Village, then later during a girls’ night out with close friends Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse. On both occasions, Hailey ditched her ring, opting instead for stylish looks that did little to distract from the missing symbol of her high-profile marriage.
Hailey, 28, kept things casual by day in a khaki trench over a black tee and denim shorts. By night, she switched to full glam: a sleek black leather coat, high-neck top, and wide-leg jeans. But no matter the outfit, her left hand stayed bare.
This ringless appearance comes just months after rumors flared up in March when Hailey unfollowed Justin on Instagram, an action she later dismissed as a “glitch” caused by Justin temporarily deactivating his account. Still, fans weren’t buying it then, and they’re certainly not buying it now.
Adding fuel to the fire, Hailey made headlines last week with a cryptic Father’s Day post that many viewed as a thinly veiled jab at her husband. Meanwhile, Justin took to Instagram warning fans not to “mess” with him. The couple’s online behavior has been under scrutiny for years, but tensions appear to be peaking.
In her recent Vogue interview, Hailey hit back at the endless divorce speculation that’s followed the couple since their whirlwind 2018 wedding. “You would think after having a child, people would maybe move on… but no,” she said, referring to the birth of their son Jack Blues last August. “So I guess these bitches are going to be mad.”
But there’s more than just tabloid drama at play. Insiders say Justin is going through a rough patch. He’s been seen behaving erratically in public and openly using marijuana. According to one Page Six source, “Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there’s only so much she can do.” The same insider added, “Hailey loves Justin with all her heart, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s happy.”
From social media shade to public appearances minus the ring, the signs are stacking up, and fans are paying attention. While neither Hailey nor Justin’s reps have confirmed or denied any split, the silence is only making the rumors louder.
Will they power through like they always have? Or is this the beginning of the end for one of pop culture’s most-watched couples? For now, all eyes are on Hailey’s left hand, and Justin’s next move.
