Justin Bieber just turned 31, and he’s celebrating his birthday in style with his wife, Hailey, their baby boy, Jack Blues, and a whole lot of love.
But this wasn’t just any birthday getaway, it also doubled as Bieber’s way of shutting down recent rumors about his alleged drug use.
Over the weekend, Bieber took to Instagram to share an inside look at his cabin retreat, where he and Hailey cozied up with their 6-month-old son. One particularly sweet snap showed Hailey hugging Justin from behind as he sang into a mic, while another featured the family holding Jack, dressed in an adorable neon green onesie.
Hailey, 28, made sure to drop a string of heart emojis in the comments, proving that despite all the buzz, they’re a solid unit. And fans were here for it. The photos gave off pure warmth and love, an intentional move on Bieber’s part after weeks of speculation about his health and behavior.
The drama started when videos surfaced of Bieber at public events, looking exhausted and, according to some fans, acting “off.” The speculation went wild, leading to rumors that the singer might be using drugs again. His rep, however, was quick to clap back, calling the claims “exhausting and pitiful.”
“People are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive,” Bieber’s team stated. They emphasized that Justin has been focused on late-night recording sessions and adjusting to fatherhood, both of which, let’s be real, would leave anyone looking a little drained.
Not one to let the internet run wild with rumors, Bieber trolled fans last week by posting a video where he jokingly rapped about getting high while lighting up a blunt. Was he being serious? Probably not. But he sure knows how to keep people talking.
So what’s next for Bieber? While he’s been keeping things relatively low-key lately, sources say he’s been hard at work on new music. And with this birthday retreat serving as both a reset and a statement, it looks like he’s gearing up for a major return.
One thing’s for sure whether it’s through music, family moments, or playful clapbacks, Bieber isn’t letting the rumors get to him.
