Justin Bieber broke cover with wife Hailey Bieber following the singer’s rep denying any involvement in alleged misconduct at the hands of Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Justin, 31, was seen grinning and bopping his head along to music alongside Hailey, 28, while attending the Sunday, May 18, hockey playoff at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. The pair even shared a kiss and further PDA via Justin’s Instagram account that evening.
The outing, captured in footage shared via Sportsnet’s Facebook page on Sunday, marked the first public appearance since Justin’s rep hosed down speculation that he was a victim of Diddy, 55. (Diddy is currently on trial for charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.)
A rep shared via a statement to Us Weekly on Thursday, May 15, “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”
While attending Sunday’s game, which saw Justin’s beloved Toronto Maple Leafs take on the Florida Panthers, Justin threw his arm around Hailey, who also smiled by his side.
The pair thoroughly documented their outing via Instagram, with Justin sharing two Instagram Story videos of Hailey looking excited as she walked down a hall ahead of the match. He also shared Sportsnet’s Instagram Story which mentioned that, “Justin and Hailey Bieber are on the scene for game 7” and included footage of the couple soaking up the atmosphere.
One hour prior to his Stories posts, Justin shared a shot of Hailey walking backstage at the game, captioning his Instagram grid photo, “Made it into the building,” and tagging his wife.
As for Hailey, who married the “What Do You Mean?” artist in September 2018 and shares son, Jack Blues, 7 months, with him, the Rhode founder shared Justin’s grid photo of her back via her own Instagram Stories.
The model also shared a photo of two Maple Leafs players, Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, seated in front of her and Justin, demonstrating just how close the couple were to the game’s action.
Justin, who found fame as a teenager, crossed paths with Diddy early in his career, which is where much of the unsubstantiated speculation surrounding Justin’s involvement with Diddy stemmed from.
Sean “Diddy” Combs and Justin Bieber’s longtime friendship came under scrutiny following Diddy’s September 2024 arrest for sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. (The rapper has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied the allegations against him.) Diddy described Bieber as his “little brother” in the earliest days of the […]
Justin notoriously appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2011 alongside Diddy, and said the music mogul had promised to buy him a Lamborghini but he had not received this gift. “He knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with Big Brother Puff on national television,” Diddy responded on the show.
Diddy was arrested in September 2024. His attorney Marc Agnifilio said in a statement to Us at the time, “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
