Hailey Bieber shuts down divorce rumours on social media as Justin shares emotional posts

Hailey Bieber has subtly shut down growing speculation about her marriage by sharing a selfie on Instagram showing her wearing her wedding ring. The post arrives amid rumours of a possible split from husband Justin Bieber, fuelled by her recent public appearances without the ring. Reports surfaced after Hailey was allegedly seen without the band during outings in New York, including nights out with Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse. However, the model's latest Instagram Story appears to dismiss those claims. Dressed in a black top and polka-dot trousers, with dark sunglasses and a handbag in tow, Hailey's ring is clearly visible on her left hand. Photo: Instagram While Hailey responded quietly, Justin Bieber took a more expressive approach on social media. The singer shared a series of monochrome selfies featuring his new nose pin, set to music including 'I Believe I Can Fly' by R. Kelly and 'Me Vs Me' by Moneybagg Yo. He also reposted messages that appeared to reflect his mindset. One read: 'Not everybody hates you, just a lot of people do… People in Tasmania don't hate you. But that's just because they don't know you.' Another added, 'You is jealous, envious, you trying to be me, around me.' The posts come after a public altercation with paparazzi outside Soho House in Malibu and a follow-up admission from Bieber that he had ended a friendship after being accused of 'lashing out.'

Weston Gosa Sr underfire after Whitney Purvis misses her late son's funeral

Former 16 and Pregnant star Whitney Purvis was reportedly turned away from her 16-year-old son Weston's funeral earlier this month after arriving late and not being listed among the invited guests. Purvis' son, whom she shared with ex-husband Weston Lewis Gosa, died on June 2 in Gordon County, Georgia. An official cause of death has not yet been released. The private funeral took place shortly after, but a reported miscommunication led to Purvis missing the ceremony and being denied access. According to TMZ, Purvis arrived at the funeral home around 4 p.m. — the time she says she was told the service would begin. However, the ceremony had already concluded two hours earlier, and her name was reportedly not on the guest list provided to organisers. Sources close to the former reality TV personality believe her ex-partner was behind the confusion, though Gosa denies any wrongdoing. Speaking to US outlets, Gosa insisted that he informed Purvis of the correct timing well in advance, claiming he told her the viewing began at 2 p.m., followed by the service at 4 p.m. He also alleged that Purvis did not arrive until 4:15 p.m., at which point the chapel doors had been locked. He further stated that her mother, aunt, and uncle were admitted earlier, having shown up at the scheduled time. '16 and Pregnant' Star Whitney Purvis Missed Son's Funeral, Showed Up Late | Click to read more 👇 — TMZ (@TMZ) June 17, 2025 Following the incident, Gosa claimed he received an angry message from Purvis, in which she called him "evil" for preventing her from saying goodbye to their son. He countered her claims by reportedly sending her a photograph showing that her name was, in fact, on the list. The service for Weston was held privately 'due to the nature and circumstances of this tragic loss,' according to family statements. Gosa and his current wife have since purchased a separate urn so that Purvis may have a portion of her son's ashes. Purvis, who rose to fame in 2009 on MTV's 16 and Pregnant, later lost custody of both Weston and her younger son, River, reportedly following a 2024 arrest over unpaid child support. Gosa has had his own legal troubles in recent years, with charges including driving on a suspended licence and property damage.
