Hailey Bieber mocks Justin Bieber divorce reports with ring-flaunting selfie, flexes hubby's brand

Hailey Bieber has shut down wedding rumours again. The RHODE founder stirred up whispers of trouble in paradise after she was spotted without her wedding ring during a solo outing in New York this Thursday. Fans were quick to connect the dots, especially since the rumour first picked up in March when Hailey unfollowed Justin—though she later blamed it on a glitch after he deactivated his account. However, moments later, the model uploaded a mirror selfie flaunting her ring, and even wore what's being called Justin's new brand, Skylrk. Hailey said shut up haters I'm wearing my ring and on top of that I'm using my husband's brand!!! — Mar (@jaileyisthebest) June 21, 2025 Justin, on the other hand, has been behaving erratically. He's admitted to smoking weed and has been posting cryptic messages calling himself 'broken' or 'standing on business.' In one recent post, he even dropped a screenshot of a conversation cutting someone off, saying, 'If you don't like my anger, you don't like me. My Anger is a response to pain I have been through.' Also read: Hailey Bieber opens up about rumours about divorce with Justin Bieber, dealing with online hate during postpartum: 'You would think after a child…' In the photos obtained by Page Six, Hailey stepped out for breakfast at The Commerce Inn in the West Village. The model was seen wearing a khaki trench coat, paired with black sunglasses, and no ring. Later, she was spotted on the Upper East Side hanging out with friends Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse at Chez Fifi. This time, the 28-year-old wore a black leather coat, wide-leg jeans, and again left her $500,000 jewellery piece at home. Ever since the couple tied the knot in a rushed wedding back in 2018, divorce rumours never really left their side, though things did quiet down for a bit when they renewed their vows before the birth of their son, Jack Blues Bieber. In a recent interview with Vogue, Hailey made it clear she's over the noise. 'Well, I thought seven years in it would've [died down] already, and it hasn't,' she sighed. 'You would think after having a child, people would maybe move on, chill out a little bit, but no… So I guess these bi***es are going to be mad.' During the same conversation, she stressed there's no feud or tension in the marriage—if anything, the two are going strong. Justin even came to her defence online, but his increasingly erratic behaviour has fans worried. He's been seen smoking weed at festivals and posting cryptic messages on Instagram, calling himself 'broken.' In one viral clip, he lashed out at paparazzi: 'It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it? … I'm not the one you mess with.' Also read: Justin Bieber admits that he is 'broken' and has 'anger issues,' says he can't heal himself: 'The harder I try to grow, the more…' Just last week, he posted: 'People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?' At the same time, rumours of financial strain started making rounds, with reports claiming he still owes a significant amount to former manager Scooter Braun. In another post, Bieber threw shade at what he called 'transactional relationships,' writing, 'If I have to do something to be loved, that's not love.' After Hailey's Vogue cover went live, the singer caught flak for a since-deleted Instagram post where he asked her to 'forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a Vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken.' Page Six reported in April that 'Justin is going through a hard time' and that his wife is trying to help. 'Hailey loves Justin with all her heart,' the source said, 'but there's only so much she can do. That doesn't necessarily mean she's happy.' On the work front, the Baby crooner is planning his musical comeback. 'Hailey loves Justin with all her heart,' a source said, 'but there's only so much she can do. That doesn't necessarily mean she's happy.' Earlier reports suggested that Justin's return to work heavily depends on his financial situation, with sources indicating he still owes AEG, the promoter of his canceled Justice World Tour.
