Justin Bieber’s Flirty Comment On Keke Palmer’s Post Sparks Speculation Amid Hailey Split Rumors
Bieber took to the comment section of Palmer’s February 9 post, writing, “She said I’m poppin out [heart-eyed emoji].” The compliment immediately caught the attention of fans, who questioned his motives.
In the striking photos, Palmer dazzled in a white crop top layered under a Burberry trench coat, accessorizing with a matching headscarf and round sunglasses. She opted for a bronzed makeup look with a glossy nude lip, exuding effortless glam.
Fans were quick to react to Bieber’s comment, with one user questioning, “Justin??? What are you doing here?” while another speculated, “Justin Bieber already trynna move on from Hailey.”
Rumors Surrounding The Biebers Continue To Swirl
Since December, persistent speculation has been swirling about the state of Justin and Hailey Bieber’s marriage, with fans and media closely analyzing their every move.
The buzz intensified after pop culture podcaster Sloan Hooks weighed in on their relationship, citing their Instagram activity as potential signs of tension. “I just received a tip about Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey, and it doesn’t look like things are going too well,” Hooks claimed in a video.
Adding fuel to the rumors, the couple appeared to have spent the holidays apart. Hailey was spotted vacationing in Anguilla with Lori Harvey and Justine Skye, while Justin was noticeably absent from the trip.
Hailey Bieber’s Response To Split Rumors
Justin’s comment comes just weeks after Hailey seemingly dismissed speculation about trouble in her marriage.
Toward the end of 2024, Hailey shared a cryptic post featuring a man laughing while repeating the phrase, “You’re not well, and it’s OK.” She captioned the post, “me to all of you on the internet,” seemingly addressing the ongoing chatter about her relationship.
Despite the persistent rumors, sources close to the couple insist there is no trouble in paradise. Last month, an insider exclusively told Page Six that Hailey and Justin, who welcomed their first child together in August 2024, are “doing amazing and loving this new chapter as parents.”
“Although their marriage has been a hot topic of discussion, they think the rumors about them splitting are ridiculous,” the source shared. “They’re in love and doing great.”
The insider added that the couple prioritizes their family, careers, close friendships, and faith above the noise of speculation. “They ignore the headlines and rumors about their relationship as much as they can and instead focus on what’s the most important to them... their family, their careers, their friends, and God.”
Hailey Subtly Puts Rumors to Rest
While Hailey has yet to directly respond to Justin’s flirty interaction with Palmer, she subtly shut down breakup speculation on Wednesday.
The model posted a selfie featuring a tote bag embroidered with “Mrs. Bieber” while prominently displaying her massive $1.5 million engagement ring.
She also shared a candid snapshot of Justin sleeping at the dinner table, reinforcing that they are still very much together.
Justin Bieber Is Seemingly ‘Happier Than He’s Been In A Long Time’
Additionally, sources close to the 30-year-old singer suggest he is in a great place, with an insider telling Us Weekly, “Justin is a happy camper right now," adding that “he’s happier than he’s been in a long time.” The source further emphasized that “there’s no breakdown” and that Bieber “just really doesn’t care what people think.”
In recent weeks, Justin has also made headlines for his frequent spa visits, often leaving in minimal clothing, which has sparked conversation online. However, the source insists there is no hidden meaning behind it.
“He knows he looks strange leaving spas shirtless, but it’s just him,” the insider explained. “And after the rumors, he’s doing it out of spite now. He’s just being himself and won’t create a squeaky-clean image just because the public wants him to.”
As the internet continues to speculate about Justin’s social media activity, it seems Justin is in a good place and Hailey is making a point to silence the noise in her own way.
