According to Daily Mail, the 28-year-old model and founder of Rhode Beauty gave Justin a sweet shoutout while accepting her Beauty Innovator Award at The Daily Front Row’s Fashion Awards on Thursday.
"I want to thank my husband for supporting this dream of mine from the beginning and for always cheering me on. Thank you," Hailey said, wrapping up her emotional acceptance speech at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Not just about beauty and brand building, but in life, in general."
Justin Slams Paparazzi After Stressful Encounter With Hailey

The shout-out comes on the heels of growing concerns over Justin's mental health.
The “Sorry” hitmaker took to Instagram Thursday night to post a tense video showing a swarm of paparazzi hounding him and his wife as they tried to make their way to a parked SUV.
Bieber, who appeared to be filming the scene himself, didn’t mince words.
"Look at these guys," he can be heard saying multiple times, clearly frustrated as a security guard attempts to shield him and Hailey from the flashing cameras. Hailey is briefly seen in the clip, trying to shield her face from the relentless bursts of light.
"This has to stop," Bieber wrote in the caption, putting the industry's aggressive tactics on full blast for his 293 million followers to see.
Justin Bieber’s Paparazzi Blowup Comes Days After Joint-Smoking Controversy

The heated moment comes just days after Bieber had another run-in with paparazzi during a tense standoff outside a coffee shop in Palm Springs, California, right before the first weekend of Coachella kicked off. During that incident, he accused the photographers of trying to profit from him, adding to his growing frustration with the constant invasion of his privacy.
It also comes after Justin was caught smoking what looked to be a joint next to his 15-year-old brother, something that sparked outrage amongst fans.
Hailey Bieber Gets Candid About Health Struggles

Meanwhile, Hailey has been keeping it very real on social media, recently opening up about her ongoing health struggles. Earlier this week, she revealed that she’s currently dealing with two ovarian cysts, posting a candid photo of her bloated stomach to her Instagram Stories.
"Currently have 2 ovarian cysts. If you deal with ovarian cysts I'm right there with ya! [bandaged heart emoji] (sic)," she wrote.
Hailey hasn’t shared whether she'll need medical treatment, but fans know this isn’t her first battle with cysts. Back in 2022, she denied pregnancy rumors and revealed she had an ovarian cyst "the size of an apple."
"I don't have endometriosis or PCOS but I have gotten an ovarian cyst a few times and it's never fun," she explained at the time. "It's painful and achey and makes me feel nauseous and bloated and crampy and emotional."
She wrapped that post with words that resonate even now, "We got this."
Hailey Bieber Is 'Sad' Over How 'Hard' Everyone’s Being On Justin Amid Marital Rumors And Public Scrutiny

As rumors continue to swirl about trouble in paradise for Hailey and Justin Bieber, new reports reveal the model is deeply concerned for her husband and the constant public scrutiny he’s been facing.
"Hailey is not on the verge of wanting a divorce or leaving him," an insider told PEOPLE Magazine. "It's just completely untrue. If anything she's sad about how hard everyone is being on him now that he finally is coming back out of his shell."
The Rhode Beauty founder has reportedly "been in tears" over the negativity surrounding the "Peaches" singer, especially as he’s been working to reemerge into the spotlight after a quieter period.
Much of the latest backlash stems from viral footage showing Justin smoking what appeared to be weed while hanging with his younger brother, Jaxon, during Coachella’s second weekend. The clip sparked fan concerns about Justin’s “rough” appearance and behavior, leading to even more online speculation about his mental and physical health.
Sources close to the Biebers say the criticism is unfair and exaggerated.
