Justin Bieber Celebrates Anniversary with His Wife Hailey in New Post

In a single late-night post, the pop icon reignited controversy and devotion in equal measure — not with a love letter, but with a stand-alone photo of his wife. Now, fans question the meaning behind the unexpected tribute.

Pop superstar Justin Bieber marked his wedding anniversary with his wife, Hailey Bieber, by posting a bold image of the model on Instagram, sparking widespread reactions from fans and drawing attention to the couple's history of milestone celebrations.

In the post, Hailey posed outdoors at night in a satin and lace lingerie-style outfit in yellow and white, standing before a green hedge with a dimly lit building behind her. Her body was slightly turned to the side as she looked back at the camera, her soft waves and glamorous pose highlighted by the lighting.

Justin's Anniversary Tribute Sparks Fan Reactions

The post drew a mix of reactions from fans who had a lot to say. Some sarcastically praised the singer's tribute, with one asking, "Couldn't choose a better picture to honour your wife??" One Instagrammer wrote, "You could have post decent and nice picture together 😂this looks funny tho [sic]."

Several other comments expressed concern over the appropriateness of the image. "Absolutely 0 respect for her," read one comment, while another person declared, "Most husband who love their wife would not post pic like this. No respect at all [sic]."

Others noted potential religious implications, with one stating, "Beautiful girl but is t she a Christian? Not appropriate [sic]." One fan lamented, "You could have posted picture of both of you but oh well.... I feel bad for her it's not even an appropriate pic [sic]." Some followers even questioned the timing of the post, asking, "It's not your anniversary? Didn't you get married on 13th Sept?"

Justin's Wedding History and Family Values Add Context to Celebration

The couple's wedding history provides context for the anniversary celebrations. Justin and Hailey were first married in a New York City courthouse in 2018.

According to a source who spoke with People, "They went ahead and did it without listening to anyone," and a religious source confirmed that, although they were legally married, the couple planned a later religious ceremony and celebration.

A little more than a year after their first wedding, the pair held a second wedding ceremony in Bluffton, South Carolina, exchanging vows and Tiffany wedding bands in front of 154 guests, including Kendall Jenner, Camila Morrone, Joan Smalls, and Kylie Jenner, among many other celebrities.

Over the years, the couple has shared affectionate posts marking their milestones. On October 1, 2019, Justin wrote of Hailey, "My bride is 🔥"

On September 14, 2023, Justin shared an anniversary post, writing, "To the most precious, my beloved. 5 years. You have captivated my heart. I know from the depths of my soul down to my bones that this journey with you will only exceed our wildest expectations. So let's keep dreaming big baby. Cheers to forever and ever. I love you with every fiber of my being."

This year, on September 14, Justin also shared a more symbolic post, featuring a framed sign with ten family values, including rest, longevity, quality, innovation, health, sustainability, servanthood, generosity, gratitude, and the dignity of human beings.

The Biebers' social media activity has continued to attract attention, particularly amid news of other celebrity weddings, like Justin's ex, Selena Gomez, who is now married to Benny Blanco. Selena celebrated the day with a post captioned "🤍 9.27.25 🤍."

Selena shared intimate glimpses of her own star-studded celebration with Benny.

Selena and Benny's Magical Wedding in Pictures

The emotional carousel of images came just three days after the couple tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in Santa Barbara. She captioned the post, "@ralphlauren 🤍 @itsbennyblanco 🤍 @rarebeauty."

One jaw-dropping photo showed Selena and Benny in what can only be described as a storybook-perfect moment. She wore a flowing white gown with a long train and sheer veil, her hair in soft, ethereal waves. In the shot, she tenderly kisses Benny's cheek while he smiles, radiant in a classic tuxedo.

As the night unfolded, so did the couple's joy — captured in a mesmerizing black-and-white photo of their first dance. Gomez wore an off-the-shoulder dress with a pleated skirt, while Blanco looked dapper in a sleek suit, holding her close.

Intimate Elegance

A source told Us Weekly that the wedding's low-key perfection was primarily due to Benny himself, who planned most of it, infusing the day with personal touches. The guest list included Selena's family from Texas, Benny's close-knit inner circle, and a sprinkle of Hollywood royalty — including Paul Rudd, Paris Hilton, and Steve Martin.

The reception wasn't without flair: a barefoot dance floor, a spirited Jewish hora, and music by DJ Mark Ronson set the tone, while Nobu provided a luxurious spread of sushi, fish, and steak. And then came the moment that left everyone breathless — Selena's vows, which moved her to tears. Benny followed with a shorter but deeply touching promise.

Fans Celebrate Simplicity and Style

It wasn't long before social media exploded with emotional reactions. One wrote on Instagram, "Absolutely love it all… and that cake is everything… so simple, elegant and enough ❤️." Another added, "I just loved the simplicity of it all."

The cake, too, drew plenty of attention. "How cool is it that her cake is like… so basic," one fan joked, while another gushed, "I love the dresses but mainly I'm obsessed with how utterly simple and pretty the cake is!"

On Reddit, one fan noted, "The simple cake, simple bouquet, gorgeous lace dress, and that barefoot dance AW🧡," while another shared, "All her dresses were very pretty. The whole vibe of the wedding seems chill, including that simple, kinda vintage wedding cake."

Others singled out Selena's bridal looks, with one fan admiring, "This has to be one of my favorite bridal looks of the 21st century. WOW. Everything is simply stunning. I'm so weirdly happy she found her love." Another wrote on Facebook, "The lace dress is perfection on her."
