Justin Bieber Was Nowhere to Be Found at the 2025 Met Gala With Hailey Bieber

Hailey Bieber just arrived at the 2025 Met Gala looking incredible in a mini blazer dress from YSL, and it doesn’t look like she was joined by her husband, Justin Bieber. At least so far—there’s always a possibility that he’ll be arriving later, skipped the carpet, or is simply chilling at their hotel until afters.

So, why did Justin pass on the event? Unclear at this point, but he’s been dealing with a lot of negative press. In fact, The Hollywood Reporter dropped an entire article dramatically titled “Justin Bieber’s Crisis of Faith?” in which an anon former team member said “Seeing him disintegrate like this … it’s watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose. He’s lost. There’s no one protecting him because there’s no one there willing to say no to him. You say no, you get blown out.”

A source also told People that “He is facing a lot of different demons right now. He is making some really poor decisions lately, further impacting friendships, money, and business. People are worried about him.”

For what it’s worth, Justin released a statement alluding to sources speaking about him, saying “They treat me like ass out here, but if I remember that I am flawed too and god forgave me, it helps me to stop feeling better than those people who are mean and hurtful. Because when I’m really honest I can be mean and hurtful too. My instinct is to be like damn I wouldn’t gossip and spread lies about someone on the internet but there’s other shit I do I’m not proud of that god is gracious with. Hurt people hurt people.”

He also spoke about his marriage to Hailey Bieber amid false split rumors, saying “And honestly if I was you it would be hard not to be jealous if I saw me and Hailey going so brazzzzyy. It’s really up for us and that’s understandable why people can’t stand it. I don’t blame em.”
