HAILEY Bieber fans have speculated the model will attend the Met Gala with Kendall Jenner instead of her husband, Justin, amid the couple’s rumored marital issues.
The theory was presented on a popular online forum after a fan of the Rhode Skin founder asked if anyone thought Hailey, 27, would attend the prestigious event.
Other fans quickly provided reasons why they thought the Drop the Mic host would, or would not, show up to this year’s Met Gala while speculating about who she’d be accompanied by if not her pop star husband Justin, 30.
“100% sure she’s gonna go with the Kardashian clan,” one fan shared.
“She won’t pass the chance to make an appearance and make people talk,” before adding, “Not so sure about Justin [though].”
She’ll probably go with [Kendall]. I highly doubt Justin is going to attend,” another guessed.
Kendall, 28, and Hailey frequently attend events together.
“Duh, She never passes up an opportunity to be in the headlines. I doubt Justin will be present though,” added a third.
“Oh 1000%! Girl can’t stay out of the public eye! She craves the attention and I’m sure she’ll do some ‘hand on her tummy’ pose just to further the pregnancy rumors,” another said.
One fan speculated that Hailey “won’t go” if she’s by herself but IS guaranteed to show up if the Kardashians attend.
They also stated that Justin doesn’t seem to want “to be bothered.”
“I really think she won’t go like she did at the Oscars because Justin definitely won’t go,” a fan argued.
“Normally, she would go everywhere alone Justin would not go with her to these events, but now she will avoid doing this alone because there is a lot of speculation around them and her fans also believe that she is five months pregnant now.”
“If she goes, it will be revealed that she is not pregnant, and she wants to play with these speculations at this time to cover up the truth about her broken marriage because Justin has gone back into hiding again So we’ll see,” they concluded.
PHASING OUT
Fans recently shared theories that Hailey is phasing Justin out of her life after she dropped a new clue on social media.
The Yummy singer and the YouTuber have been at the center of breakup speculation for months.
Rumors were reignited on Friday when Hailey posted a selfie on her Instagram Stories that captured the socialite sitting in a dark room wearing a red light mask.
She held a mug close to her face as she showed off her freshly manicured nails.
Hailey captioned her post, “I now know for sure this is the only life for me. Bed. Tea. Skincare.”
On Reddit, fans focused on the model’s words, “Only life for me”, and shared theories that the message was hinting at relationship trouble with Justin.
“She never [mentions] Justin since their last photoshoot. That’s really weird,” one wrote.
“Is she phasing Justin out now? seems suspicious,” a second person pondered.
A third commenter agreed, stating, “I thought the same thing.”
TROUBLE IN PARADISE?
Fans have suspected marriage problems between Hailey and Justin since October 2023.
Last week, a photo emerged of the couple attending Coachella earlier this month that seemed to add to the speculation.
