Justin Bieber publicly affirmed his relationship with Hailey Bieber on 16 July by posting a photograph of himself kissing the model during a vacation that appears to be in rural Switzerland. The image follows weeks of social-media speculation about the couple’s marriage and shows them relaxed in front of farmland and alpine cabins. The post came less than a week after the release of Bieber’s seventh studio album, “Swag,” his first solo project since 2021’s “Justice.” On the new record’s track “Walking Away,” the singer references moments that have tested the relationship, asking, “tell me why you’re throwing stones at my back.” The Biebers, married since 2018 and parents to 10-month-old Jack Blues, have repeatedly dismissed rumours of marital strain. Hailey told Vogue in May that online gossip had intensified even after the birth of their child. The latest photo and Bieber’s album lyrics together underscore the pair’s message that they remain committed despite public scrutiny.
