Justin Bieber and Kendall Jenner
Justin Bieber startled fans by sharing a rare Instagram selfie with model Kendall Jenner. The photo was taken on Thursday night during a casual outing at a low-key dive bar in Los Angeles. In the candid photo, Bieber is seen seated on a stool, listening intently to Jenner as she tells an exciting story. Bieber appears to be holding a beer glass, while Jenner is wearing white trousers and a black crop top.
The post immediately drew notice because the two have been friends for almost a decade. There were also claims that Bieber and Jenner dated before his marriage to Hailey Bieber in 2018. Fans were quick to respond to Bieber's odd public demonstration of camaraderie with Hailey's best buddy.
Hailey Bieber responded to the Instagram photo with a humorous comment, saying, "It's always Kendall telling a story with her hands." Her playful jab instantly drew over 65,000 likes from supporters.
The Instagram post is part of a carousel, which also includes a rare snapshot of Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey Bieber from the same night. The duo was spotted reclining side by side on a couch inside the dive pub, appearing relaxed and comfortable. Bieber shared a series of photos earlier this week of romantic moments with Hailey, including the couple cuddling on picnic blankets and spending time together.
The posts follow months of public speculation regarding Justin and Hailey's nuptials. Fans have kept a close eye on their social media activity, with many interpreting Bieber's latest posts as signs that the couple is facing difficulties.
Justin Bieber recently released SWAG, his seventh studio album, which delves into his public character, personal problems, and dedication to Hailey and their almost one-year-old son, Jack Blues Bieber. The record has sparked fan conversations about the couple's journey, including the ups and downs of their love.
For the unversed, Kendall and Hailey's friendship goes way back. They have had their fair share of ups and downs in their bond and still remain to have a strong friendship.
