At Coachella 2025, a viral moment caught Hailey Bieber stepping in to gently guide Justin Bieber’s younger brother, 15-year-old Jaxon, away from the singer while he was seen smoking what appeared to be marijuana. The footage, shared widely on social media, showed Justin dancing shirtless with friends as he puffed on the substance, with Jaxon nearby. Hailey, displaying a calm and protective demeanor, intervened by placing her hands on Jaxon’s back and leading him away from the scene.
Recreational marijuana use is legal in California, but the optics of the incident—particularly involving a minor—sparked both criticism and concern from fans. While some defended Justin, saying he looked relaxed and in good spirits, others were troubled by his disheveled appearance and behavior, especially in light of recent scrutiny about his health.
Justin’s rep, Yvette Noel-Schure, denied claims of hard drug use and emphasized that the star remains committed to fatherhood, marriage, and music. Sources close to the couple added that ongoing speculation about Bieber’s well-being is both exhausting and misleading, especially since he is reportedly focused on raising his newborn son, Jack Blues, and working on a new album.
