Justin Bieber appears to be putting rumors of 'marriage woes' to rest after a cryptic show of support to his wife Hailey.
On Tuesday, the troubled pop star shared a post of Hailey in her Met Gala look with the caption: 'Tell em uncle charlie'.
The caption appeared to reference hip hop legend Charlie Wilson, whose song, There Goes My Baby, served as the background music for the post.
Hailey, 28, attended the Met Gala without her husband, 31, who instead enjoyed a night watching hockey in Los Angeles.
The post began with a snap of Hailey clad in a sexy LBD she wore to the style soiree (with her now famous martini in hand) followed by another one of her before the big event in another short dress.
While the duo have been embroiled in rumors of marital strife as of late, the post may have assuaged fears for their relationship with fans happy to see the Baby singer supporting his wife.
'We love a supportive husband,' one fan gushed.
'Just a husband praising his WIFE,' one wrote.
'One thing Justin gon do is Stan tf out of his wife. Love to see it,' another posted.
'Now this is how you convince people you love your wife, keep this up,' one wrote posted.
However there were also several cynics, with a few theorizing that Hailey had actually posted the photos herself from Justin's phone despite the duo being in separate locations.
'This girl really thinks we think Justin is posting this,' one wrote.
'I think she post it,' one wrote. 'every one knows.'
'hailey put justins phone down,' one posted.
One fiercely stood up for the couple against those skeptical Hailey was behind the post: 'And justin and hailey are not in the same place, so this is definitely him. Cry haters.'
Another accused Justin of doing the 'bare minimum' in the relationship by posting the photos.
'You can tell he's super happy and proud of her,' another posted, prompting one to reply, 'Or the complete opposite. And just trying to convince himself.'
Not only did Justin post the photos of his wife to his main grid, he also shared oodles of snaps of Hailey at the gala to his Instagram Stories, along with a recent post she shared herself and a sexy snap of Hailey prepping for the bash from her Rhode Instagram account.
Earlier Monday evening Hailey cut a somber figure as she made her return to the Met Gala without husband Justin, four years after she was heckled by fans of his ex, Selena Gomez.
She looked stoic as she hit up the red carpet solo while flashing her legs in a Saint Laurent mini blazer dress.
One said Bieber was doing the 'bare minimum' by sharing the post
The mother-of-one paired her looked with platform peep toe heels and glittering jewelry while sporting heavy contour.
The star was making her return to fashion's biggest night after a three year absence while husband Justin remained in LA and enjoyed a night of sports instead.
He shared a video showing him relaxing at home while watching playoff hockey captioned: '1 down @mapleleafs.'
There's heavy speculation that her brief absence from the Met Galas was due to the bullying she was rumored to have endured during the 2021 event.
It was rumored that Bieber was crying on the 2021 Met Gala red carpet when she attended with Justin.
The 'crying' was said to be brought on by fans heckling Bieber, chanting Selena Gomez's name at her.
In fact, Bieber was allegedly so 'upset' that she kept her sunglasses on the entire night.
Bieber, who later appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast revealed that while the chanting definitely bothered her, she wasn't exactly crying.
'I felt like I had something in my eye,' she said to Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper in an attempt to dismiss the speculation.
And as for the sunglasses, she said it was always meant to be part of her look.
Though she did note that the chanting she heard was 'disrespectful' to her and her relationship.
But Bieber said she had a mantra that helped keep her grounded: 'Another day, another negative slay,' she told Cooper.
Furthermore, swirling rumors have shrouded the state of Bieber's seven-year marriage to Hailey.
The Biebers welcomed their first child, eight-month-old son Jack Blues Bieber, last summer.
But fans have expressed concern for the couple due to their frosty public appearances.
And a source revealed to DailyMail.com earlier this year that the Rhode businesswoman's famous friends have allegedly urged her to split from Bieber.
In March, Hailey appeared to unfollow her boyfriend on Instagram, sparking a frenzy among fans.
But she took to TikTok to reveal what really happened, writing: 'It's a glitch. Didn't unfollow him. Hope this helps!'
Yet, the mother-of-one made her return to the Met Gala alone Monday as she attended the spectacular of fashion for the first time since 2021 without her husband by her side.
