Justin Bieber shares rare snaps of baby son Jack with bizarre caption after sparking fears with troubling posts
Justin Bieber shared new snaps of his nearly one-year-old son Jack Blues Bieber on Friday — after sparking fears with troubling Instagram posts.
Ahead of Father's Day weekend, which will mark his first as a dad, the 31-year-old Canadian pop star shared new photos with his baby boy, who he shares with wife Hailey, 28.
The father-son duo were dressed in color-coordinated outfits, with the Yummy hitmaker clad in a baggy red Balenciaga T-shirt and the baby donning patterned red shorts.
It comes amid growing concerns from followers over the singer's mental health, and after the star lashed out at one fan in particular via a social media comment.
In the caption, Justin wrote, 'Ay bay bay,' along with a bizarre single middle finger emoji.
The middle finger caption was a theme throughout his multiple social media posts on Friday.
Justin followed up the snaps of his son with a grainy throwback picture featuring himself as a child, appearing a few years older than Jack.
On May 21 a meme account on Instagram shared a screenshot of text messages from a contact named 'Grandpa,' who wrote, 'I'm worried about Justin Beber [sic],' later adding, 'There is so much heartbreak in Justin's life.'
The caption of the post agreed, 'We all are.'
Days later, Justin shockingly appeared in the comments to write, 'Worry about yourself gramps.'
Another troubling post saw the singer declare he was 'tired of transactional relationships. If I have to do something to be loved, that's not love.'
In response, many of his 294 million followers took to the comment section to express alarm over the statement.
'This post sounds like it's coming from a 20 year old, not from someone who is in their 30s with a wife and kid,' one fan wrote.
That same commenter added: 'Love is transactional, that's the point, that's real love. Love is not supposed to be unconditional, unless it's your child.'
Another described Bieber as 'the britney spears of our generation,' while someone else said, 'You can't love someone who doesn't give you anything to love them for.'
Bieber has taken a break from performing since being diagnosed with Ramsey Hunt syndrome in 2023, which resulted in facial paralysis and affected his ability to sing.
He landed himself in hot water with the public in late May after he shared the cover image of Vogue's summer issue, starring wife Hailey.
Along with the picture, he added an anecdotal caption that began, 'Yo, this reminds me [of] when Hailey and I got into a huge fight.'
The father-son duo were dressed in color-coordinated outfits, with the Yummy hitmaker clad in a baggy red Balenciaga T-shirt and the baby donning patterned red shorts
He shockingly confessed, 'I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue. Yikes. I know, so mean.'
The former child star continued oversharing, 'For some reason, because I felt disrespected, I thought, "I gotta get even."'
In a weak attempt to turn the story into a teachable moment, he added, 'I think as we mature we realize that we're not helping anything by getting even. We're honestly just prolonging what we really want, which is intimacy and connection.'
The cringeworthy note concluded, 'So baby, [you] already know but forgive me for saying [you] wouldn't get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken.'
His remarks did not go over well, with thousands of his nearly 300 Instagram million followers begging him to 'edit' the post and calling him out for the odd admission.
Meanwhile, Hailey appears to mostly be taking everything in stride.
She continues to thrive in her business career as the founder and Creative Director of her skincare range Rhode, which she recently sold for an eye-watering $1 billion.
Earlier this week she relished in fun at a winery with close friend Justine Skye.
She took to Instagram on Wednesday to share outtakes from a trip to Napa Valley, where she mixed business with play as she attended the Business of Beauty Global Forum 2025 at Stanly Ranch before hitting up the wine chateau.
The photo dump came after she previously appeared online and captioned a set of sexy snaps, 'Lemon drop martinis and therapy all summer long.'

'Utter woke nonsense!' Fans poke fun at FIFA Club World Cup over renamed 'Man of the Match award'
FIFA's rebranded Club World Cup got underway in the United States this week — but some fans were less interested in the football and more baffled by a bizarre new award name. As Inter Miami's 0-0 draw with Egyptian side Al Ahly marked the start of the tournament, eagle-eyed viewers noticed that Oscar Ustari, the veteran goalkeeper who saved a penalty and kept Lionel Messi 's side in the match, was handed the 'Superior Player of the Match' award. The name raised plenty of eyebrows among fans who took to social media in disbelief — not just at the awkward phrasing, but what they saw as another example of football losing the plot. 'What on earth is a "superior player of the match?"' one fan posted. Another simply wrote: 'Games gone, mate.' A third X user fumed: 'Superior player of the match? You absolute sausages. Man of the match. End of!' And a fourth branded it: 'Utter woke nonsense!' Despite the outcry, the term is not actually the result of any recent shift in gendered language. FIFA quietly phased out 'Man of the Match' from its international tournaments years ago. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar used the more neutral 'Player of the Match', following a similar move across many domestic leagues and competitions. So where does 'Superior Player' come from? It's all about the sponsor. The Club World Cup's player award is backed by American beer brand Michelob ULTRA, whose tagline is 'Superior Light Beer'. The branding was also used at the CONCACAF Champions Cup and Copa America — both held in the US — as part of the company's marketing drive. Even so, some fans aren't having it. 'What the heck is "superior player'.. good Lord… FIFA is ruining football,' grumbled one such fan on X. Another crudely joked: 'Is this for dumb Americans to understand? Blimey.' Although many fans took issue with the name of the award, few could argue against Miami keeper Ustari being a worthy recipient. The 38-year-old made a total of eight saves, including one from Trezeguet's first-half penalty, to earn a valuable clean sheet.

Mum-to-be slammed for naming her baby girl after global disaster because ‘it sounded nice'
EVER heard a name that left you completely gobsmacked? A post on Reddit has gone viral after a woman shared a baby shower invite, which revealed the name planned for an unborn baby. 3 Traditionally, parents share the name of their child after it's been born, rather than beforehand. This is usually down to superstition, but also to avoid scrutiny and negativity over the chosen name. Posting in the group r/tragedeigh, the Redditor said: "I'm speechless... "Welp.. I just got invited to a baby shower…" The invite read: "Please join us for a baby shower. Join us to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a little bundle of joy. "In honour of Chernobyl Hope." The time and place was redacted but the invite concluded with: "We can't wait to celebrate together." Someone replied: "I refuse to believe this is real lol." But the original poster added: "I have a feeling they don't know what Chernobyl meant. I asked them where they got the idea from and said it just sounded nice????" Another was unconvinced: "This has to be fake. There's no way this is real." But the OP doubled down: "Imagine my shock when I received the invite." The OP later explained how the parents of Chernobyl wanted their daughter to be known by the nickname 'Cherry'. I'm called 'selfish' for giving my baby a 'ridiculous' name - trolls say she won't get a job & slam my son's moniker too "I'll let you guys know when I have an update. This invitation was sent in a group chat and was also personally sent to me,' they added. 'I just can't believe they would name a baby girl Chernobyl. I'll gather enough courage to tell them my thoughts.' One comment read: "This has gotta be a top ten worst names posted in the sub." Someone else felt the baby name was finally suitable for the Reddit thread and said: "FINALLY! a child named after a LITERAL tragedeigh!" One person hoped the parents-to-be could be convinced to change their unborn baby's name: "Thankfully it's just the baby shower; there's still time for someone to talk sense into them." But another thought the name wasn't that uncommon: "I worked with a lady named Chernobyl. She went by Che." The struggle of choosing a baby name CHLOE Morgan, a Senior Writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma on choosing a baby name... At 35 weeks pregnant, by far the trickiest part of pregnancy for me in the past few months (minus the insomnia and countless night-time wee breaks!) has been trying to decide on a baby name. The dilemmas are endless... My partner and I went for a private scan to find out the gender as early as we could - partly due to the fact we thought it would make baby naming so much easier because we'd only have to come up with a list of names for one gender rather than two. How wrong we were... I was absolutely thrilled to be told I was expecting the baby girl I'd already dreamed of, but being one of the last of my friends to fall pregnant, I've had countless conversations over the years with excited pals discussing their top baby which I wish I could go back in time and un-hear. With each friend mentioning at least 10 possible monikers, I can't help but feel like several are now a no-go even though I know it's something that none of them would mind in the slightest - it's a total me problem! The debate comes up time and time again on social media forums - can you choose the same name that was a "potential" for a friend's baby? It's a very divisive topic and opinions are always I don't want to be THAT person. While some will argue there's thousands of other names out there to choose from, others will say you need to choose YOUR all, there's no guarantee that person will even have another baby. Then there's also the issue of finding a name you to research it online and read one negative comment amongst hundreds of positives that you just can't shake off. I made that very mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won't reveal it because I don't want to ruin it for others!) ...only to see someone point out that it constantly gets autocorrected on a phone to something rather rude instead. So, back to the drawing board we went.. Just five weeks to go and it looks like our little one is going to be known as 'baby gal' for a little while longer! "Kid is going to think it's cool that she was named after a show and then find out the origins of her name, lol," a Redditor remarked. What is the meaning behind 'Chernobyl'? The word Chernobyl refers to the Chernobyl disaster which was a catastrophic nuclear accident that occurred on April 26, 1986, at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near Pripyat, in the Soviet Union. 3 During a late-night safety test, a sudden power surge led to a reactor explosion and fire, releasing massive amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere. The explosion killed two workers immediately, and acute radiation sickness claimed 28 more lives within weeks. However, around 600,000 'liquidators,' involved in cleaning up the accident, were exposed to high doses of radiation, with various studies reporting that those affected by the blast could be in their thousands. The Chernobyl disaster was a devastating tragedy, meaning it's not a word associated with a person's name. But, there are other meanings to the word Chernobyl. One defended the possible new baby's name, writing: 'I mean, the word Chernobyl was originally the name of a common mugwort plant, a medicinal herb.' They followed up their sentiment with the phrase: 'But there's a reason we don't name children Adol[f] any longer, even if that name was relatively innocuous before 1939.' 'This is so, so bad. They have to be told. Give them a book about Chernobyl as a gift for the baby shower. Because no,' replied someone else. 3

Club World Cup opens with a whimper
Inter Miami 0 Al-Ahly 0 Goalless but, thankfully, not wholly soulless even if at times it felt as tacky as the thick Florida evening air. Gianni Infantino boasted of the 'big bang' for this Club World Cup. The first of its 64 games in just four weeks – yes, 64, so buckle up – came and went with a low-key whimper. There was dynamic pricing for the tickets but predictably there was not enough dynamic football. The Club World Cup needs Lionel Messi. A new era or a new error? But Messi did not deliver. Not this time. But neither did Inter Miami embarrass themselves, as some feared. And there will be relief in that even if that is not really what elite tournaments are meant to be about. Quite what Messi made of it all was unclear. The game's greatest-ever, the eight-time Ballon D'Or winner was last out as kick-off approached to try and maximise his impact, with the organisers insisting each player arrived on his own and walked half the length of the pitch. As he emerged Messi wore a genuinely quizzical look on his face. Bizarrely the rigmarole delayed the start by seven minutes. Who could blame him. He and Miami were shoe-horned into this competition by the onlooking Fifa president and it did not appear like a comfortable fit. The tactics from Fifa appeared to be the same as they were from Miami: Leo just be there and do something. 'Messi, Messi,' rang around. But he was quiet. Playing the full 90 minutes, which almost felt contractual, despite the 30-degree heat, the 37-year-old could not quite do it although there were shrieks when a free-kick clipped a post and struck the side-netting. Many thought he had scored. How Infantino will have wished he did. 64' DID THE BALL NOT GO INSIDE THE NET?!? Messi's freekick fools everyone 😮 Watch the @FIFACWC | June 14 - July 13 | Every Game | Free | | #FIFACWC #TakeItToTheWorld — DAZN Football (@DAZNFootball) June 15, 2025 In injury-time, his cross was tipped onto the crossbar. Again close. In fact against Al-Ahly Messi was not even Miami's best Argentinean thirtysomething. That was 38-year-old goalkeeper Oscar Ustari who made a host of fine saves and repelled a first-half penalty from former Aston Villa forward Trezeguet. @OscarUstari the @InterMiamiCF goalie put on an absolute clinic in the opening game of the #FIFACWC - enjoy all the electric saves on repeat 🚀🚀🚀 and treat yourself to all the @FIFACWC games on 👉 — DAZN Football (@DAZNFootball) June 15, 2025 Messi was not alone in being underwhelming but he did offer more than his creaking former Barcelona team-mates Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets. Suarez's most noteworthy contribution was to get booked. The strange nature of it all, more akin to a pre-season friendly, was summed up by the half-time 'entertainment' with 'Team Fifa' taking on 'Team Speed' – yes, a three-man side involving and named after the American YouTuber and Cristiano Ronaldo-fanatic who now appears to be Infantino's go-to media guy, IShowSpeed. With Infantino, flanked by Ronaldo – the Brazilian one – and Roberto Baggio watching on from the stands it was a crossbar challenge. Speed, of course, and former players Sergio Aguero and Pepe – whose effort was wayward and hit a fan on the head – never came close. Only Alessandro Del Piero, for Team Fifa, succeeded in nonchalantly chipping against the goal-frame and was subjected to an in-depth, on pitch interview. 'How you feel?' he was asked. 'I feel great,' the World Cup winner said and off he went. So there you go. And, so, this is what football is in danger of being reduced to. The fans of the Egyptian champions, Al-Ahly, made an atmosphere and saved the occasion but most of them, in truth, had travelled from other parts of the United States to see Messi. Football almost as a zoo and the only noise louder than the Al-Ahly supporters was the kerching from Fifa. Even so interest has been next to none in this inflated, 32-team Infantino vanity project that was imposed upon America ahead of next year's World Cup and its opening fixture was in keeping with that. There is no real buzz. No actual anticipation. No local excitement. Not even a poster or a billboard. The weekend interest is in the ice hockey, the Stanley Cup, involving the Florida Panthers, not a competition no-one has heard of although there was a cheer when Miami's co-owner David Beckham – the newly ennobled Sir David – walked pitchside. David Beckham: "It's been an emotional week" 🤩 Inter Miami's owner cannot believe that the long wait is over 🔥 WATCH @AlAhly - @InterMiamiCF in the @FIFACWC now | June 14 - July 13 | Every Game | Free | | #FIFACWC #TakeItToTheWorld — DAZN Football (@DAZNFootball) June 14, 2025 Sluggish ticket sales and hopeless public transport Empty seats? It had been a concern. But, in truth, most were taken even if the announcement that the attendance was 60,927 inside this 65,000-capacity arena looked like an Arsenal-style 'tickets sold' policy. Still there were not swathes of unoccupied stands, as had been feared and as are expected later in this tournament at matches that are much more difficult to sell. Mamelodi Sundowns against Fluminense back here on Wednesday, in the 3pm heat, on a working day, anyone? The bigger issue was getting in, and getting away afterwards, and given this American Football venue, the home of the Miami Dolphins, will also stage matches at next year's World Cup that must be improved. But will Fifa care? Infantino insisted on big stadiums and high-ticket prices. Eight of the 12 venues can hold at least 65,000 fans and only 12 games are being hosted in MLS-dedicated stadiums. Greed took this fixture away from Miami's 21,000-seat Chase Stadium – in fact this was the first time they have ever played here – and while we were repeatedly told that America was ready and gagging for this $1billion event it does not look like it. Transport to the stadium was and always has been a nightmare with no trains or buses coming close and Uber drivers dropping off passengers a mile away. One entrepreneurial local was charging $20 a ride in a golf buggy to cover that final mile and was doing a roaring trade. Inevitably the stadium was slow to fill. Many missed kick-off because of extra security, a second cordon away from the stadium to prevent a repeat of last summer's chaotic Copa America final when thousands of ticketless Colombians and Argentineans stormed their way into the ground. Staging the opening game here, with Miami, might have felt logical but was probably also a mistake. Miami season-ticket holders have had their chance to see Messi. Why would they pay more to watch him against a team they know nothing about? Even so stories of $4 tickets being offered to fill up the stadium were a little disingenuous given those tickets were for students at Miami Dade College, where some of the poorest go, and many of whom work as volunteers at this venue. Yes, those tickets were unsold but it felt a bit harsh. Not that Fifa or this Club World Cup is making itself easy to love. Or America, either, with controversy over whether US immigration officials are attending matches to try catch people out or are simply being drafted in as necessary added security because these are big events. Tournaments, including World Cups, often start slowly with momentum building and maybe that will happen here when the big teams face-off in the latter stages. But, right now, this still feels like a competition too far. For players, for fans and for football. If not for finance.
