Hailey and Justin Bieber Show PDA on Date Night After She Opened Up About Navigating Their 'Crazy Life' Together
Justin and Hailey Bieber are proving the rumors wrong with swag. On July 24, the couple were spotted hand in hand after a celebration event for his new album Swag, which was released on July 11 and marked his first record since 2021. In photos taken outside of Bird Street Club, the Rhode founder and Grammy winner held hands with Hailey's arm wrapped behind her husband. The parents of son Jack Blues, 11 months, dressed casually for the night, with the "Daisies" singer, 31, choosing an oversize lilac hoodie, jorts and beige slip-on sandals. He accessorized with a belt covered in heart embellishments, neon green socks, sunglasses and a white beanie. Hailey, 28, slipped into a black tank top, trousers and sunglasses, but added a pop of color with her lime green sandal heels. She also wore her brunette hair in a relaxed down hairstyle. Justin and Hailey's outing comes only a couple days after she opened up about navigating their "crazy life" deflecting speculation about their marriage. In her Vogue Italia interview published on July 23, the former model spoke about the difficulty of being scrutinized after giving birth to her son, a time that she called "the most delicate period I've ever been through in my life." "And having to do all this while constantly reading falsehoods on the internet like 'They're getting divorced' or 'They're no longer happy together' is something that really drives you crazy. I'm not even sure I can explain it. It's a crazy life." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. She noted that most of what's written about her online "isn't true" and she does, in fact, "have a real life. It's the one I share with my wonderful family, with my friends, with the people who know me and love me." The couple first met at a Today show event in 2009, and after denying any romantic connection in 2014, Justin publicly acknowledged their relationship in a 2016 GQ cover story, but denied exclusivity. Two years after splitting in 2016, the two got back together in June 2018 and got engaged one month later. That fall, the two tied the knot in a civil ceremony in New York City and celebrated their marriage in South Carolina in September 2019. In recent months, rumors grew about the health of their marriage following the birth of their little one. However, the two have dispelled the rumors in their own ways. Hailey fiercely defended their love in a Vogue profile published on May 20, saying: 'So I guess these bitches are going to be mad.' Justin, meanwhile, has referenced his wife in several songs, including 'Go Baby,' where he sings: 'That's my baby, she's iconic / iPhone case, lip gloss on it.' The two stars have also been supporting each other's business endeavors. "Hailey was by Justin's side for the whole creation of the album," a source told PEOPLE of how they're celebrating the record, which Justin made on his own terms. "Everyone knows Justin as a star and a performer. They now get to know the artist that Hailey has known all these years." When Hailey's beauty business was acquired by e.l.f. Beauty in a $1 billion deal, an insider told PEOPLE that Justin was "beyond proud." Read the original article on People

Beyoncé ends tour with a bang in Vegas: Destiny's Child, Jay-Z, Shaboozey join her onstage
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter closed the curtain on her historic "Cowboy Carter" tour, delivering a final performance filled with surprises, special guests and power as she commanded the stage one last time. The Grammy-winning singer kicked off her final concert at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas on July 25. The concert marked her last of two back-to-back shows at the stadium on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour. It also signaled the end of her "Cowboy Carter" era, concluding the 32-stop stadium tour. 'Thank you and welcome! We have a very special show for y'all tonight,' Beyoncé said as she opened the show. And true to her word, surprise guests and performances lit up the night. Of course, Beyoncé first debuted the highly anticipated show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. The tour proved to be revolutionary spectacle filled with fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and cultural commentary. Destiny's Child reunites onstage for surprise performance One of the biggest moments of the night came when Beyoncé brought out her former Destiny's Child group members for a surprise performance. Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams stunned the crowd as they joined her onstage, delivering throwback hits like their 2001 anthem 'Bootylicious' and 2005 hit 'Lose My Breath.' The crowd erupted as the trio sang their individual parts and danced in sync with energy and chemistry. Shaboozey joins Beyoncé for surprise performance during her Las Vegas finale Another surprise came when Shaboozey took the stage and performed with Beyoncé for the first time during Saturday's show. "Give it up for Shaboozey y'all," Beyoncé said as he joined her onstage. Donning a white tank and American flag scarf and pants, he performed their hit 'Sweet Honey Buckin'' while Beyoncé sang and danced alongside him. Shaboozey was first spotted at Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" tour in Chicago, attending her second show at Solider Field on May 17. As the show ended, she gave him a special shoutout. As fans know, Beyoncé released her eighth studio album "Cowboy Carter" March 29. The country album has made history on multiple fronts and put a spotlight on Black country artists. Jay-Z joins Beyoncé onstage, once again, during final Vegas show Beyoncé also welcomed husband Jay-Z to the stage as they sang their 2003 song, "Crazy in Love." He followed it up with his 2011 hit, 'Ni**as in Paris.' Jay has joined Beyoncé several times on this tour, after first making a surprise cameo in Paris on June 22, and fans were still stunned to see him the final night. Once again, they sealed the performance with a kiss. Bey also brought back fan-favorite tracks from her 2013 self-titled album: "Partition" and "Drunk in Love." In addition to special guests and surprise performances there were other notable highlights from the finale. Beyoncé debuts new looks on final night, including 'Deja Vu' shirt Of course, Beyoncé's tour has been a huge showcase of fashion and creativity. Each night, Beyoncé continues to blend high fashion and cowboy couture, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as they anticipate a new look. There's been many looks incorporating Western-glam: sparkly chaps, cowboy hats, boots and piles of fringe. During the final show, Beyoncé showcased even more fresh looks. One outfit, in particular, caught fans' eyes as she wore a 'Deja Blue' shirt in support of her 13-year-old daughter and lead dancer — Blue Ivy. Blue has left a lasting impression, often dancing front and center throughout the tour. This included a standout performance to Beyoncé's 2006 song 'Deja Vu.' Beyoncé receives standing ovations throughout the night from a roaring crowd As one might imagine, the night was charged with electric energy from start to finish. There were several standing ovations, loud cheers and moments where Beyoncé seemed to soak it all in. At one point she told the Vegas crowd they might actually be the loudest of the tour. 'I want y'all to know these tours take years and years and years. I actually started working on this tour before the 'Renaissance,'' she told the crowd before calling the night special. Earlier in the day, Beyoncé's Parkwood Entertainment company underscored the final concert's significance. "It's national day of the cowboy," the company posted on Instagram. "A tribute to the roots. A celebration of the style. And the final ride of the Cowboy Carter era. Today we honor the legacy of the Black cowboys who shaped this country — and the hive who showed up with pride, leather and the legacy in every look." The nine-city tour spanned the U.S. and Europe, captivating audience on both sides of the Atlantic.
