Justin Bieber Hugs & Kisses Friend Jaden Smith On The Cheek During Coachella Reunion

Singers Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith shared a sweet moment over the weekend at Coachella. Bieber and Smith have maintained a friendship since the two collaborated on Bieber’s song “Never Say Never” as teenagers.

Smith, 25, was captured on video hugging Bieber, 30, from behind in a VIP area at the music festival. Bieber then kissed Smith on the cheek before the two engaged in conversation. Since they collaborated in 2010, when Bieber was 16 and Smith was 11, they have maintained a close friendship. “Never Say Never” was featured as the theme song for Smith’s movie The Karate Kid, starring martial artist Jackie Chan.

Bieber’s wife, Hailey Bieber, was spotted at Coachella with him. The couple was seen in the crowd during Lana Del Rey‘s set on opening night. Recently, rumors that the Biebers are going through a divorce have circulated five years after they tied the knot in 2018. The couple denied these claims.

In February, Hailey’s father, Stephen Baldwin, shared a video of Victor Marx, founder of All Things Possible Ministries, asking fans to pray for Bieber and Hailey.

“Christians, please, when you think of Justin and Hailey, take a moment to offer a little prayer for them to have wisdom and protection and to draw close to the Lord,” Marx said in the video. 

Last year, Hailey stirred up controversy on social media for allegedly dissing Bieber’s ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. Their social media exchanges made fans believe the two had an ongoing feud. In March 2023, Gomez told fans to stop bullying Hailey after she said she received “death threats and such hateful negativity.”
