EXCLUSIVE: HAILEY BIEBER BEGGED JUSTIN TO ATTEND MET GALA — HE CHOSE HOCKEY INSTEAD!

“SHE’S GETTING USED TO BEING ALONE,” SAYS SOURCE

While Hailey Bieber wowed solo on the 2025 Met Gala red carpet, her husband of five years was miles away in spirit, parked on the couch and glued to a hockey game — a move that’s left even their inner circle raising eyebrows.

“He’s made it clear: hockey is more important than his wife,” one well-placed source tells #ShuterScoop. “She begged him to come. She didn’t want to walk alone again.”

Instead, the 31-year-old pop star posted a muted Instagram Story of himself watching the Toronto Maple Leafs face off against the Florida Panthers — while Hailey posed for the cameras, very much alone.

“She’s out representing their brand and he’s home watching hockey?” a fashion insider scoffs. “It’s not a great look — and people are noticing.”

Though reps for the couple insist things are fine, multiple insiders say the absence stung — especially as Hailey continues to put on a united front while promoting their joint ventures and navigating intense media pressure.

“She wanted him there. She needed the support,” says a source close to the model. “But Justin’s been on edge lately — the fan speculation, the pressure to get back in the studio, and all the constant tabloid noise — it’s weighing on him.”

But behind the scenes, there’s growing concern.

“They’re living more separate lives than ever,” whispers a source. “She’s getting used to doing things alone — and that’s dangerous territory for any marriage.”

One thing is clear: whatever’s going on between them, it was loud and clear on fashion’s quietest red carpet moment.
