Justin and Hailey Bieber Have a Blast at Disneyland Following ‘Cryptic’ Posts and Drug Use Controversy

The Biebers enjoyed a day away at the Happiest Place on Earth. 

On Sunday, March 16, Justin Bieber, 31, shared a carousel of photos with his wife, Hailey Baldwin Bieber, 28, and friends enjoying some attractions during a visit to Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.

One photo shows Justin and Hailey sitting together on a roller coaster with a couple of friends visible in the row behind them. Another includes the couple playfully holding up their blasters as they take on the interactive “Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters” attraction.

Two more photos are selfies of the couple, who welcomed their first child, Jack Blue, in August 2024, looking happy in Mickey and Minnie ears, including one on what appears to be the park’s main thoroughfare, Main Street, U.S.A.

The photos from their outing were posted the same day the “STAY” singer shared cryptic messages on his Instagram Stories, where he admitted he felt as though he was “drowning” and must strive to “let hate go.” 

“I was always told when I was a kid not to hate,” the post began. “But it made me feel like I wasn’t allowed to have it and so I didn’t tell anyone I’ve had it.” The post went on to say that he felt as though he had a “drowning” feeling but felt “unsafe to acknowledge it.” 

“I think we can only let hate go by first acknowledging its there,” the message concluded. “How couldn’t we feel hate from all of the hurt we have experienced?” 

The ominous post came just weeks after the “Ghost” singer’s appearance and behavior sparked allegations of drug use. 

However, in a statement first published by TMZ on Feb. 23, a representative for the singer spoke out, calling any narratives about Justin’s health or allegations of drug use false and “exhausting.” The rep added that the past year had been “very transformative” since the singer has “ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.” 

More recently, the pop star celebrated his 31st birthday on March 1. A source told PEOPLE at the time that the festivities include a “fun, relaxing getaway” to an Idaho ranch with Hailey, their son, and friends. 

The rep also told PEOPLE at the time that Justin is “doing well” and not feeling any “pressure” as he enters this new phase of life.

“Justin has a few priorities that he focuses on every day — Hailey, baby Jack, and new music. This is his life now and he loves it,” the insider noted. “He’s working at his own pace and spending as much time with his family as he can.”
