Hailey Bieber packs on PDA in viral 2016 throwback with Justin Bieber

Hailey Bieber joined the viral 2016 trend, sharing throwback photos that revisit the early days of her relationship with Justin Bieber.

On January 16, the Rhode founder took part in the viral trend, posting a throwback photo showing a steamy kiss with her now-husband.

The 29-year-old captioned the post same as Kylie Jenner, who wrote on her trend photos, “you just had to be there.”

The photo dates back to 2016, a pivotal year in the couple’s relationship. At the time, Justin publicly acknowledged hesitating to commit, citing fears of hurting Hailey if things went wrong. 

Hailey later confirmed they were not exclusive during that period.

The pair went on to reconcile in 2018, marrying later that year. In August 2024, they welcomed their first child, son Jack Blues Bieber.

Hailey’s post also featured throwback photos with Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner, alongside personal selfies from the era, as part of the nostalgia-driven trend sweeping social media.
