Justin Bieber and wife Hailey Bieber stepped out for a rare red carpet moment at the 2026 Grammy Awards — which marked the singer’s first appearance at the event in four years.

Justin, 31, and Hailey, 29, matched in black ensembles while posing for photos together ahead of the Sunday, February 1, awards show at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

The couple appeared in great spirits while smiling for photographers on music’s biggest night, where Justin is nominated for four awards including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for Swag, Best Pop Solo Performance for “Daisies” and Best R&B Performance for “Yukon.” He is also set to perform during the telecast.

Prior to Sunday’s ceremony, Justin and Hailey most recently attended the Grammys in 2022. At the time, the couple got cozy on the red carpet, and later that night, he performed his hit song “Peaches.”

Throughout his career, Justin has earned two Grammy Awards and 27 nominations. He previously won Best Dance Recording for “Where Are Ü Now” with Skrillex and Diplo in 2016 and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “10,000 Hours” with Dan + Shay in 2021.

Justin and Hailey have been married since September 2018 and welcomed their son, Jack, in August 2024. However, in June 2025, Luxury Handbag Shopping learned that the couple hit a bump in their relationship.

The month after Justin released Swag, a source exclusively told Us that the “tension [had] settled” between him and Hailey.

“The intense focus and emotional toll of creating new music had put a strain on their marriage,” the insider revealed in August 2025. “When Justin is in the studio making new music, he gets completely consumed and shuts everything else out.”

After the album dropped, Justin and Hailey were “able to finally reconnect more” on a summer vacation with their son to “their favorite place in Idaho,” according to the source.

“There’s a sense of relief on both sides,” the insider told Us. “Justin’s behavior has been more relaxed. He felt a lot of pressure hanging over him and has been in a better mental headspace these last few weeks. He is very happy there have been positive reviews of the album and that fans like it.”

As far as where Hailey stood at the time, the source noted she “takes it day by day and is very patient” with Justin.

“There’s still work to be done in their marriage,” the insider added, “but they’re in a much better place.”

Amid Justin’s musical comeback, Hailey encouraged him to perform at the upcoming 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April.

“Hailey was a big influence on Justin’s decision to headline Coachella,” a source told Us in September 2025. “She nudged him and is always in his corner hyping him up.”

A second insider agreed at the time, “Hailey was definitely the driving force behind Justin doing Coachella. As someone who grew up on his music, she always reminds him that he’s the Justin Bieber. She knows firsthand how much it means to his fans to see him back on stage, so she was like, ‘You have to do this!’”
