Global pop superstar Justin Bieber and Rhode founder Hailey Bieber marked their eighth wedding anniversary on September 25, 2026, sharing a deeply intimate, unpretentious glimpse into their domestic life with a series of candid photographs showing the couple playing pool together in relaxed home attire.

The couple, who legally married at a New York City courthouse in September 2018 before hosting a formal South Carolina wedding celebration a year later, have weathered nearly a decade of intense online divorce rumors and social media speculation. Rather than organizing a lavish celebrity bash, the Biebers spent their anniversary playing billiards, laughing over pizza, and celebrating their new season of life following the arrival of their son, Jack Blues Bieber, earlier this year.

Posting directly to his verified social media accounts alongside the candid pool table photos, Justin Bieber wrote verbatim: "8 years until infinity ❤️ NEW BEGINNINGS ♾️"
