INDIO, CALIFORNIA: Hailey Bieber never misses a chance to support her husband Justin Bieber. Whether it’s cheering him on, giving him a shoutout through posts, or resharing special moments, she consistently shows up for him. This time, she shared an old clip of her husband, adding to the wave of support.

She posted the clip on her Instagram Stories along with a few other updates, just ahead of Justin’s Coachella performance. The 32-year-old is set to headline Coachella for two stage performances on April 11 and 18. This marks his first major comeback performance since 2022. He has previously appeared at the festival as a guest in 2022, 2019, and 2014.

Hailey Bieber shares throwback video just hours before Justin’s Coachella appearance

On Saturday, April 11, Hailey posted a 10-second clip on her Instagram Stories. The video shows a young Justin during his 'Baby' era, complete with his signature hairstyle, singing a line that goes, “I don’t think you’re ready for this jelly” from 'Bootylicious' by Destiny's Child. 

While the clip quickly caught attention, it also raised questions. Hailey didn’t share any details about when or where the video was filmed, or who recorded it. It’s unclear whether Justin filmed it himself or sent it to someone else. The location in the video also remains unknown.

Even without context, the timing feels intentional. Hailey dropped the clip just hours before Justin’s big Coachella performance, making it a subtle yet meaningful show of support.

Justin Bieber's Coachella headlining performance marks a major return to stage

Justin is set to perform this weekend, taking the main stage for the festival’s Saturday night lineup. The performance marks his first time headlining the event and has already generated strong anticipation.

Social media has been buzzing as excitement builds, with users sharing leaked on-stage rehearsal clips and performance videos. The upcoming set has quickly become one of the most talked-about moments of the festival, with ongoing reactions and discussions across platforms.

The 'Let me love you' singer has faced challenges with live performances in recent years, including cancelling multiple shows. He had also spoken publicly about his mental health. His return to a large-scale stage like Coachella comes after a gap in major live appearances.

Justin last performed in front of a crowd of this size at the Rock in Rio in 2022. Following that, he cancelled the remaining dates of his 'Justice' world tour after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused temporary facial paralysis.

In recent months, he has slowly returned to performing. He performed songs from his recent 'Swag' project at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles on March 29. Before that, he performed 'Yukon' at the 2026 Grammys in February.
