Justin Bieber makes rare comment about son Jack at hockey game after shutting down ‘harmful’ drug rumors

Justin Bieber is focused on fatherhood.

The “Sorry” singer made a rare comment about his 6-month-old son, Jack, at a charity hockey game on Sunday after his rep shut down speculation about his mental and physical health.

During a break in Skate for LA Strong at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Bieber spoke to a sideline reporter who asked how “soon” he is “looking to get [Jack] on skates.”

“As soon as possible,” the 30-year-old, who grew up playing hockey, replied with a smile.

The reporter, Jackie Redmond, then asked what is “too early” for the little one, to which Bieber responded, “It’s never too early.”

The Grammy winner and celebrities including Snoop Dogg, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn and Steve Carell participated in Sunday’s game to benefit the victims of last month’s devastating LA wildfires.

“This is everything,” Bieber said when asked about the cause. “We’re just looking to have a good time and to just show that when we all come together, good things can happen.”

The “Peaches” crooner seemed to be in good spirits at the event and even got into a playful fight with former NHL player Jeremy Roenick at one point.

It is unclear whether Bieber’s wife, Hailey Bieber, was present for the outing, but she reposted the video of the pop star talking about their son on her Instagram Story with the caption, “😍 hehe.”

Justin played in the hockey game just hours after his rep slammed fans who have been spreading rumors that he is using drugs.

The publicist told TMZ earlier Sunday that the gossip was “exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”

Justin’s rep added that this year has been “very transformative for him,” and he has changed his priorities to focus on his family and his health.

The “Yummy” singer, who rose to fame at age 14, is no stranger to facing speculation about his life, but the chatter heightened last week after he was seen swaying and scratching himself at Hailey’s skincare event.

Fans also noticed that Justin had been photographed visiting at least five different spas across the country in just three weeks.

A source told Page Six exclusively at the time that Hailey, 28, was “worried” for Justin but unsure “how to manage things at this point.”

“Justin is going through a hard time, and Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there’s only so much she can do,” the insider shared.

“Hailey loves Justin with all her heart, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s happy,” they added.

The Biebers have been married since September 2018 and welcomed Jack in August 2024.
