NEED TO KNOW
Justin Bieber’s mini-me may not be able to walk yet, but he’s already following in his dad’s hockey-loving footsteps!
After debuting a new Instagram username, the “Love Yourself” singer, 31, shared a dozen posts on Friday, June 27, including several from his lakeside family vacation with wife Hailey Bieber and son Jack Blues. In some of the snaps, the musician revealed that the couple’s 10-month-old already has a sporty side.
In several different posts, the Canadian musician, who now goes by @lilbieber on Instagram, showed off Jack wearing a jersey for the Toronto Maple Leafs — his longtime team — from a series of different angles.

Specifically, the little one repped Auston Matthews — a center and captain for the NHL team — with the baby-size jersey, which he paired with some baggy jeans and matching blue socks.
Matthews acknowledged the support, commenting “💙,” on one of the singer’s posts. The Maple Leafs also recognized the shout-out, writing, “💙💙💙,” in the comments of another carousel of photos of Jack.
Another snap of the 10-month-old revealed that hockey is not the only sport the proud parents have introduced to Jack.
In the photo, the little one sits next to a soccer ball in a field, wearing a blue and gray hoodie and looking away from the camera. Justin adorned the picture with a fairy emoji and captioned it, “🧍♂️🧍♂️🧍♂️🧍♂️🧍♂️🧍♂️🧍♂️🧍♂️.”

This is almost identical to Justin’s captions for the other posts, and appears to be a nod to his viral moment telling paparazzi that he is “standing on business.” He used the person standing emojis alongside every recent post he shared of Jack, which also included snaps of him smiling down at his son, who sat in a delivery box.
Justin also shared a solo shot of Hailey, 28, and a photo of their son next to what appeared to be the Rhode founder’s hands.
In line with Hailey and Justin’s ongoing decision to keep Jack’s face off of social media, the father of one cropped all of the pictures of the jersey-wearing baby — or shared a snap of the back of his head — so his face was not visible.

Justin and Hailey got married in September 2018. Six years later, in May 2024, they renewed their wedding vows in Hawaii and revealed that they were expecting their first child together.
