Hailey Bieber received the Beauty Innovator Award at The Daily Front Row’s 9th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards on April 24, 2025, recognizing her achievements with her skincare brand, Rhode. During her acceptance speech, the 28-year-old model and entrepreneur expressed heartfelt gratitude to her husband, Justin Bieber, for his unwavering support. “I want to thank my husband for supporting this dream of mine from the beginning and for always cheering me on,” she said. Her acknowledgment comes amid ongoing public speculation about their marriage and Justin’s mental health.

Rhode, founded by Hailey in 2022, quickly gained popularity with products like the Peptide Glazing Fluid and Peptide Lip Treatment. Hailey emphasized that Rhode is more than just a beauty brand; it represents a lifestyle and a community. “I didn’t want to start a brand for the sake of starting a brand,” she explained. “I really wanted to create an entire world.”

At the event, Hailey wore a striking dark blue velvet midi dress with a high slit, pairing it with black pumps and minimal jewelry. Her look was complemented by a sleek hairstyle and a subtle makeup palette, highlighting her understated elegance.

Hailey’s public support for Justin comes amid ongoing rumors about their relationship. Despite the speculation, sources close to the couple have affirmed their commitment to each other. “Hailey is not on the verge of wanting a divorce or leaving him,” a source told PEOPLE. “If anything, she’s sad about how hard everyone is being on him now that he finally is coming back out of his shell.” The couple welcomed their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024. Their focus remains on providing a stable environment for their son.

Justin Bieber has been open about his mental health struggles, sharing his feelings of being overwhelmed on social media. In response, Hailey has been a steadfast source of support. “Hailey is trying to be as supportive as possible,” a source told Us Weekly. “It can be hard for Hailey, but she’s always there for him and is understanding.” She has also addressed the impact of public speculation on her mental well-being, emphasizing the importance of focusing on their personal relationship.

Despite the challenges, Hailey continues to thrive in her professional endeavors. Her recognition at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards underscores her growing influence in the beauty industry. With Rhode’s success and her commitment to her family, Hailey Bieber remains a prominent figure both in the public eye and in her personal life.
