Justin Bieber Relaxes With a Cigar During Seoul Trip as Carl Lentz Revives Old Rift

Justin Bieber appeared to be taking it easy during a visit to Seoul with his wife, Hailey Bieber, in photos described by Page Six. The singer was pictured reclining in a seat, chatting with friends and holding a cigar, while a paper cup sat in his hand. He wore a blue-and-gray tracksuit with red-tinted sunglasses; Hailey was seen beside him in an all-black outfit, an oversized leather jacket and sunglasses. The relaxed outing comes as former pastor Carl Lentz has spoken about the end of his relationship with the couple. Lentz and his wife, Laura, have alleged that Justin and Hailey withdrew an offer to let their family stay in the couple’s New York apartment after Carl’s infidelity scandal became public in 2020. According to the report, the Lentz family had been staying in the apartment while considering a move to Brooklyn. Laura wrote in her book, “Overcoming Infidelity: 10 Conversations to Help You Heal the Hurt,” that the family had been planning a potential relocation for months. She said the Biebers had initially told Carl and Laura, along with their three children, they could use the home for as long as they needed. The Lentzes say that arrangement changed after news of Carl’s conduct emerged. Carl has accused the singer of abruptly turning his back on him and his family, while the account in Laura’s book presents their view of how the housing offer ended. The claims concern events from 2020; the Seoul photographs show Justin spending time with Hailey and friends on a later trip.
