Britney Spears is defending Justin Bieber after he faced criticism for sharing photos of himself at home with his son as part of his Swag II promotional campaign via PEOPLE.
In several black-and-white photos released on Friday, September 5th, Justin, 31st, is seen shirtless, wearing jeans over sweatpants, while holding his son, Jack Blues, who is 1 year old and facing away from the camera. Justin shares Jack with his wife, Hailey Baldwin Bieber.
In an Instagram post shared on Tuesday, September 9th, Spears reposted one of Justin’s photos, writing the caption, “Shame on those who judged my home in my pajamas !!! I’m in love with this picture !!! So so beautiful !!! 📷: @lilbieber.”
Justin frequently shares photos of his son on social media, ensuring his son’s face is obscured. On Monday, September 8, the Grammy winner posted several photos on Instagram featuring himself and his son enjoying a kayaking trip together on the water. In the pictures, both of them are seen from behind, gazing out at the scenery.
Justin wore a red beanie along with a matching red sweatshirt and sweatpants. In one of the photos, Jack is sitting on his father’s lap, looking out over the water.
Along with photos of Jack enjoying their day on the water, the “Peaches” singer added a couple of Instagram selfies of himself in the same red beanie. “🍒,” he captioned the selfie post.
The cryptic post from Spears comes shortly after the pop star reflected on her marriage to Sam Asghari in an Instagram post shared on August 24th.
“We’re just people so fragile and human the hardest years of my life were my two sons gone for those 3 years …” Spears began in the caption, which has since been deleted. “I was cut off from calling or texting and I remember in shock my secret to survival was denial and a lot of tears its weird me and Sam were married but it almost felt like a fake distraction to help me deal with it …”
Spears, who shares sons Jayden James and Sean Preston, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, was married to Asghari for 14 months before Asghari filed for divorce in August 2023. Their split was finalized in May 2024.
