Justin Bieber celebrated Sexyy Red on her birthday with a little kiss.
In a vacuum, it’s cute! But fans are contrasting his smiling face with everything else that they’ve seen lately.
His most recent activities have made him seem miserable, troubled, or even unstable.
Is Justin really “happier” with the rapper than he is with his own wife? Or are fans jumping to conclusions?

On Thursday, April 17, Justin Bieber took to Instagram to show off a video in which he celebrated Sexyy Red’s birthday.
The rapper turned 27 on Tuesday. And Justin helped her celebrate.
Part of that celebration, the Biebs’ own post revealed, was giving her a friendly kiss on the cheek.
As you can see, this was not an intimate kiss. This was not a sexual kiss.
The video even shows Sexyy Red laughing with delight at the sweet gesture. That was all.
No one is reasonably accusing Justin of “cheating” or anything of the sort. Rather, comments focus upon his apparent mood.

“Why does he look happier with her than with Hailey,” questioned one Instagram commenter.
“I forgot he could smile,” remarked another.
An additional social media user described Justin as: “Happiest I’ve seen you in a minute.”

Other commenters, however, were quick to point out that it’s normal for one or both spouses to enjoy a night out with friends. Emphasis upon enjoy.
We might also add that Justin is at a party here. The gloomy photos of Justin to which people refer tend to be when he’s walking from place to place and getting mobbed by photographers.
Most of us smile more when we’re celebrating a friend’s birthday than we do when we’re making our way through a crowd to report for jury duty or whatever.

Just for the record, Hailey herself commented with three heart eyes emojis.
While we can grudgingly acknowledge the possibility that a jealous or otherwise upset spouse might overcompensate with a triple-emoji reply, it seems more likely that she’s just happy to see her husband help a friend celebrate.
Whatever is or is not going on in their marriage, neither of them seem up for broadcasting it to the world right now.

Hailey did post a response, by the way
Just for the record, Hailey herself commented with three heart eyes emojis.
