Has Justin Bieber gotten a new tattoo to pay tribute to his wife, Hailey Baldwin Bieber?

That is the question fans are wondering after Justin, 31, was spotted with an "H22" tattoo on a recent livestream, per the New York Post's Page Six.

A photo from the livestream posted on sites like Reddit and X shows that piece of art on his wrist below where his full arm sleeve tattoos begin.

Fans have suggested that Justin chose the number 22 for the body art as a tribute to his wife, 28, who celebrates her birthday on Nov. 22, and possibly their son Jack Blues.

While the couple announced the birth of their son in an Instagram post on Aug. 23, 2024, fans believe that he may have been born on Aug. 22 due to an Instagram post from their friend Adwoa Aboah, according to E!.

In her Aug. 27 post, Aboah announced the arrival of her daughter, Shy Trinity Afua Wheatley, with her boyfriend, U.S. skater Daniel Wheatley. Hailey commented on the post, "😍😍😍😍😍😍 baby Shy!!!!," to which Aboah replied, "@haileybieber a day apart. 💔💔💔🐣🐣🐣."

Other fans also speculate that the tattoo is meant to recognize both of his family members due to how the H is written.

"It is like an H and a J intertwined with each other. This is a reference to Hailey and Jack because they were both born on the 22nd of November and August, respectively. Makes perfect sense if you ask me," one commenter wrote on Reddit.

"Someone else commented that it’s a j+h intertwined for hailey and jack! super cute," another comment read.

The couple tied the knot in September 2018 in a New York City courthouse, just two months after getting engaged. They later celebrated with a larger ceremony held in front of family and friends a year later.

Most recently, Hailey put online chatter to rest when fans speculated she unfollowed Justin after his Instagram account got deactivated (then reactivated) after going live on the app, per multiple outlets, including InStyle and Cosmopolitan.

The mom of one commented on a viral TikTok video that included a screenshot of her "Following" list without her husband's handle on it.

"It's a glitch. Didn't unfollow him. Hope this helps," Hailey wrote. The incident occurred two months after Justin seemingly unfollowed his wife on the app amid buzz around their alleged marital issues. He later confirmed, however, that "someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. S--- is getting suss out here."
