“WONDERFUL CELEBRATION OF A WONDERFUL WOMAN,” Justin wrote in all caps.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY @LORIHARVEY LOVE YOU,” he added.

The photos showed Justin and Hailey celebrating Lori, 27, with a fancy dinner.

One of the photos had fans doing a double take as it appeared Justin was kissing Lori, but it turned out to be a photo of him kissing wife Hailey.

Fans flocked to the comments to react to the tribute.

“Third picture had me double taking!! I’m like is that Lori?!!!” one person wrote.

“I took a second look on the third picture cause I thought you kissed Lori,” another added.

“The photos and caption are weird for a married man,” came another comment.

Lori shared her own photos from the dinner party on Instagram showing her wearing a sheer mini dress with green velour patches.

“All I wanted for my birthday was an intimate dinner at home with some of my favorite people. My heart is very full,” she captioned the post.

Lori’s photos included all her friends and siblings at the bash.

The daughter of TV host Steve Harvey shared another post as she showed off her outfit in multiple poses.

She captioned it: “Brought in 27 with a full heart and an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. Thank you guys for all the birthday love,”

Lori also gave fans a sneak peek at the decadent menu she and her guests were treated to, including caviar, toro nigiri, and wagyu steak.

Lori is reportedly single after dating Damson Idris in recent months.

Just last week, however, she sparked reconciliation rumors with the British actor.

Lori split from boyfriend Michael B. Jordan in 2022 after a year and a half of dating.

SPLIT RUMORS

Hailey and Justin sparked rumors that their marriage may be in trouble after seemingly spending New Year’s Eve apart.

Hailey posted photos of herself on the beach to show off her tropical vacation with Kendall Jenner, 28.

Fans took to Hailey’s comments section to ask where Justin was.

One fan asked, “Excuse me, where’s the Justin and Hailey New Year’s pic? It’s literally y’all’s brand.”

“Where’s Justin?” a second asked while another added, “Divorce coming? Cause you both are acting shady.”

‘IMMATURE’ JUSTIN

Hailey and Justin – who tied the knot in 2018 – have been struggling due to the singer’s “needy” behavior, sources claimed in October.

“He acts like a needy kid all the time and she’s constantly having to apologize for him and try to get him to act like an adult,” a source told Radar.

The insider also claimed Hailey is over Justin’s “needy kid tendencies” and “immature behavior.”

She was supposedly left mortified during an event the couple attended to promote a new drop for Rhode.

“[Their marriage is] based on Justin’s childish needs and it’s doomed,” another source divulged, according to the National Enquirer.

The informant added, “They got married very young and didn’t know what they were getting into, and it’s been up and down ever since.”

HEADED FOR DIVORCE?

Hailey’s fans believe she’s planning to divorce Justin after they noticed she had archived and removed images of her husband from her Instagram feed.

A user pointed out the model’s lack of posts on Reddit and noted that she was down to just 607 photos as of December 18.

“Gearing up for a divorce and a rebrand away from all things Bieber & her past,” they wrote over a screenshot of Hailey’s Instagram.

“There’s a theory that she’s archiving all her pre-Bieber yacht-baiting posts to gear up for a Christian pregnant housewife persona,” another joked.

While there is no official confirmation, a source close to the couple said things haven’t been perfect.

The insider told Radar Online: “He acts like a needy kid all the time and she’s constantly having to apologize for him and try to get him to act like an adult.”
