Khloé Kardashian Reacts to Justin Bieber’s New Photo With Kendall Jenner originally appeared on Parade.
Justin and Hailey Bieber’s son, Jack Blues, turns one this week. And in the days leading up to his big milestone, the couple has been sprinkling Instagram with sweet glimpses of their little one—including a shot of him in a bubblegum-pink outfit and tiny hat, and another of him rocking a lemon-lime ribbed set while lounging barefoot in the grass.
But while fans were busy melting over Jack content, it was the 31-year-old Canadian singer’s latest post with Kendall Jenner that ended up hijacking the spotlight. And who popped up in the comments? None other than Jenner’s sister, Khloé Kardashian.
On Saturday, August 16, Justin uploaded a moody snap from a night out. In the shot, Jenner, 29, appears to be mid-story, hands flailing like she’s explaining quantum physics. The “Peaches” hitmaker is beside her in a ribbed tank and cargos, staring ahead with zero context. In the comments section, Kardashian, 41, dropped a string of red hearts—an unofficial Kardashian stamp of approval—while Hailey, 28, slid in with: “It’s always Kendall telling a story with her hands.”
Fans, naturally, had thoughts.
“Justin trying to lock in to what Kendall is saying is SENDING me,” one person joked.
“‘So anyways last week I had this bussin sandwich. It was like this big,’” another imagined her monologue.
“She’s probably telling him how to cut a cucumber and he’s just trying to picture it in his head but can’t cause it just sounds wrong,” someone else added, a direct hit at Jenner’s now-iconic cucumber-cutting struggle on The Kardashians.
Not all of the comments were lighthearted, though.
“This man posted up with everybody but his wife,” one user noted.
“Kendall is always too close to somebody’s man,” someone else added.
“There’s more chemistry than with the wife,” another wrote.
Meanwhile, others defended the trio’s friendship.
“What’s funny is Hailey probably took this picture and everyone is writing think pieces — Justin is the only person that can’t take a photo with a friend and have it just be a photo with a friend,” one person pointed out.
“It’s her best friend and they are all lifetime friends. Y’all act like posting anything with another female is diabolical,” another argued.
“Women can also have faithful friends, we just have to know how to choose them 🤍 leave your traumas,” someone else added.
For anyone trying to untangle the dynamics: Justin and Hailey first met back in 2009 when her dad, Stephen Baldwin, introduced them backstage at the Today show. Hailey later met Jenner in 2012 at The Hunger Games premiere, and the two quickly became close—Jenner even told Vogue during a Met Gala red carpet chat that they’re basically “sisters.”
Meanwhile, Justin and Jenner started orbiting the same friend group in the early 2010s, but when romance rumors peaked around 2014–2015 after a few dinners and vacation snapshots, Jenner shut them down, calling him a “longtime friend.” Justin doubled down on that narrative in a Billboard cover story, noting his relationship with Jenner was never serious.
As for Kardashian, 41, her reaction makes perfect sense—she’s been Team Kendall and Team Hailey for years. In September 2023, she cheered Justin and Hailey’s fifth wedding anniversary on Instagram, writing, “This makes my heart happy 😍😍 I love you twoooooo ❤️.”
By August 2024, when the couple announced the arrival of baby Jack with a close-up of his foot, Kardashian was right back in the comments—this time writing, “Jack Blues!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! I love this tiny foot so so much.”
The Good American co-founder is just as vocal when it comes to her sisters, once calling it “insulting” when people refer to Kendall and Kylie Jenner as her half-sisters—a stance she made crystal clear on her Khloé in Wonderland podcast in March, proving she does not play about her girls.
