Justin Bieber took time during his high-profile Aspen vacation to share a poignant Martin Luther King Jr. tribute, marking a thoughtful pause in what has been a social media-documented winter retreat.
The Grammy-winning artist, 30, posted an image of the civil rights leader on Monday alongside the quote, “Hate can’t drive out hate only love can do that,” garnering substantial engagement from his 280 million Instagram followers. The MLK Day post stood in notable contrast to Bieber’s recent stream of casual vacation content, including a series of laid-back underwear photos that made headlines earlier in the week.
Bieber and wife Hailey have been spotted throughout Aspen’s exclusive venues with an entourage of celebrity friends, marking their first extended vacation since welcoming their son Jack Blues in August 2024. The couple’s winter retreat coincides with an exodus of Los Angeles celebrities seeking respite from the recent wildfires.
The star-studded group, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner, has maintained a visible presence in the upscale ski town. Hailey Bieber was photographed at Casa Tua restaurant wearing a statement piece from Ferragamo’s Resort 2025 collection—an oversized fur coat paired with patent leather boots, demonstrating the model’s continuing influence in winter fashion trends.
Earlier in the week, the Biebers, accompanied by model Lori Harvey, spent time at Western wear establishment Kemo Sabe, where sources report they selected matching black beaver felt cowboy hats. The couple also documented moments from a private ice skating session, with Justin sharing a post praising his wife as “the greatest woman I have and will ever know.”
The vacation represents a careful balance of personal and public life for the Biebers, who have maintained a steady social media presence while navigating their recent transition to parenthood. Their Aspen stay has drawn particular attention for its mix of high-profile social gatherings and more intimate family moments, all while Justin continues to engage with broader social issues through posts like his MLK Day tribute.
