Justin and Hailey Bieber Cozy Up While Supporting the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Stanley Cup Playoffs

Justin Bieber was riding hard for the Toronto Maple Leafs Sunday (May 18), showing up to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs with Hailey Bieber at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.

Sitting right behind the player’s bench, the famous couple cuddled up while cheering on the Canadian hockey team as they faced off against the Florida Panthers. On Instagram, the “Baby” singer also shared a slew of toothy-grinned selfies he snapped inside, sneakily capturing right winger Mitchell Marner behind him.

“I’m a slut for these boys,” Justin wrote.

Despite his and the Rhode founder’s moral support, the Leafs did end up losing 1-6 to their opponents. But that didn’t stop the pop star from feeling positive, writing on Instagram, “I don’t remember a time in my life when I haven’t been obsessed with the leafsssss.”

“This year we made it farther than we have in so long and im happy about that,” he added, sharing several photos of himself and Hailey, holding hands and giving each other kisses. “I can be patient cuz I know this is the team to do it.”

Even so, the Panthers couldn’t help but troll Justin a little bit after their big victory. On Instagram, the team shared an edited screenshot of one of the musician’s posts about the Leafs to look instead like he was praising Florida’s Brad Marchand. “[Brad Marchand] Gets It Done,” it reads on the Panthers’ Instagram.

Justin wasn’t the only star rooting for the Leafs on Sunday. Drake — who, like the Biebs, is a Toronto native — placed a bet of $1.25 million on a home-team win, and when that didn’t pan out, the “God’s Plan” rapper joked on his Story, “Bieber curse.”

One celebrity who is happy that the Panthers are advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals, however, is Ariana Grande. The pop star is a lifelong fan of the hockey team and, following Sunday’s win, shared a throwback photo of herself as a child, posing next to the Panthers mascot, and wrote on her Story “go cats!!!!!!!”

The Biebers’ date night at the playoffs comes a week after Justin threw Hailey — with whom he welcomed a son, Jack Blues, in August — a lavish Mother’s Day celebration, complete with a poolside dinner and Mariachi band. A few days later, the “Peaches” artist spoke out about Diddy for the first time since the Bad Boy Records founder’s federal trial began on May 5. Diddy, who faces life in prison on accusations of sex trafficking and racketeering (all of which the mogul has denied), used to have a friendship with Justin that began when the latter was a teenager.

“Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him,” a spokesperson for the “Love Yourself” singer told People last week. “Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”
