Since his comeback in 2020, Justin Bieber's mustache (open in new tab) has been the subject of bizarre controversy, with some fans begging to be reunited with their razors (my own opinion: people should do what they want with their faces): on Sunday, Bieber posted a photo of his beardless face and wrote " labeled it "baby face BIEB" and captioned it, "I shaved my beard... MUSTASHIO is on vacation, but he'll be back soon." He added the caption. Well, beard haters, it looks like your wishes have been granted, but not for long.

"Baby-faced Bieber" is a pretty accurate description of his new look. Aside from the tattoos he's collected since then, this photo could really have been taken in 2009. His wife Hailey Baldwin commented "Yay" along with a heart emoji, and his mother Patti Mallette wrote "Ya Plays God."

In a recent interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, Bieber discussed his "reckless" behavior when he was dating ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez; as reported by Entertainment Tonight (opens in new tab), "In a previous relationship I was out of control and just reckless," he said, then reflected on his current relationship with new wife Hailey Baldwin. This time around, Bieber said, "I spent a lot of time really building myself up, focusing on myself, trying to make the right decisions, that kind of thing."

"I've been working on my relationship," Bieber said.
