The couple – who tied the knot in September 2018 – looked happy as they headed out from the three-hour-long dinner.
CUTTING TIES
In November 2020, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Justin and Hailey had ended their relationship with their former close pal, Carl.
The news came after the cheating pastor’s affair had been exposed.
After shocking details of the former Hillsong leader’s infidelity came to light, the pop star and his model wife chose to “distance themselves” as the “irreparable damage” had been done.
The two were “shocked” and “furious” by Carl’s secret romance with Ranin.
Carl was “in love” with the New York beauty in a secret affair that led to his firing from the megachurch.
Ranin, a 34-year-old designer from New York City, dated the married church leader for over five months before their emotional breakup in early November 2020.
The relationship took an explosive turn after she claimed Carl’s wife, Laura, saw all of their messages – including “naughty photos” – which were connected to his work computer at the church office.

In a statement following the affair, Carl admitted he was unfaithful but assured fans he was “building back trust in his marriage.”
A source close to the Bieber’s said: “Carl’s cheating has caused irreparable damage with many people he was close with, including Justin and Hailey.
“They were both extremely shocked and disappointed when Carl’s confession came out.”
However, the insider dished that while Hailey “quickly became furious” with the pastor’s cheating, Justin was “sympathetic to the man who had helped him so much.”
The superstar couple has been friends with the Lentz family for years – with Carl and Laura even attending the Bieber’s wedding.
Laura was also fired from her job as a lead Hillsong pastor due to her husband-of-17-years affair
Justin and Hailey both chose to unfollow the pastor on social media shortly after.
HELPING HAND
The singer has credited Carl in the past with helping him overcome his own struggles with relationships and also with drug abuse.
Justin wrote a lengthy note on Instagram in early 2020 that confessed to “drug abuse” that began at age 19.
He then talked about how he “abused all of my relationships” and that his fame and fortune led to him being “resentful, disrespectful to women, and angry.”
Justin moved in with Carl for several weeks in 2014 for an “informal detox” and to become “refocused on his religious faith.”
He then credited Carl and his now-wife, whom he said helped him “turn his life around.”
