If Hailey and Justin Bieber were ever to divorce, she might have to say goodbye to more than just the Peaches singer’s bubbly personality.
The businesswoman struck gold last week, announcing e.l.f. beauty’s $1 billion purchase of her Rhode brand. Suddenly her net worth skyrocketed. But what would happen to all that money if she and J.B. were to call it quits on their marriage? It’s a question worth asking considering how much fans have been speculating they’re in trouble, right? Well, apparently she could be out $500 million!

On Wednesday, a top Hollywood divorce lawyer spoke to Page Six about the couple’s marital agreement and whether a prenup is in play:
“It’s highly unusual for people of their stature to not have an agreement that governs their assets. But sometimes people don’t want to do it.”
When Justin and Hailey tied the knot seven years ago in 2018, HE was the big bread winner. Nepo baby Hailey wasn’t hurting financially by any means, but he was a global pop sensation. If a prenup were put in place back then, it would have been to protect Justin. But the tables have turned now…
It’s unclear if they have a secret prenup, but without one in place Justin is entitled to HALF! Even though they got legally married in New York City and had their big ceremony in South Carolina, they’ve lived in California all this time! The lawyer explained:
“Because they live in California, the state would have jurisdiction, and the law states that anything created during marriage is community property. If there is no prenup [or] postnuptial … agreement, this sounds like community property to me.”
Meaning the Baby singer could lay claim to HALF of that billion dollars. That’s Cali law. Ouch!
After Hailey announced the buyout, many fans took to social media to implore her to leave Justin as he’s rumored to be in millions of dollars of debt to former manager Scooter Braun. But after hearing this, would that even help??
Is there a secret prenup we never knew about? Or were Justin and Hailey always too romantic to touch one? Let us know what you think in the comments down below!
