• Hailey Bieber thanked her husband Justin Bieber for “supporting this dream of mine” in her speech at The Daily Front Row’s 9th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards
• The model was presented with the Beauty Innovator award by hairstylist Jen Atkin
• The speech comes amid ongoing speculation about the state of the couple’s marriage and Justin’s mental health

Hailey Bieber is showing some love for her husband Justin Bieber.

At The Daily Front Row’s 9th Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards on Thursday, April 24, the model, 28, shouted out her husband while accepting the Beauty Innovator Award for her brand, Rhode.

Hailey closed out her acceptance speech saying, “I want to thank my husband for supporting this dream of mine from the beginning and for always cheering me on. Thank you.”

The mom of one also thanked the brand’s founding partner, Lauren Ratner and hairstylist Jen Atkin (who presented her with the award) as well as her friends “for being the best test subjects and biggest cheerleaders.”

Hailey founded Rhode in 2022 and the beauty brand quickly became a viral sensation thanks to products like the Peptide Glazing Fluid and the Peptide Lip Treatment.

“I didn’t want to start a brand for the sake of starting a brand,” Hailey shared in her speech. “I really wanted to create an entire world. And something that I say often is, ‘Welcome to the world of Rhode,’ because to me, Rhode isn’t just products. It’s a feeling, it’s a lifestyle, it’s a place, it’s a world that’s open to everyone and anybody that identifies with it.”

At the event, the model wore a textured blue midi dress with a strapless neckline and a high slit.

Hailey’s sweet words for Justin, 31, come amid rumors about the state of their marriage and the state of Justin’s mental health. After the couple’s multiple Coachella outings and a number of vulnerable social media posts from Justin have sparked concern, a source close to Justin and Hailey told PEOPLE that the pair are tuning out the noise.

“Justin is having fun, vibing out and yes, he smokes weed like everyone else. But everything he does is being weaponized against him,” the source said.

The insider added, “Hailey is not on the verge of wanting a divorce or leaving him. It’s just completely untrue. If anything she’s sad about how hard everyone is being on him now that he finally is coming back out of his shell.”

A second source shared that while Hailey is “genuinely scared something bad is going to happen to Justin,” she’s committed to her husband and focused on raising their 7-month-old son Jack Blues.

“Hailey’s very loyal to him. She’s not walking away, but she knows something has to change,” the second source said. “Her focus is raising Jack in a stable environment. She’s drawn a line around what she’s willing to tolerate. She means the world to Justin. They have quietly weathered more than most couples ever do.”

Justin recently gave fans a glimpse into his life when he turned the camera on multiple photographers who were waiting to snap a picture of him. In a video shared to Instagram on Thursday, April 24, the musician exited a gate on his way to a waiting car, taking a video of the paparazzi. From behind the camera, he repeatedly says, “Look at these guys, man!” as the photographers’ cameras flash.

“Guys, can you back up please?” one person said in the clip, before a photographer seemed to question, “You’re filming me?” 

“This has to stop,” Justin wrote in the post’s caption.
