Jaden Smith and Justin Bieber’s friendship is not just another Hollywood bromance—it is a full-blown, decade-long ride of music, viral moments, and unshakable loyalty. It all started way back in the 'Never Say Never' times, when a then-fresh-faced Jaden Smith dropped a verse with Bieber, who was at the peak of his teen heartthrob reign. Years later, they were still, and are still, hyping each other up like it is day one. In an industry where friendships fade faster than a one-hit wonder, how did these two continue to keep theirs strong?  

From Jaden Smith and Justin Bieber playfully flirting on Instagram to Bieber showing up for his friend, their bond has been anything but dull. They have thrived in fame, chaos, and the ever-watchful internet. And with these two, you never know what is coming next!

Back in 2010, Justin Bieber was the tween heartthrob of the day, and Jaden Smith had just kicked his way into Hollywood with The Karate Kid. Then came 'Never Say Never', the track that turned their bromance into a legendary collaboration. Bieber’s signature swoop-haired vocals blended perfectly with Jaden Smith’s confident rap, making the track an instant hit. 

'Never Say Never' was not just a song—it became an anthem for every kid who dreamed big, even shooting uto No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and going 5x platinum. And when Jaden Smith joined Bieber on stage during his My World tour, the crowd went wild! It was like watching two childhood best friends take over the world, one performance at a time. 

Time moved on, and so did their careers. Bieber went from teen idol to global pop sensation, while Jaden Smith stepped out of his father’s shadow and carved his own path in music and fashion. But the duo was not done yet. Years later, when Jaden Smith dropped 'CTV3: Cool Tape Vol. 3'  in 2020, he brought Bieber back into the mix for 'Falling for You', a song that was like a time capsule of young love, a completely different vibe. 

Gone was the high-energy drive, replaced with dreamy, lovesick lyrics. The track felt nostalgic, like looking back at young love through a hazy filter. Through the years, their bromance stayed rock solid, even as Bieber and Jaden Smith navigated their personal dating lives.

Just when fans thought they were done, Coachella 2024 happened, a moment that felt like a full-circle celebration of their long-running friendship. No matter where their careers take them, whenever Bieber and Jaden Smith hit the stage together, it is always something special.

He quickly chimed in with a cheeky comment that said, “Thought I was your boyfriend?”—sparking a sweet back-and-forth that left fans adoring their dynamic even more.  

Fast forward to Coachella 2024, and Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber stole the spotlight effortlessly. While rumors had been swirling about tension in his marriage, a source told PEOPLE that there was “no truth” to any divorce speculation, confirming that Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber are “very, very happy.”  Just as fans were soaking in the couple’s loved-up energy, Jaden Smith swooped in and made the moment even sweeter.

In a viral TikTok video, Jaden Smith sneaked up behind Bieber, wrapping him in a huge hug. The second Bieber realized who it was, his face lit up before he pulled Jaden Smith in for a proper hug, complete with a friendly kiss on the cheek. But Bieber was not done making headlines just yet. Just when it seemed like the weekend could not get more nostalgic, he took a moment to pay tribute to Jaden Smith, that had the internet swooning in minutes!

Justin Bieber did not just wish Jaden Smith a happy birthday—he turned it into a full-on love letter! Taking to social media, Bieber shared a sweet tribute that left fans feeling all the feels. “If you know Jaden, you know what I’m talking about,” Bieber began, hyping up his best friend like only a true ride-or-die would. 

He praised Jaden Smith’s ability to make people feel special, his unshakable confidence, and his passion for changing the world. “If he thinks I'm special, who cares what anyone else thinks?” Bieber added, making it clear that their friendship stemmed from pure admiration. Fans were instantly obsessed with the message! But Justin Bieber was not done yet.

He went on to call Jaden Smith one of the most inspiring people he has ever met, praising his kindness and drive. “Knowing you is one of the greatest honors of my life,” Bieber wrote, sealing the message with love. Fans could not help but swoon in awe over the emotional words, with some joking that Justin Bieber had raised the bar for birthday messages forever. 

Through the years, these two have supported each other in music, movies, and personal milestones, proving that some friendships in Hollywood are built to last.
