“Both Justin and Hailey are thriving right now. They just celebrated their wedding anniversary, he’s on top of the charts, and she’s breaking records in beauty,” the source continues.

“They are both very focused. Justin’s super grateful for his fans. He’s hyped about Coachella. Hailey will be there of course.”

In May, e.l.f. Beauty acquired Hailey’s skincare brand Rhode for $1 billion in a landmark deal. The model has since become the brand’s chief creative officer and head of innovation. And on Sept. 15, the 2026 Coachella lineup was announced. Justin, along with Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G were announced as headliners for the upcoming California festival. He will be taking the stage on the April 11 and 18 dates of the event next year.

The “Peaches” singer previously appeared at Coachella in 2019 when he made a surprise appearance during Ariana Grande‘s set to perform his 2015 song “Sorry.”

“I haven’t been on stage in like two years. I came out here I had no idea I was going to be on stage tonight,” Justin told the festival crowd at the time.

“So anyways this is my first time on stage in two years. I had to get my groove back, my swag back. By the way — album coming soon.”

“It was a big deal for Justin,” a friend of the singer’s told PEOPLE in April 2019 following the appearance. “He hasn’t performed in a long time. He was very excited though and felt even better after. He loved reconnecting with his fans.”

Less than two weeks before the Coachella lineup was announced, the “YUKON” musician released SWAG II, the follow-up to his July album SWAG.

A source told PEOPLE in July about how SWAG was a milestone for Justin, whose last studio album, Justice, was released in 2021. “This album is a huge milestone for Justin in so many ways,” the source said at the time.

“It’s the first solo album he’s released since becoming a father, and it’s the first time he’s produced sound that’s all his own. He was so excited for everyone to listen to his new music.”

“Justin felt a little nervous, but mostly excited, about putting this album out,” added the source. “He wanted it to be perfect, and he’s so happy with how it turned out. He’s really proud of this accomplishment and thrilled for the next chapter.”
