Even with global fame and endless paparazzi attention, Justin Bieber keeps his personal life remarkably private.
Away from sold-out arenas and flashing cameras, the pop superstar has carved out a world that is tightly controlled, where fans rarely get a glimpse.
Now, thanks to one person in his inner circle, we’re getting a small peek behind the curtain into Bieber’s private passions, friendships, and spiritual life.
A Celebrity Basketball Haven in Los Angeles
Each week in Los Angeles, Bieber can be found at The League, an exclusive basketball club where celebrities, creatives, and fashion insiders come together to compete and network.
The man running the court, Ron Abaekobe, plays alongside Bieber on Team Skylark, named after the singer’s fashion label, and the two have formed a close bond on and off the court.
“Justin is super spiritual, one of the most down-to-earth people I know,” Abaekobe told The Daily Mail.
“He’s a people lover and all about love. He’s so kind and present—it’s really refreshing.”
Prayer Before the Game
Bieber’s faith is a constant in his life. Before each game, he leads his team in prayer—a freestyle ritual that helps everyone focus and align their energy.
“Right before we walk out, we do a team prayer, usually led by one of the coaches or Justin himself,” Abaekobe said. “It shifts the energy for the whole group.
He freestyles the prayer, giving thanks, appreciation, and protection for everyone.
It’s universal and something everyone can relate to, whether you’re spiritual or not.”
Family Support Rings True
Bieber isn’t alone on this journey. Hailey Bieber, who shares their one-year-old son Jack Blues with him, frequently attends games and even joins the team in the locker room to celebrate wins.
“She was there supporting him last week,” Abaekobe said.
“After a big win, the energy in the locker room was unforgettable.”
Fans and Frenzy at The League
The League isn’t just a private getaway—it attracts attention
. During two games observed by The Daily Mail, Bieber’s arrival caused a stir.
Fans swarmed the gated property, cameras ready as the star stepped out of his chauffeured car.
On the court, wearing a red robe over his green Skylark jersey, he greeted everyone personally, setting a welcoming tone.
From Casual Invite to Regular Player
Bieber joined The League during its second season, after a mutual acquaintance mentioned it over dinner.
“He played every week after that for about eight weeks in a row,” Abaekobe said.
“From there, we became close off the court as well.”
Their friendship goes deep, often delving into spiritual conversations and personal reflections that few outsiders see.
Livestreaming a Peek Behind Closed Doors
While The League remains exclusive, MemeHouse Productions livestreams games, offering fans a taste of the celebrity gathering.
“It’s Soho House meets Crew League meets Drew League,” said Zylo Hefferan, MemeHouse’s head of production.
“Justin plays, people mingle, and we showcase how unique The League is.”
Bieber himself has embraced controlled streaming, sharing parts of his life on Twitch—from carving pumpkins with friends to discussing mental boundaries—giving fans a grounded look at the superstar.
Skylark Team and the Exclusive Experience
The League isn’t just basketball; it’s an immersive world where sports, fashion, and celebrity culture intersect. Guests can enjoy mocktails, virtual golf, or simply watch Bieber unwind.
Competitions feature brands like LRG, Cookies, and Soho House, with winners earning jackets, rings, and bragging rights—keeping the vibe fun and relaxed, without cash prizes to shift the atmosphere.
A More Human Side of Bieber
Through basketball, streaming, and spiritual connection, Bieber shows a side of himself rarely seen in headlines.
From team prayers to personal chats with friends like Abaekobe, he continues to prove that beneath the global fame is someone relatable, kind, and deeply thoughtful.
