In Photos: Justin Bieber’s one-year-old son Jack dons Auston Matthews' #34 Maple Leafs jersey

Canadian pop star Justin Bieber posted a series of photos on Instagram of his son Jack Blues wearing a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey this week. Bieber is a passionate Leafs fan and occasionally attends games at the Scotiabank Arena.

On Friday, he shared a carousel of pictures of Jack, who was born in August, decked in Leafs captain Auston Matthews’ No. 34 jersey.

Bieber captioned the post:

“🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️”

The official Instagram account of the Toronto Maple Leafs reacted with three blue heart emojis in the comments section soon after.

This continues Bieber’s long-standing support for the Leafs. He has previously collaborated with the team to design their jersey.

Justin Bieber showed support for the Leafs during Game 7

During this year's playoffs, Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey Bieber were seen rinkside at Scotiabank Arena for Game 7 of the second-round series against the Florida Panthers.

The couple sat behind the Leafs bench during the elimination game, cheering for Toronto. Justin later posted a series of selfies on Instagram with Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews visible in the background.

“I’m a sl*t for these boys,” Bieber wrote in the caption.

He wore a cream-colored fuzzy hat, black sunglasses and a red and orange striped pullover while Hailey showed her support in a Maple Leafs jacket.

The Leafs lost 6-1 on the night and Florida advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals. After the game, Bieber penned an encouraging message for his favorite team.

“I don’t remember a time in my life when I haven’t been obsessed with the leafsssss. This year we made it farther than we have in so long and I’m happy about that.”

“I can be patient cuz I know this is the team to do it,” he added.

Canadian music artist Drake revealed at the time that he had placed a $1.25 million bet on the Leafs, which he lost. He later posted a story on Instagram writing, “Bieber curse” with the betting slip, which refers to a conspiracy theory among fans that teams Justin Bieber supports always lose.
