"Hayley Bieber and Kendall Jenner are seen holding hands, but the dynamic appears uneven. Hayley looks towards Kendall, while Kendall looks away, suggesting a difference in emotional need.

Justin and Hailey Bieber Were 'Subtly Blocking Each Other'

A body language expert weighed in on the pair's 'uneven' dynamic.
Honigman also broke down the model and Justin Bieber's body language, noting that they were "subtly blocking each other."
She explained, "Her crossed legs are angled away from her husband, suggesting she feels sociable and friendly, and is keen to engage with people beyond her immediate partner."
"Justin is seen clapping absent-mindedly, a casual expression of his excitement. He appears comfortable and entirely at ease; unguarded in his behavior and not overthinking his movements," Honigman added.
"The couple glance away from each other, which is a subtle way to take some time out from each other," she continued. "Glancing away is the subtlest way to block someone, and they're effectively blocking one another. His raised eyebrows are a dismissive move, which says 'do what you want,' showing that he doesn't care."
The expert also observed Hailey's body language while Justin wasn't there.
"With Justin absent, Hayley appears to seek comfort, while Kendall stands tall and self-assured, seemingly unfazed without support. Hayley tugs on Kendall's hand, reminiscent of a child seeking reassurance," she detailed.
