Madison Beer and Justin Herbert spark buzz with album update and injury return news

Madison Beer confirms her 2026 album as Justin Herbert works toward an injury return, drawing strong public interest

Madison Beer and Justin Herbert attracted widespread attention after both shared significant career updates on December 9 2025. Beer confirmed new details about her upcoming album, while Herbert continued working toward a potential return from injury as the Los Angeles Chargers monitored his status.

Beer announced that her next album, Locket, will be released in January 2026, sharing the full tracklist and thanking supporters for following her work throughout the year. The album includes songs such as Locket Theme, Yes Baby, Angel Wings, For the Night, Bad Enough, Healthy Habit, You’re Still Everything, and Bittersweet.

It marks her first major project since Silence Between Songs in 2023. She explained that the concept emerged during a period of creative clarity and that the music reflected experiences she found meaningful.

Her personal life has also been the subject of public interest after she confirmed her relationship with Justin Herbert, following their appearance together at a Chargers game in October 2025. The pair have since been seen at events around Los Angeles, drawing continued attention from fans and entertainment outlets.

Herbert, meanwhile, remains listed as questionable for the Chargers’ upcoming Monday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He underwent surgery for a broken bone in his left hand after a Week 13 injury against the Las Vegas Raiders, finishing that match wearing a protective glove.

He has said he intends to play if medically cleared. Reports indicated he is progressing, though the team continues to assess his recovery. His status is viewed as a key factor in the AFC playoff race as the Chargers navigate the final stretch of the season.

The simultaneous updates from Beer and Herbert generated strong interest across music and sports communities, contributing to growing public visibility for the couple as they each approach significant career milestones.
