Rumors about Justin and Hailey Bieber’s marriage have intensified since late January, when Justin appeared to temporarily “unfollow” Hailey on Instagram. He quickly claimed he had been “hacked,” but other signs of underlying tension have emerged.
Their recent trip to New York City, accompanied by their six-month-old son, Jack Blues, raised eyebrows. Justin, 30, was spotted looking gaunt in the cold and at times shirtless, reportedly due to spa treatments. In contrast, Hailey, 28, was seldom seen with him. At one point, they even dined separately at a West Village restaurant, with Justin arriving 45 minutes after Hailey had left.
On Tuesday, Justin shared a bleary-eyed video on Instagram while on a plane, rapping about getting high. Some fans described the clip as “desperate” and “sad.”
Insiders have now shared insights into the couple’s six-year marriage. They highlighted the fallout from the recent allegations against Justin’s former mentor, Sean “Diddy” Combs, who faces serious criminal charges. Justin, who was taken under Diddy’s wing as a teen, is reportedly disturbed by the news and has withdrawn emotionally.
Additionally, Justin’s feelings about his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez’s engagement to producer Benny Blanco have stirred the pot. Sources say Justin has “mixed feelings” about the engagement, as he once confided in Blanco about his heartbreak over Selena. He feels betrayed, despite knowing he has no claim to those feelings.
Hailey is also grappling with her own challenges since becoming a mother last August, leading to strain in their marriage. Sources indicate she has been dealing with emotional turmoil typical for new mothers, with Justin bearing the brunt of it.
However, other insiders attribute more blame to Justin, describing him as a “loose cannon.” Some of Hailey’s friends have even suggested she consider leaving him. Following their peculiar trip to New York, sources reported that Hailey is “deeply concerned” and unsure where to seek help.
