Amidst Marriage Concerns with Hailey Bieber
This Palm Springs incident occurs amidst reports suggesting challenges in Bieber’s marriage to Hailey Bieber. Earlier in the week, sources close to the couple revealed to DailyMail.com that they are actively dedicated to resolving issues within their relationship.
An insider disclosed that Hailey is committed to providing Justin with the “consistency” he needs, emphasizing her unwavering support. “The best case scenario for them is to be together,” the source stated. “Justin needs consistency, Justin needs his ride or die and Hailey is always up for the challenge.”
The source further elaborated, “She loves Justin with such fervor that sometimes it looks like he is taking her for granted, but this recent united front is not just to slow down the rumors, they are actively working on their relationship and being happy, especially with each other is the best medicine.”
Regarding their efforts to strengthen their bond, the source added, “They’re parents now and sometimes couples don’t focus on being a couple again, that is what they are doing now as they want to make their relationship work. They want to be happy. They aren’t going to let a good thing go easy.”
United Front and Commitment
Recent public appearances together in Los Angeles are reportedly indicative of their commitment to each other. “These recent outings have been a blessing in disguise, and they look forward to continuing it together for the foreseeable future. They are putting in the work,” the source affirmed.
Fan Worry Escalates Following Livestream
Concerns regarding Bieber’s well-being have intensified in recent months, with observers noting his fatigued appearance and unsettling social media activity. His recent livestream, in particular, where he appeared gaunt, prompted many fans to voice their worries, with some labeling it as a “cry for help.”
During the livestream, Bieber shared unreleased music with his followers and was seen rapping to explicit lyrics, holding the camera close to his face. The clip quickly circulated online, amplifying concerns for the artist’s state of mind.
Comments from worried fans included:
- “Yeah there’s no denying it anymore. Poor guy needs help.”
- “It is concerning. I hope he gets professional help. That’s sad.”
- “My heart breaks for him. I pray he heals.”
Expert Opinions on Bieber’s Wellbeing
Following the livestream, mental health experts, while not directly evaluating Bieber, expressed concern based on the publicly available footage. Jonathan Alpert, a psychotherapist, noted, “From what we see in the video, Justin Bieber appears disheveled, fatigued and possibly unwell. People are naturally concerned.”
Past Social Media Activity and Speculation
Adding to fan worries, Bieber has been seen in unconventional attire and shared cryptic online content, including a meme posted after news of his former girlfriend Selena Gomez’s engagement. Furthermore, a brief period where Hailey Bieber seemingly unfollowed her husband on Instagram fueled speculation, though she later clarified it was a technical issue.
Hailey addressed the unfollowing rumors on TikTok, stating, “It’s a glitch. Didn’t unfollow him. Hope this helps!”
Counseling Suggested Amidst “Strained” Relationship
Amidst speculation about their marriage, sources revealed that friends have suggested Justin and Hailey consider couples counseling. An insider indicated that Hailey “craves for the Justin she fell in love with.”
“The way their relationship is now, they both know it could be better. It is not as bad as some are saying but it is strained. Friends have suggested counseling,” the source revealed.
The source further added that the couple is “still trying to figure it all out” after seven years of marriage, and that Justin is “leaning on his faith to make that happen for the better.”
“Justin and Hailey are very much aware that if they were to split it would likely lead to a complete tailspin for Justin that he could struggle to recover from. Hailey is his rock,” the source concluded.
Justin’s Openness About Emotional Struggles
In recent times, Bieber has publicly addressed his emotional challenges on social media. He previously shared a photo which sparked controversy and has also openly discussed his feelings.
In one Instagram post accompanying a video of a jam session, he wrote, “I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic. Then I remember we’re all being made to think we’re not enough but I still hate when I change myself to please people.”
He has also acknowledged experiencing “anger issues” in past online posts and expressed feelings of being a “fraud” and “unworthy” in Instagram stories.
Rebuttal of Drug Use Allegations
In February, Bieber’s representative addressed rumors concerning his disheveled appearance, firmly denying allegations of drug use. “The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true,” the spokesperson stated, affirming that Bieber is currently “in one of the best places in his life.”
The representative further highlighted Bieber’s commitment to “actively parenting his newborn son” and dedication to creating new music. According to the rep, Bieber has undergone a “very transformative” period, leading to changes in his personal and professional relationships, “ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.”
