Justin Bieber’s recent appearance in New York City has sparked renewed concerns about his well-being, as the 30-year-old singer was spotted looking noticeably disheveled near Union Square.
The “Sorry” hitmaker, who recently became a father, was seen wearing a checked shirt and dark trousers, paired with a yellow hoodie and gray wrap hat, maintaining a focused gaze ahead while biting his bottom lip during his solo outing.
This public appearance comes amid circulating rumors about potential marriage troubles with his wife, Hailey Bieber. A source close to the situation revealed, “Some of Hailey’s friends have advised her to leave him. His behavior is sometimes unacceptable. She’s put up with a lot.”
The couple, who welcomed their son Jack Blues Bieber in August 2024, has faced ongoing speculation about their relationship status. In late December, Justin raised eyebrows with a cryptic social media post stating “Co-parenting is failing . . . like tf,” a term typically associated with separated couples sharing child-raising responsibilities.
Recent reports suggest that the Biebers, who reside in a secluded Beverly Hills mansion, sometimes go days without speaking to each other. Another source noted, “Hailey’s been struggling with Justin almost since the start of the marriage. She loves him madly but he’s a loose cannon.”
Adding to the speculation, Justin recently unfollowed his wife on social media before quickly following her again, claiming his account had been hacked. He addressed the situation on Instagram, writing: “SOMEONE WENT ON MY ACCOUNT AND UNFOLLOWED MY WIFE. S**T IS GETTING SUSS OUT HERE.”
The singer has been open about his mental health challenges throughout his career. Sources indicate he “has been facing some difficulties lately” and “hasn’t been feeling like his usual self.”
Hailey and Justin Bieber first crossed paths in 2009 at the TODAY show, where Hailey’s father, Stephen Baldwin, introduced them. At the time, Hailey was a young teen, while Justin was a bit older.
Over the years, their connection deepened, and they eventually developed a close bond. In 2018, they had a courthouse wedding, followed by a larger celebration in September 2019.
Their journey has included a brief separation in 2018 when Justin reconciled with former girlfriend Selena Gomez, before reuniting with Hailey for good.
In March 2022, Hailey was taken to the hospital after experiencing a small blood clot in her brain.
“I immediately thought I was having a stroke,” she shared in a YouTube video on her channel, describing it as “the scariest moment of my life.”
She revealed that doctors diagnosed her with a grade 5 PFO, a condition where a hole in the heart that typically closes after birth does not close naturally. According to pennmedicine.org, this type of hole is referred to as a PFO when it remains open.
To address the issue, Hailey underwent a PFO closure procedure. After the procedure, she shared that her health greatly improved.
During a May 2022 appearance on *The Ebro Show,* Justin opened up about his marriage to Hailey. Reflecting on his early experiences as a newlywed, he shared that he had faced an emotional breakdown, realizing that marriage didn’t resolve all his problems as he had initially expected.
He explained that this realization forced him to confront aspects of his behavior, describing how it felt hypocritical to expect certain things from his wife that he wasn’t doing himself. Justin acknowledged that facing those truths and looking inward can be challenging, admitting it required him to come to terms with not being the person he had thought he was. He attributed these struggles to past trauma and life circumstances.
In June 2022, Bieber announced that he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. The condition, as described by the Mayo Clinic, occurs when a shingles outbreak impacts the facial nerve near one ear. Possible symptoms include a shingles rash, facial paralysis, and hearing loss in the affected ear.
In a video posted on Instagram, Justin explained the visible effects of the syndrome, demonstrating limited movement on one side of his face. He pointed out that his eye on the affected side was unable to blink, he couldn’t smile on that side, and his nostril was immobile, indicating full facial paralysis on one side.
A few days after sharing the news, Justin updated his followers, stating that his condition was improving. He expressed finding solace in his faith.
Despite the ongoing speculation, some sources paint a different picture. According to Page Six, the couple “laugh at the constant divorce rumors,” with Hailey reportedly “more in love with him than ever” since Justin became a father.
