When pop star Justin Bieber married model Hailey Baldwin in a beautiful wedding at a luxury resort in South Carolina, his friends thought she was “The One” and would help him stay on track.
The couple exchanged Tiffany & Co wedding rings in 2018, surrounded by famous guests like Kendall and Kylie Jenner and Jaden Smith. Many of Bieber’s friends saw Hailey, then 28, as the person who could keep him grounded.
But now, six years later, their marriage seems to be struggling, and Justin is facing serious personal issues.
Justin, who became famous at 15 with his song One Time, has been acting strangely in public, worrying fans. In January, he was seen looking tired and unkempt in New York, wearing a yellow hoodie, oversized pants, and slippers. More recently, he posted a video of himself smoking what appeared to be a joint and another clip of him rapping bizarre lyrics while on a plane. Fans have expressed concern, with one saying, “He needs help!”
Hailey, who had a baby boy named Jack last year, is struggling to support Justin while also focusing on her new makeup brand, Rhode. At a recent event for her brand, Justin was seen behaving oddly, shifting from foot to foot and grinning strangely. He later posted a supportive message for Hailey, but she did not acknowledge it, and he was missing from the photos she shared from the event.
Some of Hailey’s friends are encouraging her to leave the marriage, saying Justin is unpredictable and difficult to handle. Others believe she’s overwhelmed with motherhood and no longer has the energy to care for Justin the way she once did.
There have also been rumors that the couple spent Christmas apart and, more recently, ate at the same restaurant in New York but at different times.
In the past, Justin depended heavily on Hailey for support. A music insider once recalled how Justin was anxious backstage on tour, desperately trying to reach her. Once he got her on the phone, he instantly calmed down.
