Justin Bieber is reportedly struggling with stress over his past friendship with Sean “Diddy” Combs, which is affecting his marriage to Hailey Bieber.
Combs was arrested in September 2024 on serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. Since then, people have been looking closely at Bieber’s teenage friendship with Combs, with some wondering if he was a victim.
Sources say Bieber, now 30, is very anxious about possibly being called to testify about what he saw while spending time with Combs. This stress is reportedly putting pressure on his marriage to Hailey, 27, who has been dealing with divorce rumors for a while.
Bieber met Combs as a young teen through Usher, who signed him to his music label. A resurfaced video from 2009 shows Combs and Bieber spending a weekend together, with Combs saying they were having “a 15-year-old’s dream.”
Now, with more disturbing allegations against Combs coming out, Bieber’s past connection to him has become a nightmare. Combs is in jail awaiting trial, and Bieber is said to be struggling emotionally.
Hailey, who gave birth to their son Jack Blues in August 2024, is reportedly frustrated with Bieber’s ongoing stress. Sources claim she feels like she is carrying the weight of their marriage and is thinking about divorce.
This isn’t the first time there have been breakup rumors. Hailey was said to be unhappy with Bieber’s immature behavior and messy appearance before she announced her pregnancy. Her father, Stephen Baldwin, also fueled speculation by asking people to pray for the couple.
While both Bieber and Hailey have denied marriage problems, sources say the pressure from Combs’ legal troubles is pushing them to a breaking point.
