Justin Bieber has once again fueled speculation about trouble in his marriage to Hailey Bieber after stepping out alone in New York City looking visibly exhausted. The 30-year-old singer, dressed in his signature casual style with an inside-out pink beanie, appeared downcast as he navigated the streets without his wife by his side.
Solo outings fuel speculation
Just hours before, Justin and Hailey were spotted separately at the trendy Bar Pitti. Hailey left the restaurant alone around 4:30 PM, while Justin arrived 30 minutes later with friends, only to leave solo at 6:40 PM. This latest appearance has reignited whispers of tension in their six-year marriage, with sources revealing that Justin’s withdrawal from public life has been a growing concern.
An insider told DailyMail.com that Bieber has become “borderline reclusive”, struggling with the pressures of public outings and large crowds.
“Justin has been struggling for the last couple of years, and a significant part of that is his fear of being in certain public situations,” the source revealed. “He’s built up a deep-seated anxiety about crowds, which is why he hasn’t toured in a while.”
Hailey’s frustration grows
Hailey has reportedly been trying to help Justin reintegrate into public life, with their recent Aspen getaway intended as a step toward that goal. But sources close to the couple claim Hailey’s friends are worried about Justin’s behavior, with some allegedly urging her to consider leaving the marriage.
“Hailey’s been struggling with Justin almost from the start,” an insider claimed. “She loves him, but he’s a loose cannon. Some of her friends have told her to walk away.”
Fatherhood hasn’t changed things
The couple welcomed their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024, and Hailey initially hoped fatherhood would bring stability to Justin’s life. However, sources say his behavior hasn’t “stuck”, leaving Hailey feeling increasingly frustrated.
“He was there for her when Jack was born, but the changes didn’t last,” an insider explained.
Social media drama adds to mystery
Speculation intensified last week when Justin unfollowed Hailey on Instagram, sparking breakup rumors. He later claimed his account was hacked and attempted to shut down the speculation by posting loved-up photos from their Aspen trip.
Adding to the confusion, Justin also unfollowed his father-in-law, Stephen Baldwin, and posted a cryptic photo of a bong, leaving fans questioning his state of mind.
Meanwhile, his recent social media purge—unfollowing Usher, Scooter Braun, and his wedding best man, Ryan Good—has only added to the mystery surrounding his mental state and marriage.
What’s next for the Biebers?
Despite their public outings and shared posts, Hailey’s inner circle is reportedly concerned about her well-being, and some believe she may need to make a difficult decision about her future with Justin.
For now, the couple continues to navigate life under intense scrutiny, leaving fans wondering whether their marriage can survive the strain.
