Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber sink deeper into his rumored marriage woes in the wake of Selena Gomez’s engagement to Benny Blanco. The Biebers aren’t exactly alien to divorce rumors, with talks of marital struggles plaguing them throughout their six-year marriage. These rumored marriage strife reached their peak in recent months, in the wake of Justin’s former musical mentor Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest and the subsequent birth of Hailey and Justin’s first baby together, Jack Blues. Although the couple have tried occasionally to water down the rumored relationship turbulence with loved-up social media posts and PDA-filled outings, their physical dynamics in recent days send a different message, which hasn’t gone unnoticed by those around them.
Some insiders have voiced their concerns about Justin and Hailey Bieber’s relationship. Speaking to Daily Mail, one source attributed the Baby singer’s recent emotional turmoil to his entanglement in the Diddy scandal. According to the insider, Justin found the situation disturbing, and was “unwilling to process or discuss it.” As a result, Justin has reportedly shut off, icing out everyone. Sadly, his wife Hailey Bieber finds herself at the receiving end of this disturbing coping mechanism, making it difficult to navigate their marriage.
Justin Bieber Hurt By Selena Gomez’s Engagement
Aside from the Diddy scandal, another insider has pointed out that Justin Bieber’s ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, 32, is also a huge factor in his failing marriage. Justin and Selena sustained an on-again-off-again romance for years before the singer moved on with and married Hailey for good. Selena Gomez wound up finding love with Benny Blanco, who popped the big question in December.
Some sources believe Selena and Benny’s engagement has adversely affected the That Should Be Me crooner. One source claimed Justin Bieber especially found their union hurtful because he once considered Benny Blanco a close friend, and had even confided in him about his breakup with Selena Gomez years back. Hence, having the same “pal” win over the heart of his ex-lover felt like a scathing betrayal. The source divulged,
“Justin confided in Benny about his heartbreak over Selena. In a way, Justin felt betrayed over the engagement, even though he knew he had no right to feel that way.”
Expectedly, the whole ordeal takes its toll on Justin Bieber’s wife Hailey Bieber. The 28-year-old, who welcomed their baby in August, has reportedly been battling “emotional turmoil” as is typical of a new mom. While some sources claim Justin “bears the brunt” of Hailey’s post-partum struggles, which contributes to them drifting apart, others believe Justin has the bulk of the blame for their failing marriage. Hailey’s friends have reportedly noticed this upsetting behavior, encouraging her to pull the plug on their relationship as a result. One insider told the outlet,
“Hailey loves him madly but he’s a loose cannon. Some of her friends have advised her to go at it alone and leave him.”
How Justin and Hailey Bieber Navigate Rumors of Marriage Strife
Despite these claims of marriage woes, Justin and Hailey Bieber have continued to keep up appearances, save for occasional slip-ups that seem to betray their hidden relationship turbulence. Last month, things took a more troubling turn when Justin appeared to unfollow his wife on Instagram. However, the Mood crooner quickly followed her again, hopping on Instagram claiming his account had been hacked.
Then there was their trip to New York City this month, along with their 6-month-old son. Unlike the conventional loved-up couple’s getaway, the duo seemed to have more solo outings during their trip. They further raised eyebrows when they dined separately in the same restaurant, with Justin only arriving minutes after his wife left the West Village joint.
Just as the rumors of marital woes began to run wild, Justin and Hailey dispelled it with their joint appearance at the Los Angeles launch of the model’s latest Rhode pop-up. Despite his supportive presence, though, eagle-eyed fans pointed out the crooner’s worried appearance, attributing it to trouble in paradise. Until Hailey or Justin addresses the state of their marriage themselves, these prevailing rumors of marital turbulence are here to stay.
