Recent reports suggest Hailey Bieber has taken on the role of family anchor while her husband, Justin, navigates a challenging period in his life. Sources close to the couple indicate the 28-year-old model has been managing both her thriving career and increased family responsibilities as they work through current difficulties together.
“Justin’s been a hard person to deal with recently because of what he’s going through,” a source told Us Weekly. “Hailey is the stable parent and the one keeping their family together. It’s been really hard on her.”
The couple, who married in 2018 and welcomed their son Jack in August 2024, appears to be facing more challenges than usual. The source described the situation as particularly stressful, especially with a 10-month-old at home requiring constant attention and care.
Another insider shared concerns about Justin’s current state with Us Weekly: “He hasn’t been down like this in quite some time, so there’s concern.” The source added that Hailey is “worried about” Justin, “especially with” their baby at home.
Dealing with Changes
Justin has been dealing with various pressures, including changes in his professional relationships and adjusting to being a parent. “His friend group has shifted, and [he’s been] navigating fatherhood and trying to put out music. [It’s all] been a lot for him,” another insider shared with Us Weekly.
The Grammy winner parted ways with longtime manager Scooter Braun in 2023, and The Hollywood Reporter claimed in April that he’s estranged from his former friend and Drew House partner Ryan Good, who served as best man at his wedding to Hailey. An insider told Us Weekly in May that “no one is really managing Justin’s day-to-day or career… He’s really on his own.”
Justin’s recent social media activity has also raised eyebrows among fans and observers. His Father’s Day posts in June included nearly 20 updates with varying tones, from threatening messages to celebratory content. He shared screenshots of text exchanges with former friends and made cryptic posts about relationships, including one about getting “the silent treatment.”
The singer has been open about his mental health struggles in the past. In a 2019 Vogue interview, he revealed getting “really depressed” during his 2016 Purpose Tour and turning to drugs like Xanax to cope. “Drugs put a screen between me and what I was doing,” he admitted. “It got pretty dark.”
During this period, Hailey has experienced significant professional success. She landed her first Vogue cover in May and reportedly sold her beauty brand, Rhode, for $1 billion. However, sources indicate that “family issues have clouded her success” as she balances her achievements with supporting her husband.
Staying Together
Despite the current difficulties, sources emphasize that both Hailey and Justin remain committed to their marriage. “Things have been very tense in the last month,” a source told Us. The couple’s strong Christian faith appears to be a foundation for their determination to work through problems together.
“The chances of them splitting are very slim, especially because of their faith,” an insider explained to the outlet. “Faith is a big part of their life. They believe they are soulmates and meant for each other. They’ll do anything to make it work.”
Sources consistently describe Hailey as being understanding and patient during this difficult time. “He’s a loose cannon, and Hailey’s making room for that,” one insider told the publication. “They are going to get through it.”
In her recent Vogue interview, Hailey acknowledged the challenges of public scrutiny but pointed to lessons learned from Justin’s experience navigating fame since childhood. “He was like, ‘Baby, trust me, I’ve been here before many, many times. You’re not going to win. There is no winning,’” she shared. The couple renewed their vows in Hawaii last year.
