Justin Bieber is having a tough time lately — but is Hailey part of the problem??
It’s no secret their relationship has seemed strained in recent months amid constant rumors of divorce, which they have denied as recently as this week. And yet fans can’t help but be concerned about the pop star amid drug use speculation, a reported financial crisis, and shady posts at his wife’s expense. It has all seemed very worrisome — but now a source is opening up about his “dark days” and what’s causing them.

Sadly, it sounds like becoming a father to baby boy Jack Blues has been a major change that the singer has struggled to adapt to. A source close to the couple told Us Weekly on Tuesday that parenthood has been “an adjustment” for the 31-year-old — leading to both positive changes and difficulties in his life. A second insider expanded on this:
“When his son was born, everyone was hoping that would be a positive influence for him. It’s what’s made him really want to heal and reflect on everything.”
He’s certainly been doing a lot of reflecting as evidenced by his social media moves — cutting ties with collaborators from his past online and in business ventures. Most recently as he prepares to launch a new clothing line, JB has enjoyed traveling with friends while working on his new album. The first source shared the importance of this:
“Justin needed a change of pace in order to feel inspired creatively again. Justin has had dark days recently and is going through a lot of changes in his life.”
The confidant continued:
“He wants to put music out soon, but is doing it on his own terms. He needed to feel inspired, and he is really focused on putting something out soon.”
The second source noted that folks in the music industry are rooting for the One Time crooner, adding:
“He has been through so much, and people around him know how hard it is. They are protective over him in the industry and want him to do well.”
But getting back to where he once was won’t happen quickly. The insider said this new chapter of the Canadian’s life is mostly about “self-reflection and [is a] healing period.” In line with this, he’s keeping his inner circle very small and only has a few select people helping him make big decisions, the first source pointed out:
“It’s a lot at once and he’s trying to adjust to his new normal. He just wants to be himself.”
So, how does the model fit into this?? The first source insisted she’s been a much-needed lifeline for her partner:
“Hailey tries to be there for him as much as she can. She is very patient and accommodating and helps him a lot. She is the most supportive wife, and he feels grateful to have her. They have been through a lot, but have been in a good place these last few months.”
Really?? Because it has only seemed more and more rocky! The second insider doubled down, chiming in:
“Hailey is a positive, good influence on Justin. She’s been a saving grace for him.”
Hailey has expressed a similar feeling, too, telling Vogue readers not to believe the online rumors about their relationship. Previous reports, however, have claimed they “fight hard” with Justin often trying to “make Hailey feel bad” with harsh jabs, as he did with his Vogue cover story revelation. So, it seems complicated! Stepping into a new phase of life with a lot more responsibility can be really challenging for anyone. We hope he’s got the help and support he needs to get throughout this adjustment period!
