Reports assure all is not well in Bieberland. Justin and Hailey Bieber, who have been married for six years, are allegedly facing severe turbulence, and the rumors are getting harder to ignore. On Tuesday, Justin Bieber posted a video of himself looking bleary-eyed and rapping about getting high: "I fly high like a magpie, I go high like I'm that guy." Some fans were quick to call the post "desperate" and "sad," fueling speculation that something is off with the singer.
Now, insiders are spilling the tea, and it sounds like Justin and Hailey's marriage is under some serious strain.
According to the Daily Mail, one major source of stress for Justin is his connection to Sean "Diddy" Combs, who was arrested last year on shocking allegations and charges the rapper denies. The outlet insider claims Justin is deeply disturbed by the allegations but refuses to discuss them. "He has shut off," a person told the publication.
Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's Engagement Stung
As if things weren't messy enough, there's the never-ending shadow of Selena Gomez.
Justin and Selena dated on and off for years before he married Hailey in 2018. Now that Selena is engaged to producer Benny Blanco, Justin is reportedly having "mixed feelings."
Why? Because Benny wasn't just any producer—he was also one of Justin's closest friends. "Justin confided in Benny about his heartbreak over Selena," a source revealed. "In a way, he felt betrayed, even though he knew he had no right to feel that way."
An insider told In Touch Weekly that Justin felt "offended" when Benny cut him out of his life. "They used to be great friends, so it came as a huge shock," the source shared. The insider wrapped things up by saying, "[Justin has] tried so many times to make peace with them and get past the BS, but they just won't let it go, and he's now saying good riddance."

Meanwhile, Hailey has been dealing with her struggles since welcoming their son last August. Insiders say she's been experiencing emotional turmoil and that it's been taking a toll on their marriage.

Hailey's Friends Are Worried
According to multiple sources, some of Hailey's friends are encouraging her to walk away. "Hailey loves him madly, but he's a loose cannon, " one insider shared. "Some of her friends have advised her to go it alone and leave him."
Earlier this month, reports surfaced that Hailey was "deeply concerned" and struggling to figure out how to help Justin.
