Things seem to be looking up for Justin Bieber!
On Sunday, July 6, the singer shared a sweet black and white video of himself playing with his son, Jack Blues. In the post, Justin smiles and caresses his son as Jack Blues rolls around on the floor.
Though the baby’s face wasn’t visible in the social media upload, it’s clear that Justin is incredibly happy in the footage.
The post was welcomed news for fans of the singer, 31, amid reports that Justin’s recent erratic online behavior has caused “tension” in his marriage with his wife, Hailey Bieber.
After Justin posted a series of concerning videos and photos on Instagram, a source close to the couple exclusively told Us Weekly that, “Things aren’t great right now.” According to the insider, Justin’s behavior has caused “a lot of stress” for Hailey, 28.
Things were compounded by the fact that Hailey recently sold her company Rhode for $1 billion — a monumental move the couple have reportedly not properly celebrated. “Family issues have clouded her success,” the source added. A second person also told Us, “Justin’s going through a difficult time, and Hailey is giving him room to get himself back on track. He’s doing his best, but it’s tough.”
Justin’s posts have ranged from hints at alleged drug use and anger problems (in March he wrote, “I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic”) to issues with photographers, such as when he told a group, “You don’t get to disrespect me and get away with it” in June.
And though Hailey and Justin are still together, the tension has been a lot for her to bear. The first source explained, “Justin’s been a hard person to deal with recently because of what he’s going through. Hailey is the stable parent and the one keeping their family together. It’s been really hard on her.”
Her husband’s apparent downs have taken a toll on how Hailey operates. “Things have been very tense in the last month. Hailey’s worried about Justin, especially with a [baby at home]. He hasn’t been down like this in quite some time, so there’s concern,” the source added.
But both sources also affirmed that Hailey and Justin will make it through the tough times they’ve been battling, something the video he shared Sunday appears to affirm.
“Faith is a big part of their life,” the source explained. “They believe they are soulmates and meant for each other.”
