Persistent speculation about the state of Justin and Hailey Bieber’s marriage has been swirling since December.

The buzz intensified after pop culture podcaster Sloan Hooks weighed in on their relationship, pointing to their Instagram activity as possible evidence of tension. “I just received a tip about Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey, and it doesn’t look like things are going too well,” Hooks claimed in a video.

He also pointed out that the couple appeared to spend the holidays apart. Hailey was spotted vacationing in Anguilla alongside Lori Harvey and Justine Skye, while Justin was noticeably absent from the trip.

Despite ongoing speculation about his relationship with Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber is reportedly in a great place.

According to an insider, the 30-year-old singer is brushing off the rumors and focusing on himself.

“Justin is a happy camper right now,” the source told Us Weekly, adding that “he’s happier than he’s been in a long time.” The insider also emphasized that “there’s no breakdown” and that Bieber “just really doesn’t care what people think.”

In recent weeks, the pop star has made headlines for his frequent spa visits, often leaving in minimal clothing, which has sparked conversation online. However, the source insists there’s no hidden message behind his actions.

“He knows he looks strange leaving spas shirtless, but it’s just him,” the insider explained. “And after the rumors he’s doing it out of spite now, he’s just being himself and won’t create a squeaky clean image just because the public wants him to.”

Justin’s relaxed attitude comes just a month after social media speculation surrounding his Instagram activity. In January, fans noticed that he had allegedly unfollowed Hailey while she continued to follow him. The apparent move quickly went viral, leading Justin to set the record straight on his Instagram Stories.

“Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,” he wrote at the time. “Sh-t is getting suss out here.”

Shortly after, Justin posted a selfie on his Instagram Stories set to Kendrick Lamar’s “B-tch, Don’t Kill My Vibe,” followed by snapshots from a winter getaway with Hailey. She also shared a photo carousel featuring the couple, subtly shutting down breakup speculation.

It also comes days after the 30-year-old singer was spotted in New York City on Saturday, dressed in a blue robe, beanie, and Ugg boots, with his hands tucked into his pockets as he went about his day. His disheveled appearance has become a recurring topic among fans, adding to growing worries about his well-being.

A source told the Daily Mail that some of Hailey’s close friends have allegedly advised her to “leave” due to Justin’s behavior. While neither Justin nor Hailey has publicly addressed these claims, their separate outings and Justin’s increasingly unkempt public appearances have only fueled speculation that their marriage may be on shaky ground.

This latest drama comes after Justin and Hailey made a rare public appearance with their five-month-old son, Jack, on Friday evening, seemingly attempting to project a united front amid ongoing speculation about their marriage.

The couple was seen navigating the rainy streets of New York City, with Hailey pushing Jack in a stroller while Justin walked slightly apart, further fueling fan discussions about potential tension. The 30-year-old singer and his 28-year-old model wife both appeared serious and unsmiling, adding to speculation that all may not be well between them.

Justin, who has recently drawn concern from fans over his unkempt appearance, looked particularly somber, sporting a scruffy beard and a noticeably disheveled look. Meanwhile, Hailey maintained her signature polished style, exuding elegance despite the stormy weather as she pushed their baby’s $600 Doona stroller.

Justin and Hailey’s relationship has seen its fair share of ups and downs. The pair first began dating in 2015, only to split the following year. After rekindling their romance in 2018, things moved quickly.

They got engaged just months later and officially wed in a New York City courthouse in September 2018. A year later, they celebrated their love with a second wedding, surrounded by friends and family.
