Justin Bieber<\/b><\/a> posted not one, not two, but six photos of himself using a glass bong on March 3. Before long, fans flooded his Instagram comments with concerns. \u201cThe poor guy needs help,\u201d\u00a0 wrote one. \u201cI hope that he can see it himself, and that he opts to get better not only for himself but for his baby too.\u201d The \u201cSorry\u201d singer\u2019s status as <\/span>a new dad to son Jack, 6 months<\/span><\/a>, had others deeming the images inappropriate, as well. Though it\u2019s unclear exactly what Justin was smoking, a follower scolded: \u201cYou cannot be a present parent and be high AF. Pick one.\u201d Meanwhile, another proclaimed, \u201cYou need to grow up and start acting like a father. He\u2019s priority now, not weed.\u201d Justin, lamented an additional commenter, is \u201cclearly spiraling.\u201d<\/p>\n The backlash was brutal. Especially since just a week earlier \u2014 following months of public unease about his increasingly gaunt, tired and red-eyed appearance \u2014 a rep for Justin, 31, and wife Hailey Bieber<\/strong><\/a>, 28, told TMZ<\/em> the Grammy winner wasn\u2019t using hard drugs, branding ongoing speculation about his mental and physical health \u201cexhausting.\u201d But according to a source, fears for Justin are warranted. \u201cHis behavior\u2019s been troubling for some time. What fans are seeing now is just a small taste of what his life is really like,\u201d a source exclusively tells Life & Style.<\/em> \u201cHe goes through periods where he isolates, then periods where he\u2019s active and will spend time with friends. Justin can also have pretty intense low periods.\u201d It\u2019s rough for him, confirms the source, and also \u201ctakes a toll on Hailey.\u201d<\/p>\n Friends are worried, too \u2014 for the couple and their six-year marriage. And Hailey \u2019s been under pressure to do something. The model \u201cloves him madly but he\u2019s a loose cannon. Some of her friends have advised her to go it alone and leave him,\u201d an insider told the Daily Mail<\/em> in February. Adds Life & Style<\/em>\u2019s source: \u201cShe\u2019s at her breaking point.\u201d<\/p>\n But she won\u2019t leave Justin when he needs her most , she\u2019s previously vowed. Three years into their marriage, Hailey recounted a difficult period early on<\/a> when Justin, who\u2019s been candid about his past issues with substance abuse and depression, was struggling with his mental health. Hailey called her mom \u201ccrying,\u201d insisting, \u201cI just can\u2019t do it,\u201d she confessed on the \u201cIn Good Faith With Chelsea & Judah Smith\u201d podcast. Then, she made a decision to not give up. \u201cImagine abandoning somebody in the middle of the worst time of their life,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cI\u2019m not that type of a person. I was going to stick it out no matter what the outcome was going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n The same year, she credited their shared Christian faith<\/a> with keeping their marriage intact, explaining on an episode of \u201cIn Conversation With\u201d that it\u2019s \u201cthe most important part of our relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n The last few months have been fraught with drama. Split speculation<\/a> \u2014 fueled by a TikToker\u2019s claims the Biebers spent the holidays apart \u2014 made headlines in December 2024, weeks before Justin raised extra eyebrows by unfollowing Hailey on Instagram. He later claimed he was hacked. In February, both were in NYC, but were rarely seen together, reports pointed out. (They even dined separately, at the same restaurant, 45 minutes apart one night.) Since then, however, they\u2019ve put on a more united front.<\/p>\nHailey Bieber Is Standing By Justin Bieber Amid His Health Struggles<\/h2>\n
