Concerns grow as Justin Bieber looks hollow-eyed amid rumors of marital woes over 'unacceptable behavior'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Justin Bieber was spotted in New York City on Wednesday, January 29, appearing uncomfortable and hollow-eyed amid rumors of marital issues with his wife Hailey Bieber.

This sighting came just days after Justin and Hailey—who have been married for nearly six years and are parents to son Jack Blues Bieber—appeared to put on a united front when out on a date night together over the weekend.

Hailey Bieber's friends getting increasingly concerned over Justin's 'unacceptable behavior'

The 30-year-old 'Peaches' singer was wearing his trademark unkempt-chic look, including fuzzy slipper-like shoes, big cargo pants, and a bright yellow hoodie.

At one point, he wildly gripped his crotch as he was walking down a crowded sidewalk in the Big Apple.

Later, he completed his outfit with a black baseball cap as he headed to a luxury SUV parked nearby, and Hailey was spotted leaving a Union Square building by herself.

According to sources who spoke to Daily Mail, Hailey's friends have grown increasingly concerned by Justin's "unacceptable behavior," with some even calling for her to split up with the musician.

"Hailey's been struggling with Justin almost since the start of the marriage. She loves him madly but he's a loose cannon. Some of her friends have advised her to go it alone and leave him," the source said.

"His behavior is sometimes unacceptable. She's put up with a lot," they added.

According to the insider, Hailey and her loved ones hoped that Justin would change when their first child Jack was born in August 2024, but little has changed despite their support.

"When the baby was born he was there for her and she thought being a father would change him for the better, but it hasn't stuck," the insider added.

Justin Bieber and Hailey appear at comedy club amid concerns his behavior threatens their marriage

Despite rumors of marital problems, the musician and his 28-year-old model wife seemed to have had a great date night in Los Angeles on Saturday, January 25, when they headed to the Laugh Factory.

They were also joined by pop singer Tate McRae, 21, who is the face of Hailey's skincare brand Rhode's most recent product, per Daily Mail. Comedian Nicky Paris and the comedy club shared memories of their encounter on Instagram following their night out.

The venue captioned the photo, "A memorable night at the Laugh Factory featuring incredible performances and a surprise visit from @justinbieber in the audience."

The comedy club shared a series of snapped pictures of Justin standing alongside comedians Ruben Paul, Amir K, and Nicky Paris.

Justin Bieber previously debunked rumors of marital woes with wife Hailey

The 'Baby' hitmaker previously made an effort to dispel reports of marital problems with the Rhode founder after addressing unfollowing his wife on Instagram.

Hours after claiming that his social media account had been hacked, Justin went back to the app to share romantic pictures with Hailey from their vacation in Aspen, Colorado.

Fans expressed their surprise on X (formerly Twitter) after it was revealed online that Justin no longer follows Hailey's profile. Moreover, the couple was the subject of divorce rumors shortly after their sixth wedding anniversary.

Following an apparently troubling Instagram Story discussion between the pair last month, fans conjectured that they were having marital issues.

The mystery surrounding the couple's marriage grew since Justin unfollowed his father-in-law Stephen Baldwin on Instagram, which stoked rumors of relationship problems.

However, the 'Sorry' singer put an end to online rumors that his marriage to Hailey might not be going well, with a single social media ode to his wife that highlighted their continued happiness.

He posted a picture of Hailey wearing a pink bikini suit, a fur coat, and a New Year's headband on his Instagram Story on January 1, along with the description, "Goin anywhere with u bb. Happy new year," per E! News.
