A source told the Daily Mail that people close to Hailey are now concerned that Justin might rely too heavily on her after the sale.
“Friends of Hailey are concerned that she has been so ride or die with Justin that she might get enveloped into bailing him out of financial struggles,” the insider revealed.
“She is happy to help Justin in any way she can, but friends want her to look out for herself and Jack. They don't want to see Justin take advantage of her kindness,” the source added.
Hailey, 28, officially announced the sale of Rhode on Wednesday, marking a huge milestone just three years after launching the skincare and makeup line.
The brand has since grown to include more products.

His tour, originally set to begin in 2020, was delayed multiple times and eventually canceled in 2023 due to his Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis.
The insider claimed Justin may be less motivated to return to the stage now.
“Hailey would love to see more of his creativity and see him tour and continue to bring out music, one reasons she fell in love with him,” the source told the outlet.
“But now he has more time to rest on his laurels, and Hailey's friends are scared that eventually she won't be able to take it anymore and [it will] end up being the catalyst of a future breakup,” they added.
Justin Bieber allegedly stopped repaying Scooter Braun’s company after one installment
Reports also suggest that Justin may owe $8.8 million to his former manager Scooter Braun.
After canceling his tour, Braun's company Hybe America allegedly covered $24 million in owed payments to promoter AEG, according to TMZ.
Justin reportedly agreed to repay the amount over ten years but stopped after one installment.
Justin's team has pushed back on the figure, claiming Braun was “way overpaying commissions,” while a report from auditing firm PwC concluded Justin owes Braun’s company approximately $8,806,000.
TMZ stated that Justin’s team also conducted an audit, but its findings weren’t disclosed.
The controversy has led to public speculation about Justin’s financial stability.
A representative called the “broke” claims “clickbait stupidity,” arguing they stem from “unreliable sources who are, disappointed that they no longer work with Justin.”
While the $200 million sale of Justin’s music catalog two years ago was believed to have given him long-term financial stability, he hasn’t resumed touring.
He made a recent appearance onstage with SZA during the Grand National Tour in Los Angeles and has shifted focus to a new fashion venture, SKYLRK, after leaving Drew House.
