A source revealed to OK! Magazine that Justin's mental health struggles were particularly tough for Hailey to manage. "He’s a lot clingier, while she’s always been more emotionally mature and able to see things in a clearer way," the insider explained. The difficulties led to rumors of a potential split, with divorce seeming like the only option at times.

“They got married so young and weren’t emotionally equipped to deal with it,” Justin's issues affected both of them, according to the source. “It was hard. Divorce seemed to be their only way out.”

Hailey experienced her own health issues, suffering a ministroke in 2022, while Justin was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. These setbacks further delayed their plans to start a family. "Hailey didn’t want to bring a child into their world until things were more stable," the source noted.

The source also mentioned that Justin initially wanted kids from the start of their marriage, but Hailey prioritized her career. The turning point came when Justin stopped pressuring her and they both sought guidance from their pastor and therapy. 

“He stopped pushing her and making her feel guilty, and that’s when things turned around,” the source stated, noting how the pair relied on their faith during the tough time. They sought the advice of their pastor and got some much-needed therapy.”

Now, with their relationship in a good place and Hailey pregnant, the couple is thrilled. "They’re having so much fun," the confidante said. "Everything revolves around Hailey." The insider added that Justin is excited about becoming a father and is deeply involved in preparing for their baby's arrival.

On May 9, Justin and Hailey announced their pregnancy on Instagram with a video of them renewing their vows, where Hailey showcased her baby bump. According to a source, the couple knows the gender of their baby and has already chosen a name. They are also busy decorating a nursery and eagerly anticipating their baby's arrival.

"Everyone is excited for them," the confidante shared. "They will be great parents, and Justin will be super involved. This will be the next important project for him. He’s so excited to raise his baby."
