Justin Bieber clashes with paparazzi at breakfast date with wife Hailey in Los Angeles: 'Don't thank me'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Justin Bieber just gave the paparazzi a piece of his mind.

The 'Yummy' singer had a tense exchange with a photographer in Los Angeles after enjoying a breakfast date with wife Hailey Bieber at Beverly Glen Deli and was not in the mood for pleasantries.

As the couple made their way to their car, cameras were flashing and one photographer thanked Justin Bieber—something that really set him off.

"That's disrespectful when you thank me," Bieber told him. "Because I'm not asking you to be here, you know what I mean?"

The pap tried to smooth things over. "I'm just saying 'thank you' for everything you do for us," he responded in a video obtained by TMZ.

But Bieber wasn’t having it. "I'm just saying I don't want you to be here, so when you thank me, it's disrespectful," he repeated. "Just take your pictures and let me do my thing, okay?"

The photographer, however, doubled down on the gratitude and thanked him "for everything you do for us," but Bieber shut it down. "Don't thank me for everything," he insisted. When the pap finally said "Okay," Bieber softened a bit and responded, "I appreciate that," before hopping into his car.

While this kind of tension with the paparazzi isn’t exactly new for Justin, the couple’s increased public outings have only fueled rumors about their marriage.

Justin and Hailey Bieber's marriage rumored to have hit rough patch

Justin and Hailey Bieber, who have been married for six years, have been stepping out together more lately—but that hasn’t stopped the chatter about their relationship hitting a rough patch.

Justin’s latest cryptic Instagram Story only offered more fodder for the tabloids. The Grammy-winning artist—who shares six-month-old son Jack with Hailey—posted a message that read, "It's time to grow up! Changing is about letting go."

He continued, "I've never been good at following the rules. I tried to follow the rules. I'm not good at it."

"But U don't need the rules to enter into a life full of love." He wrapped it up with, "God always grants us love! It's one of his promises," he further wrote.

Fans are now dissecting every word, wondering if this was just another moment of reflection or if it’s a sign that something’s off in his personal life. 

If the latest reports are to be believed, there’s more happening behind closed doors than mysterious Instagram posts. Sources claimed that Hailey is deeply concerned about Justin’s overall well-being, with one telling the Daily Mail that the singer has been struggling with his mood, work, and even diet.

“He’s not working out like he used to, he doesn’t seem to eat like he once did, and people can see he has lost weight,” an insider revealed. “It’s like he doesn’t care about his well-being anymore. He’s moodier too. People are worried that he’s lost any motivation, even for his music.”

“He goes to start recording but then he cancels sessions because ‘he isn’t in the mood.’ It’s like he is struggling to focus on his own songwriting,” the source added.

According to insiders, Hailey Bieber is at a loss. The source claimed she’s tried to help her husband, but he won’t listen.

"Hailey is deeply concerned for Justin," they shared. "He won’t listen to her when she tries to help. Hailey struggles with where to turn. It’s not as if she can ask his family for help—or hers for that matter. They’ve both experienced estrangement from them."
