Justin and Hailey Bieber’s announcement that they’re expecting their first child earlier this year shocked many fans, as it came amid months of divorce rumors. While speculation about Justin’s mental health has persisted in the aftermath, a new report says the couple are working hard at their relationship to prepare for their upcoming arrival.
The Baby Has Reportedly Helped Their Marriage
“Hailey is ecstatic and soaking up every moment of her pregnancy,” a source told Us Weekly, saying the model has almost finished designing the nursery. “It’s a lot of neutral colors and it’s a classic design with a modern touch.”
The same insider said that the pregnancy has had a positive impact on the couple’s marriage, despite accusations otherwise.
“Justin has been so affectionate and loving toward Hailey and can’t wait for the next phase in their lives,” they shared. “Their bond is stronger than ever.”
“Overall, Hailey has been feeling great,” another source added. “She hasn’t stopped working and is finishing up her latest launch before she takes time off from traveling.”
Justin’s Mental Health May Be Suffering
InstarDespite the report’s positive update, there have been other claims that Justin’s mental health is still struggling despite Hailey’s pregnancy (she’s apparently weeks away from giving birth).
“Justin has been facing some difficulties lately. He has been having a hard time and hasn’t been feeling like his usual self,” a source told Entertainment Tonight.
“Hailey has been doing her best to be there for Justin, but it is upsetting for her to see him struggle,” they continued. “They are doing their best to make things work and be supportive of each other. They are committed to doing whatever it takes to make things better.”
Justin has been candid about his ongoing battles with mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. Over the years, the pop star has shared his personal struggles, including his experiences with substance abuse.
In recent years, the pop star has also disclosed several significant health diagnoses. One of the most notable was his diagnosis with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a rare neurological disorder he revealed in June 2022. This condition caused one side of Justin’s face to become paralyzed, which he described as a severe and frightening experience.
Hailey and Justin’s relationship started in early 2016. Although they had known each other since 2009, their romance became serious in 2018. Justin proposed in the Bahamas in July 2018, despite many years of being on-and-off, and they had a private civil ceremony in New York City on September 13, 2018. The couple celebrated their marriage with a larger wedding in South Carolina on September 30, 2019.
