Justin Bieber and Hailey stepped out for a date night in New York City earlier this February, temporarily silencing concerns about their marriage. The couple attended a Knicks and Lakers game, and photos obtained by the Daily Mail showed them leaving a building together. While Hailey appeared happy and relaxed, Justin looked more subdued. Their outing comes amid weeks of fan speculation about the state of their relationship, fueled by sightings of Justin walking alone in the city looking unusually thin and tired.
Fans took to social media to voice their concerns, with many noting how different Justin looked. “This is not the Justin Bieber we know,” one fan tweeted. Another added, “He looks so drained. Something isn’t right.” These concerns were amplified when Justin unfollowed Hailey on Instagram earlier this year. Though he later explained it was due to hackers, the incident sparked widespread rumors.
Tabloids have published conflicting stories about the couple. Some sources claim Hailey is too focused on her career, while others suggest Justin has become increasingly reclusive. One insider revealed that Justin has been struggling with anxiety about public spaces, which has kept him away from touring. Another source claimed that Hailey’s friends have been pushing her to leave Justin, citing his unpredictable behavior.
Justin Bieber definitely is not looking like himself.
