In response to Hollywire’s report about the divorce speculation, Hailey Bieber wrote in the comments, “You guys are obsessssed!!!!!!!” She included a crying laughing emoji to better illustrate her feelings about the gossip. It’s unlikely, however, that her comment will silence the doubters, as Hailey and Justin Bieber have both spoken about their marriage woes. Justin admitted that he had some unrealistic expectations about what having a wife would do for him — from the sounds of it, he thought he was also getting a therapist when he tied the knot. “When I first got married, I hit a little bit of an emotional breakdown because I thought marriage was going to fix all my problems, and it didn’t,” he said in a 2022 Apple Music 1 interview with Ebro Darden (via Billboard).
For her part, Hailey admitted that Justin’s mental health struggles had her ready to pull the plug on their marriage early on. On the “In Good Faith with Chelsea & Judah Smith” podcast, she recalled an emotional conversation she had with her mom. “I was like, ‘I just can’t do it. There’s no way that I’m going to be able to do this if it’s going to be like this forever,'” she recalled. But in February 2024, a source told Us Weekly that the couple has worked through their issues in therapy, saying, “There were growing pains in the beginning, but they’re in a good place now.”
