Justin Bieber turns to son Jack for comfort as marriage woes with Hailey deepen
As rumors swirl around Justin and Hailey Bieber's marriage, a heartfelt post from the singer and a candid interview from the model have painted a more complex picture behind the scenes Justin Bieber is focusing on his nine-month-old son Jack Blues, sharing a touching photo on Instagram just hours after Hailey Bieber stepped out in New York without her wedding ring. In the black-and-white image, their baby reaches for Justin's ear while he gently holds his hand. Despite ongoing speculation about their relationship, Hailey liked the post - a subtle show of support. Fans filled the comments with encouragement. 'Jack is the most important person in your life,' one user wrote. Another added, 'Good dad. You are a survivor, you are brave,' while a third chimed in, 'Sending you nothing but good energy and positive vibes, bro.' The post came shortly after Justin shared a video clip to his Stories on Sunday, featuring a voiceover saying: 'B** if you're giving me the silent treatment at least tell me why! I have anxiety and I have overthinking left and right they go hand-in-hand. If you give me any room for error, there will be error!' Fans quickly assumed the message was aimed at Hailey, especially as she'd recently been spotted without her ring multiple times. A source told Entertainment Tonight that Justin has been 'irritated by Hailey,' claiming she 'can be superficial about the way their relationship looks in the public eye.' Meanwhile, Hailey is reportedly frustrated by his 'lack of motivation,' and the couple is 'not good,' though still hopeful things can improve. Despite current tension, the couple has spoken warmly of each other in recent interviews. Last month, Justin told Vogue: 'I've done a lot of dumb things in my life, but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey. I'm walking in the days I always dreamed of.' Hailey echoed his sentiment, saying Justin calls her a 'superhero' and describing motherhood as 'my biggest teacher so far. The biggest teacher in my relationship. You see your partner so differently.' Justin praised her multitasking talents, writing: '[Hailey is] in the spotlight, and has the attention because of her effortless knack for style, business, art, and fashion. And the way she makes being a mom and wife look easy.' In the same Vogue feature, Hailey opened up about the difficult birth of their son last August, which included 18 hours of labor, no epidural, and a frightening postpartum hemorrhage. 'That st was so crazy,'** she said. 'That was not fun… I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing.' She added: 'I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind… I trust my doctor with my life. But it was a little bit scary.' Hailey also addressed how postpartum life and public scrutiny have affected her: 'Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I've ever gone through… learning a new version of myself is very difficult. And doing that while seeing divorce rumors online? It's a mindfk. I cannot even begin to explain it. It's a crazy life to live.'
