Divorce rumors have ramped up in recent weeks following several troubling posts and outbursts from the Sorry singer

Fears for the couple's marriage have intensified over recent weeks after the 31-year-old singer made troubling comments, shared worrying selfies and exposed private texts in an explosive Father's Day row.
Since then, tensions have been sky high with sources from both camps sharing sordid details of the pair's marriage woes including Hailey telling Justin to "stop being a f***ing child" after posting strip club photos.
Now, as the mom-of-one publicly ditches her $500,000 wedding ring, Darren Stanton, a body language and behavioural expert has revealed what is going on under the surface.
"Hailey is making a very exerted effort to show the paparazzi that she's no longer wearing the ring," Stanton told The U.S. Sun.
Known as TV's human lie detector, Stanton examined previous footage of the model and noticed that she never normally puts her hand "in view very predominantly" and that this is unusual for her.
But, when recently out in the Big Apple, she has repeatedly been seen with her bare left hand on full display, sometimes held up to her jacket or to fix her hair but in an unnatural way.
"The gesture she makes seems odd," Stanton explained.
"Like when she's wearing the black jacket and a hand comes right across the chest.
"That's a very unusual gesture and it seems to be that she's trying to emphasise the point that she's not got the ring on."
The picture Stanton referred to was taken as Hailey stepped out with Camila Morrone and Suki Waterhouse for a girls' night at Chez Fifi on the Upper East Side.

Attending such events confidently despite ongoing marriage troubles means "she's clearly not distressed," Stanton added, but said that she is clearly frustrated with her husband.
"With Hailey we see elements of anger and frustration because the eyebrows are put together the eyes are narrowed and the lips are pierced," he explained.
"Therefore I would assert she's angry and frustrated potentially with Justin's behaviour as I know she has allegedly said she's not happy with Justin's behaviour."

'BRAVE FACE'
As his wife makes a point of going sans ring, Justin is desperately trying to cover up his hurt, Stanton said.
"With Justin, I see elements of sadness. I think he is more emotionally distressed than she is," he explained.
"He is trying to put on a brave face."
The body language expert detailed how Justin appears to be putting on a "masking smile" where people try to cover up their sadness with a fake smile.
"Trying to conceal sadness with a smile is very common some people use a fake smile to cover frustration, anxiety, and a lack of confidence in certain social settings," he said.
"With Justin, even at times when he smiles, we do not see the two main tells [of a genuine smile] which are lines at the side of the eyes called crows feet or left lines [ also known as laughter lines]."
"No matter how old someone is, if the whole face is not engaged and we don't see the three lines at the side of the eyes, then it is most probably a fake smile to conceal and inner emotion and I believe that Justin is feeling sadness."
It comes as the Sorry singer shared cryptic messages and leaked text messages about being "tired of transactional relationships".
"If I have to do something to be loved that's not love," he wrote.
An insider also previously revealed that Hailey has begged her husband to get help as his apparent mental health struggles worsen and it is reported he is in huge debt.
Discussions of Justin being placed in a conservatorship by Hailey have been raised following his increasingly concerning behavior.
A legal expert detailed to The U.S. Sun how Hailey would have to prove three points to carry out what has been called a "nuclear" option.
The couple, who married in September 2018, share a ten-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber.
