In a revealing turn of events, sources close to Hailey Bieber have disclosed to In Touch that she is seriously considering the idea of a trial separation from her husband, Justin Bieber. The move comes as a response to the ongoing pressures and intense public scrutiny the couple faces, particularly on social media platforms.
The situation was exacerbated when Stephen Baldwin, Hailey’s father, made a public plea for prayers for his daughter and her 30-year-old husband, sparking widespread speculation about the state of their marriage. In an attempt to quell the rumors, Hailey took to Instagram, dismissing the circulating gossip and blind items, especially those proliferating on TikTok, as entirely baseless and the products of pure fabrication.
Despite her efforts to set the record straight, Hailey soon found herself at the center of further controversy, this time involving unfounded allegations of an affair with a billionaire, which she strongly denied, labeling them as complete falsehoods.
The couple has faced a series of health challenges in recent times, adding strain to their relationship. Hailey suffered a ministroke, and Justin was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which led to the cancellation of several tour dates and necessitated a period of convalescence at home. These personal trials have led Hailey to express a desire for some independence, with the insider noting, “Hailey just wants to live by herself for a while.”
Despite these hurdles, Hailey’s commitment to her marriage remains unwavering. She had previously opened up about the couple’s initial marital difficulties in 2021, recounting a moment of vulnerability with her mother where she voiced her uncertainties about the relationship. However, she continues to stand by Justin, with the insider emphasizing that Hailey is not looking to end the marriage. “She’s not ready to throw in the towel just yet,” they stated.
The source further clarified that Hailey’s contemplation of a trial separation does not equate to a desire for divorce. It appears that while Justin might be feeling hurt and bewildered by the turn of events, Hailey is also grappling with her own feelings of confusion and loss. The consideration of a temporary separation seems to be a bid for some much-needed personal space and time to reflect, with the insider summarizing, “Hailey’s not asking for a divorce. She knows Justin feels hurt and confused, but she feels lost too. She just needs a break.”
