Through any ups and downs Justin Bieber may experience, he can count on wife Hailey Bieber for encouragement.
“Hailey is trying to be as supportive as possible,” a source exclusively shared with Us Weekly. “It can be hard for Hailey, but she’s always there for him and is understanding.”
In recent weeks, some fans have expressed concern for the singer’s well-being. The chatter resulted in Justin’s rep issuing a statement on Sunday, February 23, slamming any rumors that the Grammy winner could be using drugs.
The rep claimed the chatter about Justin’s mental health “shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”

In a statement to TMZ, Justin’s rep added the past year has been “very transformative” for the singer, who “ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.”
An insider told Us that Justin, 30, is less focused on the online chatter and more interested in being the best father to his 6-month-old son, Jack.
“He is a really great dad to Jack,” the source shared with Us, “and is very protective over him.”
Us has reached out to Justin and Hailey’s reps for comment.
Before Justin celebrates his 31st birthday on March 1, another source previously told Us that the singer is enjoying this chapter of his life as a parent and “happier than he’s been in a long time.”
The insider added that “there’s no breakdown” and Justin “just really doesn’t care what people think.”
Justin initially sparked concern in January when loyal fans noticed he was no longer following his wife on Instagram. After the alleged social media activity made headlines, Justin set the record straight via his Instagram Story. “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,” he claimed. “S— is getting suss out here.”

In the weeks since, Justin has been spotted out and about in sweats and was even spotted leaving a spa shirtless.
“He knows he looks strange leaving spas shirtless, but it’s just him,” an insider previously told Us. “And after the rumors he’s doing it out of spite now, he’s just being himself and won’t create a squeaky clean image just because the public wants him to.”
Over the weekend, however, Justin appeared in good spirits as he played in the Skate For LA Strong game at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena. The celebrity-filled hockey game served as a fundraising effort to benefit the LA Fire Relief Fund.
