On Wednesday, Justin Bieber was seen alone on the street. He had short hair and was wearing a loose outfit. The 30-year-old singer had a tense expression on his face and sad eyes. When he saw many paparazzi, Justin quickly ran into the building.

Justin Bieber cut a tense and weary figure in New York City on Wednesday, fuelling speculation about trouble in his marriage to Hailey Bieber.

The story singer 30, stepped out in the Big Apple wearing a bright yellow hoodie, oversized cargo trousers, and fuzzy slipper-like shoes.

At one point, he was pictured grabbing his crotch as he strolled down a busy Manhattan street. Later, he was seen hopping into a waiting SUV. Meanwhile, Hailey was spotted separately, leaving a building alone in Union Square later that evening.

Their latest outing comes just days after the couple, who have been married for over six years and share their son, Jack Blues Bieber, appeared to put on a united front during a cosy date night.

After new photos of Justin Bieber were posted on Dailymail , many people commented on concerns about the singer’s mental health. Some expressed hope that Justin would get help and that his family would overcome this difficulty.

One fan wrote: “He looks 40. This young man needs help. Something is eating him up. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. He has a son to take care of.” Others shared: “Too much baggage from his past, too many wolves around when he was young. We all know and I hope he can get through it,” “My heart breaks for Justin. Hope he’s okay,” “This young man doesn’t look well. Hope he gets the help he needs.”

The source revealed that the cause of Justin Bieber’s stress is a fear of crowds, partly due to Justin’s past experiences. “Justin has been struggling for the past few years and a big part of it is his anxiety around certain public places,” the source told Dailymail , adding that this has negatively affected the singer’s relationship with his wife, model Hailey Bieber. Hailey is said to have always encouraged her husband to go out and socialize more, but Justin prefers to live separately and refuses to listen to her concerns.

Justin’s life has been strained since rapper Diddy was arrested last September. His close and complicated relationship with Diddy when the Baby singer was a minor is said to have caused Justin stress. Sources say the combination of Diddy’s case and fatherhood has left Justin feeling pressured. Justin and his wife welcomed their first son in August 2024.

Recently, Justin Bieber caused confusion when he unfollowed many close people on Instagram, including singer Usher – his former mentor when he first started his career and Diddy’s close friend. The singer also stopped following his former manager. Fans were even more worried when he also stopped following his father-in-law , actor Stephen Baldwin. In mid-January, Justin even unfollowed his wife . Not long after, he followed Hailey back, explaining that his Instagram account had just been “hacked”. To dispel rumors of marital problems, Justin posted a series of affectionate photos with his wife and praised her as the most wonderful woman.
