Justin Bieber has once again raised concerns among fans after being spotted in New York City looking visibly fatigued for the second consecutive day, amid increasing rumors of marital strain with his wife, Hailey Bieber.
The 30-year-old pop star was dressed in his signature disheveled-chic style, wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt and a pink beanie worn inside-out.
Although accompanied by a friend, Justin’s downcast expression and gaunt appearance seemed to reflect the ongoing speculation regarding his reported ‘unacceptable’ behavior, which is said to have contributed to tensions within his six-year marriage to Hailey.
Just hours prior, the couple had already sparked further speculation when they were spotted separately at the popular venue Bar Pitti.
Hailey was seen leaving the restaurant alone around 4:30 PM, while Justin, without his wife, arrived with a group of friends just half an hour later and was later seen departing solo at 6:40 PM.
Sources close to the couple have since informed Newsafro.com that Justin’s weary appearance may be attributed to his tendency to become ‘borderline reclusive,’ as he struggles with the pressures of large crowds and constant media attention after years in the public eye.
“Justin has been struggling for the past couple of years, and a significant part of that is due to his anxiety about being in certain public situations,” a source revealed.
“He has developed a deep fear of being in spaces with large crowds and worries intensely about being around strangers. This fear is one of the reasons he hasn’t toured in a while.”
“To heal, Justin has focused on limiting his outings and staying close to home, which has, at times, made him borderline reclusive.”
His struggles have taken a toll on Hailey, who has been tirelessly encouraging him to confront his fears. According to the insider, their recent trip to Aspen was her effort to help ease him back into public life.
This comes just days after the couple, who share son Jack Blues Bieber, appeared to present a united front while enjoying a date night together.
However, sources tell Newsafro.com that Hailey’s friends are growing increasingly concerned about Justin’s “unacceptable behavior,” with some reportedly advising her to leave the musician.
“Hailey has been struggling with Justin almost since the start of the marriage,” an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively last week.
“She loves him deeply, but he’s unpredictable. Some of her friends have suggested she leave him and go it alone,” the source added.#newsafro_
