Justin Bieber is devastated over his wife Hailey’s ‘fragile’ mental health, following months of backlash and ‘death threats’ from fans of his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
After suffering intense scrutiny for allegedly throwing shade at the Wolves singer, 30, on Instagram, the 26-year-old model recently opened up about going through a ‘hard time’ with all the negativity online.
In the wake of his spouse’s transparency about her mental health struggles, a source told Us Weekly on Friday that ‘it breaks Justin’s heart to have seen Hailey struggling emotionally the way she has been these past few months.’
‘He loves his wife more than anything and knows she has a heart of gold,’ the insider continued.
On Wednesday, the Rhode Beauty founder, 26, shared an emotional post on Instagram in which she admitted that 2023 has been the hardest of her her adult life so far.
‘I like to make jokes about how I feel because sometimes it’s easier than admitting I’m having a hard time,’ Hailey began.
‘But truthfully since 2023 started I have had some of the saddest, hardest moments I’ve ever had in my adult life and my mind and emotions have been fragile to say the least,’ she continued.
In January, Hailey received significant backlash when she and Kendall Jenner posted a since-deleted video on TikTok lip syncing the lyric, ‘And I’m not saying she deserved it, but I’m saying God’s timing is always right.’
Fans of Justin’s ex speculated that Hailey and Kendall were throwing shade at the Only Murders in the Building star.
The Lose You To Love Me singer had to urge her fans to back off the Hailey hate as they were even posting death threats.
Hailey’s post continued: ‘ And I know so many other people feel the same way I feel, so just know you’re not alone.
‘That being said, let’s keep being there for one another. Let’s be there for loved ones and friends and family and strangers.
‘Let’s just be there for people.. let’s keep showing up for each other even when it’s hard. We’re better together,’ she concluded.

After Hailey deleted the TikTok video, she made an Instagram post saying: ‘I never comment on this type of thing, but we were just having a girls night and did a random TikTok sound for fun.’
But it didn’t end there. A clip of Hailey pretending to gag while talking about Selena’s best friend Taylor Swift surfaced and got a swift response from the Wizards of Waverly Place alum.
‘So sorry, my best friend is and continues to be one of the best in the game,’ Selena commented on Hailey’s video in February.
One month later, the Calm Down singer tried to put an end to the feud rumors.
‘Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity,’ Selena wrote on her Instagram Story. ‘This isn’t what I stand for. No one should have to experience hate or bullying. I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop.’
Shortly after posting, Hailey publicly thanked Selena for ‘speaking out,’ sharing that they had been discussing how to ‘move past this ongoing narrative’ between them once and for all.
