O N Jan. 27, Justin and Hailey Bieber were spotted leaving Funke restaurant in L.A. following a quiet dinner date. They were photographed holding hands, but the expressions on their faces were far from happy. Days later, Justin posted photos on Instagram that appeared to be from the same night; in them, he and Hailey are smiling and kissing. (“We’re cute,” Hailey herself wrote in the comments.) Fans were quick to allege that Justin put up the pictures in response to recent rumors that the couple of five years are ready to call it quits.
They may be onto something. A source tells Star, Hailey, 27, has reached her breaking point with the 29-year-old “Stay” singer. “Justin is clingy and he relies on her so much for his emotional and psychological wellbeing,” reveals the source. “There are times Hailey just wants to end it so she can be on her own again.” Between fighting over old loves and past bad behavior and quibbling over when to have kids, adds the source, “they’ve had a lot of ups and downs. Friends are surprised they’ve lasted this long.”
NEVER EASY
The two wed in September 2018 after a whirlwind three-month romance. (They had also briefly dated in late 2015.) Hailey admitted they were both “insanely young” and has since been open about the challenges they’ve faced. “Marriage is very hard,” she told Vogue a few months after they said “I do” at a NYC courthouse. “That is the sentence you should lead with. It’s really effing hard.” In 2022, she told Harper’s Bazaar their union takes “a lot of work to make it work.”
