Justin Bieber sparked fresh concern on Saturday as he was seen in New York City looking fatigued for the third time this week, fueling rumors of tension in his marriage to wife Hailey Bieber.
The 30-year-old pop star was dressed in his usual disheveled-chic fashion, donning a yellow jacket over a plaid shirt, paired with a grey beanie.
He completed the look with black pants and fuzzy slipper-like shoes, navigating the bustling streets of Manhattan without Hailey by his side.
His downcast expression seemed to reflect the growing speculation surrounding his reportedly ‘unacceptable’ behavior, which has allegedly put a strain on their six-year marriage.
Earlier in the week, on Thursday, the couple had already set tongues wagging when they were seen separately at the popular restaurant Bar Pitti.
Hailey was spotted leaving alone around 4:30 PM, while Justin arrived with a group of friends just half an hour later, before exiting solo at 6:40 PM.

Sources close to the couple have since revealed to DailyMail.com that Justin’s weary look may be the result of him becoming ‘borderline reclusive,’ struggling with the pressures of large crowds and the constant spotlight after years in the public eye.
‘Justin has been struggling for the last couple of years and a significant part of that is down to his worry about being in certain public situations,’ the source said.
‘He has built up a deep fear of being out in spaces with lots of people and has a deep-seated worry about large crowds.That is one of the reasons why he’s not done any touring for a while.’
‘Justin focused on trying to heal and get better by staying away from too many outings away from his homes where he would have to mix with strangers – and that in turn has made him borderline reclusive at times.’
His fears have taken a toll on Hailey who has been desperately trying to encourage him to overcome his concerns, with the insider claiming their recent trip to Aspen was her attempt to help ease him into public life.
This report comes just days after the couple – who share son Jack Blues Bieber – appeared to present a united front, enjoying a date night together over the weekend.
However, sources tell DailyMail.com that Hailey’s friends are growing increasingly concerned about Justin’s ‘unacceptable behavior,’ with some reportedly urging her to leave the musician.
‘Hailey’s been struggling with Justin almost since the start of the marriage,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively last week.

‘She loves him madly but he’s a loose cannon. Some of her friends have advised her to go it alone and leave him,’ the source shared.
‘His behavior is sometimes unacceptable. She’s put up with a lot.’
The insider said Hailey and those close to her were hopeful that he would change after the arrival of their first child, son Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024, but despite being there for her, little has changed.
‘When the baby was born he was there for her and she thought being a father would change him for the better, but it hasn’t stuck,’ they added.
Last week, Justin also attempted to debunk rumors of marital woes between him and his wife after setting the record straight about unfollowing her on Instagram.
Just hours after insisting that his social media account was hacked, he returned to the app to share loved-up photos with Hailey from their trip to Aspen, Colorado.
Mystery surrounding the couple’s marriage has intensified ever since he unfollowed his father-in-law Stephen Baldwin, furthering speculation of relationship woes and concern for the star after he also shared a picture of a bong.

Over the past few weeks, the musician has raised eyebrows by unfollowing a number of other notable names including his mentor Usher, his former manager Scooter Braun and Ryan Good, who was the best man at his wedding
This latest move has added to fan’s confusion, who shared their thoughts on X after it was posted online that Justin no longer follows Hailey’s page.
Just late last year, the pair were embroiled in split speculation following their sixth wedding anniversary.
Fans speculated that the couple were experiencing marriage troubles when they seemingly had a concerning Instagram Story exchange with each other last month.
