He appeared to debunk rumours of marital woes when he shared a black and white picture of his wife Hailey, hours after his Instagram account briefly unfollowed her.

But Justin Bieber’s marriage is seemingly far from idyllic, with the pair apparently going days at a time without talking due to his refusal to listen to her concerns about his well being.

The tensions are believed to have prompted calls from Hailey’s friends to leave the musician, 30, with his ‘unacceptable’ behaviour raising concern.

‘Hailey’s been struggling with Justin almost since the start of the marriage,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘She loves him madly but he’s a loose cannon. Some of her friends have advised her to go it alone and leave him.

‘His behavior is sometimes unacceptable. She’s put up with a lot.’

The insider said Hailey, 28, and those close to her were hopeful that he would change after the arrival of their first child, son Jack Blues, 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.

Speculation about Justin’s well being gained traction in the wake of Diddy’s arrest last year. His formerly close bond with the disgraced rapper, real name Sean Combs, came under intense scrutiny.

Sources at the time told DailyMail.com that the combination of the fallout from Diddy’s arrest and Justin’s new role as a first-time dad had left him ‘stressed.’

Soon followed speculation of turmoil between Justin and Hailey, which was further fuelled this month when fans noticed he was no longer following his father-in-law Stephen Baldwin on Instagram.

Days later he prompted concern for his marijuana use when he shared a picture of himself using a bong, shortly before apparently unfollowing Hailey on social media.

He quickly claimed he had been ‘hacked’ and set about dismissing claims of troubles by posting an image of his super model wife from their current holiday in Aspen, Colorado, where he appears to be recording new music.

‘Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,’ he wrote in a statement shared to his Stories. ‘S*** getting suss out here.’ 

Rhode Beauty founder Hailey also appeared to do damage control by sharing a picture of a sleeping Justin.

But the insider added: ‘Hailey has been trying to give Justin the help he needs, but he doesn’t appreciate being told what to do and sometimes shuts her down and refuses to talk to her for days.’

A second source claimed Hailey, who tied the knot with Justin in 2018, puts up with his ‘baggage’ as she is desperate for them to be a ‘complete family unit.’

‘Living with Justin is a stressful experience because he often likes his own way,’ they added. ‘Sometimes he can be an unpleasant person to be around, and that’s when she lets him do what he wants as she knows it will be resolved a few days later.’

Justin’s social media activity has sent fans into overdrive in recent weeks. 

The musician raised eyebrows when he unfollowed a number of notable names including his mentor Usher, his former manager Scooter Braun and Ryan Good, who was the best man at his wedding, prompting speculation he was trying to shed people from his past.

But he is still following Diddy, despite sources previously telling DailyMail.com that he was ‘so disturbed’ by the news of his arrest back in September when he was indicted on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

The fallen mogul, 55, who remains locked up at Brooklyn’s infamous Metropolitan Detention Center in New York, has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He is facing life in prison of he is found guilty of the racketeering charges.

Following Diddy’s arrest, troubling videos resurfaced of the Bad Boy Records founder and a young Justin on the cusp of superstardom.  

‘Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off,’ a source said at the time.

‘So many people who helped to make him who he is were very close to Diddy and it has completely thrown him.

‘Justin hasn’t been responding on this since the home raids. He’s not going to.’
