Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey pushed aside rumors of marriage tension as they stepped out together to attend the NY Knicks and LA Lakers game in New York City on Saturday.
The couple’s lowkey date night comes amid fan concerns after the Peaches hitmaker, 30, was spotted on various solo outings in the Big Apple this week looking disheveled and hollow-eyed.
Speculation that the pair’s relationship is in turmoil has also arisen over the singer’s reported ‘unacceptable’ behavior – with a source recently telling DailyMail.com that Justin is a ‘loose cannon.’
But over the weekend the model, 28, and Bieber were seen strolling next to each other as they headed to watch the basketball match in the bustling city.
The performer – who welcomed son Jack Blues with Hailey last year in August – dressed down wearing a pair of baggy, black pants as well as a neon yellow belt.
He also opted to don a plain white shirt as well as a cream-colored hoodie that was zipped up at the front.

For a finishing touch, Justin added a brown beanie on top of his head and slipped into comfy tan shoes.
Hailey showed her support for the New York-based team in a black leather jacket that had a variety of Knicks patches on the material.
The Rhode founder additionally wore a pair of loose-fitting black pants as well as closed-toed, black shoes.
She easily carried a mini, dark brown purse in her hand to hold a few items she needed during the outing.
Hailey’s locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly cascaded down past her shoulders and the media personality completed the look with a pair of stylish black shades.
Justin was seen walking closely behind his wife – whom he tied the knot with in 2018 – as they made their way to the venue.
Earlier in the day, the singer sparked more concerns among fans as he looked downcast while on a solo excursion in NYC.
And on Wednesday, the star looked hollow-eyed as he was seen without Hailey while sporting a vibrant yellow hoodie and cargo pants.

Some social media users shared their worries over his appearance, with one penning, ‘Whatever is going on with him, she needs to put their son first and foremost whatever she has to do…’
‘Not about her and her feelings about him anymore. Hopefully he can get the help he needs. Wish this family all the best,’ another wrote in reference to both Justin and Hailey.
A fan also typed, ‘He looks 40 years old. This young man needs help. Serious help. Something is eating at him. It’s not a sign of weakness to ask for help. He has a son to raise.’
This week, the couple were also spotted separately at the hot spot called Bar Pitti. She left the eatery alone in the afternoon at 4:30pm, and the singer later arrived to the same location around 6:40pm.
A source recently told DailyMail.com that Hailey ‘works all the time’ and is in NYC to attend meetings.
‘She is taking meetings here and there for new projects, she is super busy with her brand, which is doing better than she ever expected, it is a wonderful thing.’
The insider added, ‘She can create an empire and she likely will. She is very driven and she is a planner. She has guts and thinks like a CEO.’
The source then shared that her husband prefers to ‘chill with friends’ and is more ’emotional and leads with his heart.’

‘He is always working on music and toying with new ideas, he always has a guitar in his hand, he is super creative, but he does not work as much as she does.’
‘Justin already has so much success behind him, he is comfortable, he doesn’t need to prove anything. She is the leader and he doesn’t mind following her.’
Separate insiders also told DailyMail.com that the singer has become ‘borderline reclusive.’
‘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.’
One source continued, ‘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 time.’
The insider expressed, ‘The toll of being locked away from the world is also tough. It is tough on a partner, like Hailey, who is supportive and wants to help him get through these moments.’
‘Their recent trip to Aspen is an example of how she is encouraging him back out in public with close friends.’

They shared that becoming a father has also added to Justin’s reclusiveness. ‘He just loves being at home with Jack which impacts his desire to get back to work, although he has mentioned he wants to record, touring is a tough ask at the moment.’
‘Hailey has faced the same struggles that many new moms do too. She has her world turned upside down and that has meant some changes and time to adjust. It’s been a challenging time for her too.’
The model has also continued to shut down rumors of marriage turmoil – and recently uploaded a selfie of herself while carrying a large tote that had ‘Mrs. Bieber’ printed on the front.
Earlier this week on January 31, the pair enjoyed a rare outing together in NYC with their baby boy Jack Blues.
And last month, fans noticed that Justin was no longer following his wife on Instagram – and he soon broke his silence on the matter amid his unfollowing spree.
Taking to his Instagram stories, the Baby hitmaker penned to his fans: ‘Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. S**t is getting suss out here.’
A source recently opened up to DailyMail.com about Hailey and Justin’s relationship, stating that the singer can go days without speaking to his wife.
‘Hailey’s been struggling with Justin almost since the start of the marriage. 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 couple welcomed their son Jack Blues last year in August 2024 but the insider shared that the music artist has not changed much.
‘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.’
Speculation of a breakup ignited late last year and the singer sparked further concern among fans after he unfollowed his father-in-law, Stephen Baldwin, on Instagram last month.
