Justin Bieber’s dedicated fan base have been left fraught with fears over the star’s mental health, substance use and marriage in recent months.
Yet the Baby hitmaker, 31, appears to be blazing a comeback trail in his personal life, as a slew of new posts, romantic statements and happy-go-lucky professions have helped shun memories of his turbulent year.
Last month, the star sparked rumours of trouble in his relationship to wife Hailey Bieber, neé Baldwin, over lyrics in his new album Swag where he discussed his troubles – leaving critics branding the album a ‘messy cry for help’.
Keen to silence the whispers, Justin and Hailey, 28, have been sharing a slew of loved-up snaps from their vacation to Idaho with their 15-month-old son Jack Blues, in a far cry from Justin’s bleary-eyed posts over the past month.
His new social media activity seems to echo insiders’ claims that Justin is ‘in a better headspace’ after his marriage was rocked by the release of Swag – Justin’s seventh studio album, which provided moody, dark and concerning lyrics.

Back in February, Justin sparked concern among fans when he appeared to be smoking a joint in a minute-long clip showing him inhaling and exhaling smoke

Speaking about the strain making the album cause, sources said: ‘When Justin is in the studio making new music, he gets completely consumed and shuts everything else out.’
Rumours of a rift had been compounded by the hitmaker’s sometimes erratic public behaviour and religious-inspired confessionals.
In June, fans were left concerned when he took to Instagram in a bizarre post to share his thoughts about telling other people what they do or do not ‘deserve.’
He penned: ‘Telling other humans they deserve something is like raising someone else’s kids. Who are you to tell someone what someone should or shouldn’t have?’
He balked at ‘the audacity’ and slammed his fans’ unsolicited opinions: ‘That’s not your place. God decides what we deserve.’
In response to his post, fans flooded his comments section with messages voicing concern, calling out his ‘hypocrisy’ and urging him to ‘take a social media break.’
Elsewhere, Justin was also accused by fans of ‘acting single’ and appeared distant, with little social media posts featuring Hailey, with the couple previously looking tense in pap shots from earlier this year.
The release of Swag meanwhile added to the drama. The record was his first album in four years, and the first since his career was sidelined by Ramsey Hunt syndrome in 2022, which caused the partial paralysis of his face.

‘Baby, I ain’t walking away / You were my diamond / Gave you a ring / I made you a promise / I told you, I’d change / It’s just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain’t walking away,’ he sings in the chorus of the track Daisies.
However, it appears the couple are now back on track following their rocky patch, with sources revealing how they used a recent family holiday.
Earlier this month it was clear the couple had been making considerable efforts into their relationship by making time for each other.
Justin had shared a collection of pictures of him and Hailey as they enjoyed a loved-up date night outdoors. The couple – who married in 2018 – cozied up to each other on quilts and pillows set on a crop of lush green grass.
The images were soundtracked by Otis Redding’s 1965 tune That’s How Strong My Love Is.
