Justin and Hailey Bieber have faced their share of public scrutiny over the past weeks, with viral moments raising questions about their marriage, including divorce rumors. Despite the constant attention, with many concerned about the singer's well-being, the couple remains united, with a source revealing what the pair is experiencing.

“Hailey is very loyal to Justin. She's not on the verge of leaving him,” an insider explained to People, assuring that their relationship is good at the moment. “If anything, she’s sad about how hard everyone is being on him now that he’s starting to come back out of his shell."

The latest controversy took place at Coachella when videos of the singer went viral. He was accompanied by his brother, Jaxon. Justin's actions, particularly with his teenage brother present, drew public concern, but the source clarified that Justin’s behavior is not as problematic as it seems.

“Justin is having fun, vibing out and yes, he smokes weed like everyone else. But everything he does is being weaponized against him,” the source added, explaining that "Justin’s dad brought Jaxon to Coachella after seeing how much fun Justin and Hailey had the first weekend."

“Hailey’s very loyal to him. She’s not walking away, but she knows something has to change,” the insider explained further. “Her focus is raising Jack in a stable environment. She’s drawn a line around what she’s willing to tolerate. She means the world to Justin. They have quietly weathered more than most couples ever do.”

The drama continues as Justin has been more active on social media. Apart from his time at Coachella, he shared several sweet family moments. Despite the negative attention, Justin’s team has emphasized that he is simply enjoying his life.
