Fans have recently grown concerned about Justin Bieber after he was spotted several times in New York City looking tired and downcast. The 30-year-old singer, who has been facing rumors about his relationship with wife Hailey Bieber, appeared fatigued with hollow eyes and a somber expression—much different from the energetic pop star he once was.

At just 15, Justin became a global sensation with his catchy music and boyish charm, but those days seem far behind him now. His scruffy look and serious demeanor raise questions about what’s going on behind the scenes.

This comes despite the happiness of welcoming his son, Jack Blue, with Hailey last summer. Still, Justin’s appearance mirrors growing rumors about his reportedly difficult behavior, which some say has caused strain in his six-year marriage.

Sources close to Hailey told DailyMail.com that her friends are concerned about Justin’s behavior. They claim that Hailey has struggled with Justin’s actions from the start of their marriage, and some friends have even suggested she leave him. According to an insider, “Hailey loves him, but his behavior is sometimes unacceptable.”

Justin’s tired appearance is believed to stem from his reclusive behavior, possibly due to a growing fear of being in public spaces. The pressures of fame have left him increasingly reluctant to leave home, even as he tries to focus on healing. He’s been avoiding large crowds, which has made him borderline reclusive.

Despite these challenges, Justin’s desire to be home with his son, Jack, has made him less focused on returning to work or touring, although he has expressed interest in recording new music.
