Who is he married to?

Bieber proposed to model Hailey Baldwin in July of 2018 after being on and off for some time. 

The two sparked dating rumors in 2015 and confirmed their relationship in January 2016, but broke up just six months later.

They unfollowed each other on social media and Justin sparked up a romance with Sofia Richie.

He later rekindled his on-off relationship with Selena Gomez - and during that time, he was hit by tales of wild parties, drugs, booze and legal problems. 

Justin and Selena called it quits in March 2018 and two months later, he was back on with Hailey.

Hailey talked about their break between 2016 and 2018, saying it was the "best thing" for their relationship in the end.

She claimed that Bieber was a f**boy and had doubts about reconciling, but eventually did as she saw progress on his personal growth.

They had a giant party with friends and family in September of 2019 to celebrate their nuptial.

In November 2021, Hailey opened up about her near breaking point in her marriage to Bieber.

She claimed his mental health struggles affected the beginning of their relationship.

“I remember I called (my mom) a few different times, one particular time [when] we were in Brooklyn and I was calling her, crying, and I was like, ‘I just can’t do it. There’s no way that I’m going to be able to do this if it’s going to be like this forever,’" the model explained in an episode of the “In Good Faith with Chelsea & Judah Smith” podcast.

"And I just remember she was so calm on the phone and she was like, ‘It’s going to pass, you’re going to be fine and he’s going to be healthy and we’re here for you.’”

“But I also just think I was in it. I made a decision. I know for a fact that I’ve loved this person for a very long time and now would not be the time to give up on him. I just wouldn’t do that to him,” she continued.

“Imagine abandoning somebody in the middle of the worst time of their life, potentially. I’m not that type of a person,” Hailey emphasized.

“So I was going to stick it out no matter what the outcome was going to be. It was really hard. … There were days where I literally was like, ‘I don’t know if he’s going to be OK.’ Something really deep down inside of me was like, ‘He’s going to be through it.’ I just didn’t know how long it was going to take.”

What did Justin Bieber say about depression?

Bieber revealed early this year that he was battling depression and Lyme disease in a docuseries.

He opened up about his mental health struggles on social media in March 2020.

He said: "Just wanted to keep you guys updated a little bit hopefully what I’m going through will resonate with you guys.

"Been struggling a lot. Just feeling super disconnected and weird."

Bieber was spotted with an IV in his arm inn 2020.

Fans apparently thought it was just a vitamin drip, but it was later known that the medicine was to treat the disease.

It is unclear how he contracted the disease as it is spread through a tick bite.

In November 2021 on the In Good Faith with Chelsea & Judah Smith podcast, Bieber revealed that he was having "out of body experiences" and sensory issues as he struggled with depression.

“I had experienced so many things in my life. So many milestones and traveled the world and seen everywhere in the world. And I just got to a place where I was lonely, and I just didn’t want to do it all alone,” the musician noted during the podcast.

”I realized there was some serious healing I needed to go through in order to get to a place where I could be in a healthy, serious relationship because I had a lot of trauma and scars. So I just committed to working on those things and getting healthy.”
