THE RUNDOWN

• Justin Bieber posted new vacation photos with Hailey, leading the Instagram carousel with a kissing photo.
• The post debunks separation rumors amid reports that Justin and Hailey are going through a hard time in their marriage.
• Justin sang about his issues with Hailey—and his resolve to stay by her side on his album Swag.

Justin Bieber further shut down speculation about trouble in his marriage to Hailey Bieber with an Instagram post this morning. The singer shared a captionless carousel of vacation photos, which began with an intimate shot of him kissing his wife.

It’s been almost seven years Justin and Hailey got married and nearly one year since they became parents. Justin made some direct statements about their relationship in his new album, Swag, which dropped on Friday. On the song “Walking Away,” Justin acknowledged their issues but also asserted his resolve to remain by Hailey’s side.

He sings, “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.”

In “Daisies,” he explores how he handles their time apart during conflict: “You leave me on read, babe, but I still get the message / Instead of a line, it’s three dots, but I can connect them / And if it ain’t right, babe, you know I respect it / But if you need time, just take your time / Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it / Way you got me all in my head / Think I’d rather you in my bed / Whatever it is, you know I can take it / I’m countin’ the days, how many days ’til I can see you again?”

Justin’s public statements on his marriage come after a source told Us Weekly on June 24 that the couple has been navigating a difficult time. “Justin’s been a hard person to deal with recently because of what he’s going through,” the insider said. “Hailey is the stable parent and the one keeping their family together. It’s been really hard on her.”

That source added that the couple isn’t considering separation: “They don’t talk about divorce.”

A second source said, “They believe they are soulmates and meant for each other.” They remain committed to their relationship, the insider added: “They’ll do anything to make it work.”
