Concerns are mounting among friends that Justin Bieber might be on the verge of a breakdown as he navigates the challenges of first-time fatherhood with his newborn son. Justin Bieber, 30, and his wife Hailey Baldwin, 27, welcomed their baby, Jack Blues Bieber, on August 24.
According to an exclusive source for In Touch, there is anxiety about how the stress of parenting might affect Justin, who has struggled with the pressures of fame. “Justin already finds it tough to handle life under the spotlight, and the added responsibility of caring for a child might push him beyond his limits,” the insider reveals.
Prior to Jack’s birth, fans were already worried about Bieber’s health. The Grammy winner appeared thin and stressed during his July trip to India for a wedding performance, and later displayed agitation when fans attempted to photograph him at a Beverly Hills hotel.
At that time, sources indicated that Justin’s anxiety over fatherhood was disrupting his eating and sleeping patterns. The insider noted, “He used to relish the attention and adoration from his fans, but now it seems to distress him, likely due to the immense pressure he’s feeling at home.”
Those close to him are increasingly fearful about his mental well-being. “Hailey has been his main support, but now she must prioritize her role as a mother,” the source explained.
In Touch previously reported that Hailey had to comfort her anxious husband during her pregnancy. The source expressed concerns that the stresses of new parenthood might strain their marriage to a breaking point.
