According to an informant who speaks exclusively to In Touch, Hailey Bieber is thinking of asking her husband, Justin Bieber, for a trial separation after a trying period in their marriage.

“Hailey is having difficulties,” the insider said. “All she needs is some time to work things out for herself.”

According to the insider, the 27-year-old cosmetics mogul is still in shock from the “unbearable scrutiny” she received on social media when her father, Stephen Baldwin, shared a message asking for prayers for Hailey and 30-year-old Justin, suggesting that their five-year marriage was in jeopardy. She argued that the reports of her having an affair with a billionaire were made up “out of thin air” when they surfaced shortly after.

Health issues during the previous two years, such as Hailey’s ministroke and Justin’s diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which forced him to postpone his tour and spend more time at home, have added to all of that. The insider said that Hailey now simply wants to live alone for a bit.

The model has already talked candidly about a difficult period in her early marriage. She remarked in 2021, “I called my mom and I just can’t do it. I called her crying.” “But now would not be the time to give up on him; I’ve loved him for a very long time.”

The source claims that she is still not ready to quit up.

“Hailey is not requesting a separation. She is lost too, even though she is aware that Justin is sad and perplexed. All she needs is a vacation.
