i honestly feel bad for hailey baldwin. she is shouldering a huge burden by being everything stable in his life. to be made to feel like you are the only thing holding someone together is really really heavy and unfair and hard to see when you’re extremely young and you’ve been raised with religious views that women are to unconditionally support and serve their husbands. i sincerely wish them the best b/c they have a long hard road in front of them.
I agree. It’s harmful to be made to feel as if you are completely responsible for someone else’s well being.
She sure enjoys shopping with his money. What else does she have to do besides coddling her baby man husband?
@apple: she has a career of her own, albeit one that is helped by his fame. She also has famous parents. I’m not saying that any of the Baldwin’s are “good” people but they live around me and they do donate a lot of time and awareness to local arts and homeless causes.
That’s possible, but it’s also possible she found her person, and she happens to be able to offer him perspective and support which can help him get himself through the roughage of his old issues to a happier existence?
The responsibility is on him to stay healthy and happy, but if she’s willing to keep herself in check and help offer perspective, she gets to enjoy being with her person.
If my husband left me because he didn’t deserve my bout of severe anxiety and panic a couple years ago, I don’t know how I’d be today. If he wanted to, he’d be entitled to that of course, but He knew that wasnt the real me, and supported me in my climb back to the top, and we’re stronger because of it, and I will ALWAYS help him through any rough patch of his. That’s loving a person to the core, not just for the perks, and keeping a tally of fairness.
“Have you noticed the statistics for child stars and the outcome of their lives?” Truer words never spoken. Good for him for starting to wake up, we can only wish him well now.
I agree. I’m not a huge Bieber fan (he became popular when I was already in my 20’s) but the last few years it has looked like he’s calmed down and is trying to change his ways and settle down. Of course he was a douche being a millionaire at such a young age. Any guy I know at that age with unlimited money and people bending over backwards to please them would have been the same, giant ego and “I can do anything I want” attitude included. At least he realized it and is trying to grow up and change. Best of luck to him!
Seems to think marriage as a solution to his problems . What if his marriage fails. He needs to work on himself to become a strong individual ..end of the day don’t think his GF wants to play his psychologist during their marriage or she may end resenting him as they grow older
Not to mention when they have kids (both have said they want them)…her attention will go to the baby and he will get resentful.
yep, relying on your partner / marriage to fix you is not a good idea….
@ Elisa : No, it’s not but when you’re that young, it’s easy to believe that it will do that. I hope he keeps growing and being open to learning.
I think it was brave of him to post this and take ownership of his past behaviour / acknowledge how the public perceives him. It could be part of the apology step of an AA program?
I agree, and I think you’re right that it might be a 12-step thing.
Poor guy. He sounds like he’s experienced a lot of pain and gone through some very self-destructive periods. Hopefully he’s not looking at marriage as a panacea. I worry, because despite what he says on his IG, those two look really unhappy together every time I see pictures of them – her especially.
I think they are doing ok at least…I mean they are having a wedding reception September 30th.
I truly wish the best for Bieber. There was pretty much no way that he was going to have a normal/rational adolescence/early adulthood given the insane trajectory of his career while so young. I hope this is a phase that he develops some great coping mechanisms and a wide network of support so that he can stabilize and really grow. I hope that he’s not putting too much pressure on Hailey. Hopefully she helps ground him and inspires him to be better, but isn’t his whole reason for trying to improve himself.
Re: Lainey’s coverage on Travalyst – I think she’s pretty spot on here.
The snarky comment by that Blemish poster who trolled Katherine Schwarzenegger and the latest generation of Kennedys for being self-serving seemed to miss the fact that Tatiana Schlossberg has written what looks like a very relevant book! Also, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg may not have succeeded in her Senate run but she is super smart and has written multiple books herself, in addition to being Ambassador to Japan under Obama. Those are no small feats.
Also, that answer by Joe Biden was horrible and does not inspire voters, in my book. Just drop out of the race and let Elizabeth Warren take it home, Joe.
Breaking: old white dude thinks that he and he alone can save the world. Gah. Drop out already.
Old white dude is the only one who can beat Trump. The voters in the general election will not go for a far-left candidate.
Himmiefan, Barack Obama begs to differ. How quickly people forget stuff that happened 11 years ago.
Or Kamala Harris. 👌💖
Bieber seems so….unstable. I worry for him, but mostly for his wife for having to act more like his mother/caretaker than his partner.
Glad he’s getting help. But hope he isn’t relying on his wife to make him happy.
Hailey is going to grow extremely tired of him as they grow older if he doesn’t start living for himself and find his own ways.
Good for biebs for having some insight. I hope he has some professional therapy along with his wife.
These kids have so much money at such a young age no wonder they go spinning out of control. I give him a lot of credit for posting this.
Meh. A for bringing awareness to mental health issues and being candid I guess. I do wish him well. I also wish there was more of a platform given to therapy, medication, etc. Sure it’s his journey….I can also still shake my head a little at the preachy church angle. He’s got a lot of work to do on himself yet and unfortunately this relationship was likely, by his own admission, built on very shaky ground. Enter a young woman who gets to “save him”, quite publicly, and thus a narrative of the dutiful wife and the child star turned insightful righteous and religious husband was born. I can’t help but feel a little for Selena Gomez or other women who perhaps really did try to love the person underneath but couldn’t drown with someone who wouldn’t swim. Could also be me projecting – it’s hard to watch a person you invested so much into finally start to get it together right around a new relationship. But I hope Hailey remembers people don’t “save” other people. And I truly hope that if this is some kind of amends thing that he’s really invested in he takes a moment to really reflect on the pain he caused other people. Growth is more than saying sorry or acknowledging misdeeds.
Yeah, I also feel sorry for Selena Gomez and the (I’m sure hundreds) of other women he was with and treated like crap. It’s problematic to send the message that there was something wrong with the other women and they couldn’t “save” Justin the way Hailey can.
Not saying that’s the message Justin is intentionally sending, but I do think there’s some heavy implying when he says “God blessed me with amazing people who love me for me”. Hard to say how many of those women would have (or did) love Justin genuinely, but he was in too destructive a mindset to see it at the time.
Hailey isn’t and can’t be the one who saves Justin. Justin has to do that himself. And I hope Selena and the other women Justin was with are off living their best lives.
