This summer, things started to fall apart for Justin and Hailey Bieber. No one was saying “divorce,” but it was clear that they were going through some things, and that Justin was not being a good husband and partner. What was interesting is that the marriage trouble largely played out in public, and it felt like Hailey and Justin’s teams were talking pretty openly about it with the media. Then, in late August, those same people swore that Hailey and Justin had turned a page and their marriage had improved a lot. Once again, it played out in public with briefings to the American press. Well, now it’s official, because now it’s in People Magazine.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin Bieber are going strong. A source tells PEOPLE how overcoming their “challenges” has strengthened their bond as a couple. Hailey, 28, and Justin, 31, celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary on Sept. 13. They also marked their son Jack Blues’ first birthday in August.

“They’ve had challenges like anyone else, but they always come back to the same thing: They truly believe they are soulmates,” the source says.

“Becoming parents has only deepened their bond — Jack is the center of everything for them. Both Justin and Hailey are thriving right now. They just celebrated their wedding anniversary, he’s on top of the charts, and she’s breaking records in beauty,” the source continues.

“They are both very focused. Justin’s super grateful for his fans. He’s hyped about Coachella. Hailey will be there of course.”

In May, e.l.f. Beauty acquired Hailey’s skincare brand Rhode for $1 billion in a landmark deal. The model has since become the brand’s chief creative officer and head of innovation. And on Sept. 15, the 2026 Coachella lineup was announced. Justin, along with Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G were announced as headliners for the upcoming California festival. He will be taking the stage on the April 11 and 18 dates of the event next year.

Sure. I’ll buy that. I also believe the rumors that the Bieber marriage was strengthened by Hailey selling Rhode. The gossip going around is that Hailey apparently injected some of that cash into Justin’s ailing finances. Whatever happened, “sources” are no longer talking about how Justin is broke and he screwed over his old team. If Hailey spent some of her money fixing Justin’s problems… well, she’s really in this for the long haul. I’m saying this genuinely: I hope their marriage has gotten stronger and I hope Justin works on being a more supportive partner.
