Justin Bieber is making headlines once again, and this time, 

insiders claim his latest bizarre behavior is linked to the engagement of his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, to music producer Benny Blanco.

Sources reveal that Bieber, 30, has been struggling with “mixed feelings” about the news, as Blanco was once one of his closest friends.

Bieber Reportedly Feels ‘Betrayed’ by Benny Blanco’s Engagement to Gomez

Selena Gomez, 32, announced her engagement to Blanco, 36, in December,

marking a significant milestone in her life after her on-and-off relationship with Bieber, which lasted from 2010 to 2018.

While Bieber has moved on with his wife, Hailey Baldwin, sources claim the engagement still hit a nerve.

A source close to the situation stated, “Justin confided in Benny about his heartbreak over Selena. In a way, Justin felt betrayed over the engagement, even though he knew he had no right to feel that way.”

The alleged emotional turmoil has led Bieber to display some concerning behavior. Recently, he shared a video on Instagram where he appeared disoriented, rapping about getting high while onboard a private plane. The clip, which featured lyrics like, “I fly high like a magpie, I go high like I’m that guy,” left many fans worried, with some calling it “desperate” and “sad.”

Ties to Diddy’s Legal Troubles Add to Bieber’s Emotional Struggles

Beyond Gomez’s engagement, insiders suggest that Bieber’s mental state has been further affected by the ongoing legal troubles of his former mentor, Sean “Diddy” Combs. The hip-hop mogul was arrested last September on multiple charges, including trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution—claims he has denied.

Bieber, who was partially mentored by Combs early in his career, reportedly spent an unsupervised 48-hour period with him at just 15 years old. According to sources, Bieber is deeply unsettled by the allegations and has chosen to shut down emotionally rather than process the situation.

“Justin is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it, so he has shut off,” an insider revealed.

Hailey Baldwin Reportedly Struggling with Postpartum Issues

While Bieber appears to be dealing with his own inner turmoil, sources say his wife, Hailey Baldwin, has also been facing challenges since becoming a mother last August.

“She has been struggling with the emotional turmoil that many women experience after having a baby,” a source explained. “Justin has been bearing the brunt of it.”

However, some insiders argue that Baldwin is not the only one struggling in their marriage. They claim Bieber’s erratic behavior has taken a toll on their relationship, with some of Baldwin’s friends advising her to leave him.

“Hailey loves him madly, but he’s a loose cannon. Some of her friends have advised her to go it alone and leave him,” another insider claimed.

Public Appearance Sparks Concern for Bieber’s Well-Being

The concerns over Bieber’s mental state escalated earlier this month when he accompanied Baldwin to the Los Angeles launch of a pop-up event for her beauty brand, Rhode. Footage from the event showed Bieber dressed in an oversized beanie and sunglasses, shifting his weight uncomfortably, scratching his thighs, and grinning in an unsettling manner.

His appearance raised further speculation about his emotional state, with sources claiming Baldwin was “deeply concerned” and struggling to find ways to help him.

“She doesn’t know where to turn,” an insider shared.

Bieber Attempts to Reassure Fans with Social Media Post

Despite the growing worries, Bieber later took to Instagram to share a series of happy-looking photos of himself and Baldwin embracing. The couple appeared to be smiling, seemingly trying to dispel rumors of tension between them.

As of now, neither Bieber nor Baldwin has publicly addressed the speculation surrounding their relationship, his connection to Blanco and Gomez’s engagement, or his reported reaction to Combs’ legal troubles.

While Bieber’s behavior has certainly sparked concern, only time will tell whether these recent events are just temporary struggles or signs of deeper emotional distress.
