Rumors are swirling that Justin and Hailey Bieber might be facing some financial strain. Justin recently made headlines by selling his music catalog for $200 million, which is pretty unusual for someone his age. On top of that, he just bought Hailey a new engagement ring worth a whopping $1.5 million. Some people are starting to wonder if Justin might be spending more than he’s bringing in, and there’s talk that Hailey’s spending habits could be adding to his stress. Ever since their wedding, Justin seems a bit out of sorts—he’s not making new music like he used to, and now he’s sold off his old hits. It’s leading some to believe he’s checked out, with sources saying the combination of feeling isolated and Hailey’s big spending is wearing him down.
It seems like things might not be as perfect as they appear. One headline even says: “Justin Bieber is miserable as wife Hailey blows millions of his fortune on wild luxuries, including a second engagement ring worth $1.5 million.” Unlike in the past, Justin isn’t working as much, so while he’s still got plenty of money, his income isn’t what it used to be. Meanwhile, Hailey doesn’t seem to mind spending it. An article described Justin as looking exhausted and stressed while performing at a pre-wedding party for the son of India’s richest man. After flying straight from LA to Mumbai, he powered through a set of his greatest hits before rushing back to California to be with Hailey, who is reportedly pregnant. It’s clear Justin is more selective about the gigs he takes these days, but with Hailey’s spending, turning down a $10 million paycheck might be tough. The article even questions why Justin would leave his pregnant wife to perform at such an event, hinting that he might need the money more than we realize—even though he was last reported to be worth about $300 million.
Sources close to Justin Bieber have told DailyMail.com that the pop star is feeling increasingly desperate. It’s wild to think about how much Hailey Bieber is spending. She’s reportedly dropped tens of millions on private jets, including one just to get her nails done by a specific manicurist. While her Road skincare line is pricey, it’s hard to believe it’s making enough to cover such lavish spending.
Meanwhile, Justin seems to have pulled back from making music, and some people are saying Hailey might be a big reason for that. They’re claiming he’s become isolated from his friends and family, and that he’s really unhappy. One insider said, “He’s lost his identity, creative drive, and he’s uninspired,” which honestly sounds a lot like what people say about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.
It’s such a far cry from the confident kid we first saw on stage in 2009. Now, Justin hasn’t released an album since 2021, and his last tour in 2022 was cut short when he canceled the rest of the dates due to health issues, including a scary bout with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome that caused part of his face to be paralyzed.
Then, in January 2023, Justin shocked everyone by selling the rights to his entire 291-song catalog for $200 million to Hypnosis Songs Capital. It’s a huge move, especially at his age, and it means he won’t be getting any royalties from any of his past songs. That’s something artists usually do when they’re wrapping up their careers, so it really makes you wonder what’s next for him.
Are these people struggling with money or something? The guy’s married and about to start a family, so you’d think he’d be focused on building generational wealth. What’s with all these one-time sales? This is supposedly the biggest music rights deal ever, but I can’t help but wonder if Justin was influenced by someone who took a big cut of that $200 million. Even some of his close friends were surprised he decided to sell. Usually, artists sell their catalogs later in their careers when the money can support their lifestyle as they step back from the limelight.
There’s word going around that Justin was advised not to sell, but Hailey played a role in convincing him—probably because she wanted that $200 million. If they have a prenup, I’m not sure what it covers, but if he made that money while they were married, it would likely be considered their shared wealth, unless their prenup says otherwise.
Back in May, the couple renewed their vows in Hawaii, and Hailey revealed she’s pregnant while also showing off a new 8-carat oval-cut diamond ring worth about $600,000. She’s likely flaunting it, especially since Justin was hesitant about buying it at first. Some people even criticized Hailey for asking for the ring, saying it was unfair to Justin. But in the end, she got what she wanted. Justin also bought her a new engagement ring worth $1.5 million. When she posted about it, people noticed the upgrade—an 18-carat ring, reportedly worth around $1.5 million, compared to the original 6-carat ring that cost $400,000. Now, people online are debating whether this means they’re rekindling their marriage. Honestly, they’ve got the money, so it seems like it’s just a nice gift.
There are also rumors that Hailey is controlling every aspect of Justin’s life. Apparently, her influence even extends to his style, which has shifted from polished to more grungy in recent years. One quote even mentioned, “Hailey used to want Justin to look hot. Now she prefers him looking unkempt, thinking it’ll keep other girls away.”
A representative for the couple shot down the claims, calling them nothing more than salacious rumors. But when you think about it, Hailey’s tighter grip on her husband’s life might be out of necessity—maybe Justin really needs that structure. After they tied the knot in 2018, Justin seemed to embrace a calmer lifestyle. He even told GQ that being with Hailey gave him someone to love and a stable home. But it wasn’t long before cracks started to show in their relationship. The couple has openly talked about the tough times in their first year of marriage, especially when Justin was dealing with severe bouts of depression.
People on social media have been quick to weigh in. One person tweeted, “He should have just stayed single,” while someone else chimed in, “She might as well make the most of it.” Hailey recently opened up about her pregnancy in a magazine interview, saying, “I probably could have hid it until the end, but I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy openly.” She pointed out how celebrities like Kylie Jenner often hide their pregnancies until the baby is born, which Hailey finds strange. She feels it promotes this idea that women need to hide unless they look perfect. Hailey believes pregnancy is beautiful and should be celebrated. She added, “If you’ve got a big pregnant belly, show it off.” She admitted that she kept her pregnancy under wraps because of the nasty backlash she’s been getting—vile, hateful comments based on completely false and twisted stories, which can be really harmful.
There are also conflicting reports that suggest a potential split. One article claims Justin got a new place in Beverly Hills to give Hailey some space. While it’s true Justin recently bought some property, it was actually in La Quinta, California, and it seems like he did it in an attempt to save their five-year marriage.
Meanwhile, Selena Gomez isn’t staying quiet. A headline recently read, “Selena Gomez laughs off it-girl era video set to Justin Bieber’s song, saying, ‘I was so depressed back then.'” The article talks about Selena reacting to old footage of herself being snapped by paparazzi and posing with a fan, with one of Justin Bieber’s songs playing in the background. The caption hinted that during that time, she would never have considered getting engaged to Benny Blanco. Some people criticize Selena’s connection with Benny, claiming he’s unattractive and pointing out some disturbing content he’s posted online, which has been brought up in previous videos.
Selena Gomez recently spoke out against some comments she’s received about her past, specifically those suggesting that she wouldn’t have dated someone like Benny Blanco back in the day. Some people were implying that she was too pretty or at her peak to be with him, which is a pretty harsh sentiment. Selena didn’t hold back, responding with, “Kind of makes me laugh because I was so, so depressed back then.” It’s a reminder that even if she looked great, she wasn’t actually happy at that time. Her response comes months after she confirmed her relationship with Benny and defended it from negative fans, stating, “He has treated me better than any human being on this planet.” This is interesting because Benny had actually dissed her in the past and was one of Justin Bieber’s longtime collaborators. Despite the criticism, Selena and Benny are still going strong. In fact, she recently told Howard Stern that they’re even thinking about starting a family. Benny himself has expressed that he wants to have kids with Selena, though he’s taking things one day at a time, saying, “I just know that when I look at her, I just say I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.” Though usually, people propose before talking about having kids, Benny seems to be doing things his own way.
Recently, fans have started speculating that Selena might be engaged to Benny. Over the weekend, there was a post from an anonymous source claiming that an A-list actress and a semi-retired singer got engaged at a beach, surrounded by friends. Since Selena recently celebrated her birthday at a beach, some are guessing she might have been proposed to by Benny. Some people aren’t fans of birthday engagements, but the speculation is still out there. Fans are divided, with one person saying, “I think she’s implying Selena Gomez got engaged,” while another commented, “It’s too soon, so I’ll take it with a grain of salt until I see it on Instagram.” Others seem excited about the idea, saying, “I hope this is true. They seem great together,” and “I would be so happy to see them get married.” Selena did share a post on her Instagram story during her birthday celebration, calling Benny the love of her life, which has only fueled the rumors. It’s clear that Benny treats her like the queen she is, and fans love seeing her so happy. She’s been open about how much joy this relationship brings her, and it’s obvious she’s never been happier.
On the flip side, Selena has also been dealing with some negativity online. Recently, she responded to a TikTok video from 2023 where a physician’s assistant suggested she had plastic surgery. Selena clapped back, saying, “Honestly, I hate this. I was on steroids because of a flare-up. I have Botox. Leave me alone.” She’s clearly tired of the speculation about her appearance, and she made it clear that she hasn’t had any plastic surgery. Even though some people think she looks different in every photo, Selena’s sticking to her story.
Overall, it’s great to see Selena in such a good place right now. She’s happy, thriving, and in a loving relationship with Benny Blanco. Fans are thrilled to see her smiling and doing well, and it looks like she had a fantastic birthday surrounded by friends and loved ones.
You know, every time I see a new photo of Selena Gomez, she looks different. I’m not sure if she’s had any cosmetic work done, but I honestly can’t figure out what’s behind the changes. Usually, I can guess if someone’s had Botox or fillers, but with Selena, I’m just stumped. And honestly, I don’t think it’s cool to nitpick someone’s appearance, especially when you consider all that Selena goes through, like the constant talk about her weight. She’s got enough on her plate.
Marissa, the person who made that TikTok about Selena, apologized pretty quickly because she didn’t mean to hurt Selena or put her on the spot. But it clearly affected Selena, who’s pretty active on social media. It even made me wonder if she’s ever stumbled across any of my videos—kind of freaks me out to think about it.
I totally agree that we should just leave her alone. I said as much in my own video. I get why someone might not appreciate those kinds of comments, and I’m not sure if Selena’s response was directed at me, the comment section, or just the whole situation. It was probably more about the overall reaction.
Honestly, Selena doesn’t owe anyone an explanation for why she doesn’t look the same as she did in her teens or twenties. I don’t look anything like I did back then either. If Selena’s happy, that’s what matters. Now, when it comes to Justin, it doesn’t really look like he’s happy these days. It’s so interesting to see how these two have grown up, taken different paths, and where they’ve ended up.
Selena’s doing great with her Rare Beauty line—she must be making a ton from that. It makes me wonder who’s pulling in more money now—Selena or Justin? Justin was a huge deal for years, and those tours had to have made him a fortune. It’s kind of fun to think about, but at the end of the day, both of them are doing well, probably better than their partners.
And yeah, Hailey’s living the good life, and Benny Blanco likely has a nice bank account too, given how much producers and songwriters can make in the music biz. But I’d love to know what you all think in the comments below.
