Hailey Bieber is scrambling to steady her psychologically struggling husband, Justin, according to sources who say the model is now plotting a Band-Aid baby to shore up their shaky marriage.
The “Yummy” singer, 31, and 29-year-old Hailey — daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin — married in September 2018 and welcomed son Jack Blues in August 2024.
During the mannequin turned makeup mogul’s podcast appearance on In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele, the young mom gushed, “I know I want more than one.”
Hailey later said in a GQ interview that she feels “much more prepared” for another child than she was for her first.

Now, sources say Hailey hopes an additional baby may encourage Justin to walk the line. But an insider confides, “We all know he’s as fragile as a vase. I’m just not sure adding even more stress with a second child is the right way to keep him focused. It could push him over the edge.”
Justin postponed and ultimately canceled the remaining dates on his Justice World Tour in 2023 after developing temporary facial paralysis from Ramsay Hunt syndrome in early 2022.
Sources say he was on the verge of financial collapse, prompting the December 2022 sale of his roughly 300-song catalog for $200 million, and he’s since performed sparingly.
The troubled pop hunk, who previously admitted to self-medicating his crippling anxiety and depression with marijuana and prescription pills, is also grappling with the death of his beloved grandfather Bruce Dale, who helped raise him after his parents split.

Yet, sources fear stressed-out Grammy winner Justin is being driven to the breaking point — especially as he’s butted heads with paparazzi and was shown with a giant bong and a joint on social media.
“Justin’s behavior has been very concerning,” says an insider. “The fear is he’ll spiral into an even worse place than he’s in now.”
