Justin Bieber’s life has been full of surprises, but the biggest one has to be how long his marriage and relationship to Hailey Bieber has lasted. In an industry where relationships inevitably buckle due to various reasons, it’s been a genuine surprise to see those two kids still together and married after all these years.
However, it seems like all that glitters in the Justin Bieber/Hailey Bieber marriage isn’t gold.
Speaking of romance (but of a good kind), the GOAT team talk digs into Valentine’s Day on ‘It’s Been A Big Day For…’ below:
In a now-deleted video shared to Instagram by Hailey, the couple are playing an arcade game and she ended up with a much higher score than Justin.
But rather than accept the defeat gracefully and, you know, have fun at an arcade with his wife, Justin is heard screaming “Baby, I wasn’t trying!” while grasping his forehead like he’s suffered a crushing loss at the Super Bowl.
I’m no shrink or anything of the sort, but it is pretty clear that Justin has a pretty fragile ego and is even more fragile when it comes to his masculinity, hence his outburst to his wife beating him at the arcade game.
Sadly, this is far from the first instance of a man’s fragile masculinity and ego rearing its head in a marriage and it is a one-way trip towards a relationship breakdown as there’s no way two people can stay together with that level of toxicity lingering in the air.
Now we’ve seen both Justin and Hailey talk openly about their marriage and how happy they are even though it’s about as convincing as Vincent Adultman passing off as an actual adult, but this while incident doesn’t exactly scream “healthy relationship”.
I’ve made fun of Justin and Hailey quite a bit for various reasons linked to their marriage (such as their sex life), but now I’m just worried about what these two kids have gotten themselves into. Here’s hoping Justin will sort himself out because his ego is at odds with the “good husband” schtick he’s trying so hard to project.
