The newborn son of troubled singer Justin Bieber may be placing him on the verge of a breakdown as he confronts the responsibilities of fatherhood for the first time, a new report claimed. On August 24, Justin, 30, and his 27-year-old wife, Hailey Baldwin, welcomed their son, Jack Blues Bieber.

“Justin already has a hard time coping with life in the spotlight, so the worry is the stress of having a child to take care of and protect will be more than he can handle!” an unnamed source told The National Enquirer.

Fans conveyed apprehension regarding the health of the gaunt Grammy winner prior to Jack's arrival. Justin was visibly fatigued and anxious in July as he traveled to India to perform at a wedding. Subsequently, he was photographed shoving admirers who attempted to capture a photograph of him at a Beverly Hills hotel.

At the time, an anonymous insider reported that the star was experiencing difficulty eating or sleeping due to "anxiety" regarding becoming a father.

“He used to enjoy his fans and all the attention that comes with his fame. But now it just seems to upset him, and the fear is part of that is all the pressure he’s facing at home. People in his circle are afraid he could be a ticking time bomb ready to explode. Hailey’s been his rock — but now she’s got to make being a mother a priority!” the undisclosed informant stated.

Tipster stated, during her pregnancy, Hailey was compelled to convince her anxious spouse to step back from the ledge. “There are now worries the pressure of being new parents could push their marriage to the point of no return!” the tipster shared.

Meanwhile, just under two weeks ago, Justin and Hailey welcomed their son, Jack Blues Bieber. Hailey immediately emerged from her newborn bubble to attend to her first baby, her skincare brand, Rhode Beauty, despite the fact that we are confident they are in the midst of baby joy.

Although Justin announced the arrival of Jack on his Instagram, Hailey has been silent on her grid, with no posts in over a month. However, she has been active on Instagram Stories since the week Jack arrived, routinely reposting Rhode Beauty content, indicating that her focus remains on work.

Hailey is the brains behind her enormously successful brand and serves as its spokesperson. Consequently, it is understandable that she feels the necessity to maintain a presence for Rhode's fans. However, wellness expert Brogan Garrit Smith emphasizes that this strain is detrimental to new mothers, as per W Magazine.

"Mothers are expected to work at the same level as pre-child, which is almost impossible. I question why we almost feel so ashamed to say this," she says of the pressure to return to work after having a baby,” Brogan said.

"You are not the person you were pre-child. Sometimes it’s best to give yourself the space and grace to focus on what’s in front of you rather than follow society’s impression of what a career should look like,” she added.

"I would give a standing ovation to any woman going back to work. Well done, and remember, you need to go easy on yourself and accept that you won’t have the same time and capacity you did before, or even the same brain space. And that doesn’t make you a bad person, it makes you human!" Brogan said.
