Justin Bieber says first year of marriage to Hailey Baldwin was ‘really tough’: ‘There was just lack of trust’

Justin Bieber has opened up about how hard he found the first year of his marriage to Hailey Baldwin due to a ‘lack of trust’.

The Justice star, 27, married the model, 24, in a secret ceremony in New York in 2018 before exchanging vows in a formal ceremony in South Carolina in September 2019.

Justin spoke honestly about the struggles he found with being married, telling GQ: ‘The first year of marriage was really tough because there was a lot, going back to the trauma stuff.

‘There was just lack of trust. There was all these things that you don’t want to admit to the person that you’re with, because it’s scary. You don’t want to scare them off by saying, “I’m scared.”’

The singer admitted that he spent the first year of being a husband ‘on eggshells’ but says having a new-found stability in his personal life has been a blessing.

Justin explained: ‘We’re just creating these moments for us as a couple, as a family, that we’re building these memories.

‘It’s beautiful that we have that to look forward to. Before, I didn’t have that to look forward to in my life.

‘My home life was unstable. Like, my home life was not existing. I didn’t have a significant other. I didn’t have someone to love. I didn’t have someone to pour into. But now I have that.’

While he and Hailey are not planning to start a family right now, children are definitely in the couple’s plan ‘eventually’.

Justin added: ‘I just felt like that was my calling. Just to get married and have babies, and do that whole thing.’

He had also recently joked that he and Hailey were ‘practising’ for parenthood as the pair of them played in a swimming pool with one of his friends’ babies in January.
