Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin have a great support network in one another after the pair both experienced health issues in recent months.
The singer, 28, revealed in an Instagram video this week that he has been suffering facial paralysis caused by Ramsay Hunt syndrome after a virus, meaning he had to cancel dates on his Justice World Tour.
Hailey, 25, also spoke out earlier in the year about ending up in hospital after she had a mini-stroke, caused by a blood clot to her brain, which was the result of an undiagnosed hole in her heart, which she underwent surgery to fix.
Despite the difficult few months, sources close to the couple say they have been leaning on one another to help each other through.
A source told People: ‘Between Hailey’s health scare earlier this year and now this, it’s a lot for them. Hailey is worried as well.
‘Just like Justin did everything he could to take care of Hailey, she now does the same for him.’

The insider added: ‘They are a great team and will get through it together. Justin can’t wait to recover and continue working.’
Justin had revealed half of his face is paralysed, meaning he is not able to smile, flare his nostril or blink on that side.
Ramsay Hunt syndrome can occur due to the shingles and chickenpox virus which attacks the nerves and is usually temporary if treated early.

Justin urged fans to keep him in their prayers and vowed to get better after a period of rest, as it was his ‘body telling him to slow down’.
He explained: ‘This is pretty serious as you can see. I wish this wasn’t the case but obviously, my body is telling me I got to slow down, and I hope you guys understand, and I’ll be using this time to rest and relax and get back to 100 percent so that I can do what I was born to do.’
