Justin Bieber braved the rainy Los Angeles weather on Thursday amid concerns for the couple’s marriage, DailyMail reports.
The 30-year-old Peaches singer Justin Bieber who made a shirtless spa visit earlier this week — met up with a friend at a go-kart track in Santa Clarita.
He sported an outfit on theme for Valentine’s Day, rocking a pink and red ensemble ahead of the holiday.
Rather than staying dry, Justin Bieber headed out without an umbrella but shielded himself from the drizzle in a light pink beanie and a zip-up hoodie.
The two-time Grammy winner wore a pair of bright red sweatpants, which featured white graphics on both legs, so low that he had to hold them up as he walked.
Justin Bieber sported a pair of white fleece slip-on shoes as he strolled through the rain and carried just his phone in a bubblegum pink case.
The superstar appeared tense without wife Hailey — who recently enjoyed time away from her spouse — by his side.
The outing came hours after he was called out by fans for leaving a seemingly ‘flirty’ comment on actress Keke Palmer’s latest Instagram thirst trap.
In a comment, captured by Comments By Celebs, Justin sang Palmer’s praises as he reacted to a sexy snap of her in a white crop top, low-rise beige pants and a silk Burberry scarf wrapped around her head.
‘She said I’m poppin out [heart-eyes emoji],’ the Yummy hitmaker, 30, allegedly wrote under the post.
He appeared to be complimenting Palmer’s glamorous outfit, which she wore to attend a New York Knicks game earlier this week.
Although Bieber’s comment seems to have been deleted or removed, he was among the 118,791 Instagram users that ‘liked’ Palmer’s post.
In response to his comment, one Instagram user wrote: ‘He’s always showing so much love to other girls in the comments.’
Palmer, 31, and Bieber have been friendly for years and have publicly shown support for each other on many occasions.
The performer, who split from her baby daddy Darius Jackson in late 2023, also previously interviewed both Justin and his Hailey at the 2021 Met Gala.
During the chat, she told the couple that as a pair they looked ‘obviously beautiful’ and raved it was ‘wonderful’ to see them.
In November 2024, while appearing on the Club Shay Shay podcast, Palmer reacted to Bieber’s viral video on wanting to protect Billie Eilish from the industry’s harsh realities at a young age.
Kids are easily taken advantage of. You can go all the way back to Judy Garland when they were pumping her up with drugs. So, I mean, it happens, and even if it’s not the most extreme idea it’s still traumatizing,’ she said in agreement.
Back in 2010, when asked about Bieber’s rise to stardom, Palmer gushed that he’s ‘such a sweet guy’ and ‘has great personality.’
‘Very charming, I must admit,’ she told Popstar!. ‘He’s awesome.’
More recently, Hailey invited Palmer to appear in an episode of her hit YouTube series, Who’s In My Bathroom?, which came out in March 2022.
During the segment, the women enjoyed snickerdoodle cookies together and went head-to-head in a spelling bee.
Over the past few months, rumors about Justin and Hailey’s marriage have intensified in light of reports describing the Peaches singer’s behavior as ‘unacceptable.’
A source told DailyMail.com that he is a ‘loose cannon’ and his behavior has allegedly put a strain on their relationship.
Earlier this month, the couple sparked more strife speculation when they were seen separately at the popular restaurant Bar Pitti.
Hailey was spotted leaving alone around 4:30 PM, while Justin arrived with a group of friends just half an hour later, before exiting solo at 6:40 PM.
Sources close to the couple have since revealed to DailyMail.com that Justin’s weary look may be the result of him becoming ‘borderline reclusive,’ struggling with the pressures of large crowds and the constant spotlight after years in the public eye.
‘Justin has been struggling for the last couple of years and a significant part of that is down to his worry about being in certain public situations,’ the source said.
‘He has built up a deep fear of being out in spaces with lots of people and has a deep-seated worry about large crowds. That is one of the reasons why he’s not done any touring for a while.’
Justin focused on trying to heal and get better by staying away from too many outings away from his homes where he would have to mix with strangers – and that in turn has made him borderline reclusive at times.’
His fears have taken a toll on Hailey who has been desperately trying to encourage him to overcome his concerns, with the insider claiming their recent trip to Aspen was her attempt to help ease him into public life.
Sources also told DailyMail.com that Hailey’s friends are growing increasingly concerned about Justin’s ‘unacceptable behavior,’ with some reportedly urging her to leave the musician.
‘Hailey’s been struggling with Justin almost since the start of the marriage,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively last week.
‘She loves him madly, but he’s a loose cannon. Some of her friends have advised her to go it alone and leave him,’ the source shared.
‘His behavior is sometimes unacceptable. She’s put up with a lot.’
The insider said Hailey and those close to her were hopeful that he would change after the arrival of their son, Jack Blues, in August 2024, but despite being there for her, little has changed.
