The couple, who tied the knot in September 2018, appeared to be the picture of marital bliss after welcoming their first child together, son Jack Blues, in August last year.
Instead, Justin has become increasingly unrecognizable, fueling concerns with videos of himself taking drags from a bong, smoking weed and acting erratically on impromptu live streams.
The Baby musician has also been papped in public wearing bizarre outfits, and posted a cryptic meme following his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez’s engagement to music producer Benny Blanco.
Those closest to Justin have desperately pleaded for an intervention, while his wife Hailey has reportedly asked friends and family to pray for her husband.
Fans of the couple are well aware of their dedication to their faith, with Justin and Hailey often pH๏τographed leaving church.
The pair have also cozied up to Churchome pastor Judah Smith after previously distancing themselves from the disgraced Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz.

Our source said that although Justin and Hailey are still ‘trying to figure it all out’ seven years into their marriage, Justin has been ‘leaning on his faith to make that happen for the better.’
However, there’s only so much the model can take and if the pair were to ultimately divorce, both Justin and Hailey recognize the emotional toll it would have on the Sorry singer.
‘Justin and Hailey are very much aware that if they were to split it would likely lead to a complete tailspin for Justin that he could struggle to recover from,’ the source continued.
‘Hailey is his rock.’

The Never Say Never pop star made sure to remind his fans of that when he affirmed his love for Hailey with a series of Instagram tributes last month.
In an apparent attempt to clear up speculation regarding marital woes, he shared a slew of images of his wife, with songs about love added to the posts.
He first posted three snaps of Hailey posing in front of what looks like a studio with musical instruments and a sunset lamp.
Justin overlaid the post with the song All My Life by K-Ci & JoJo, which includes lyrics like ‘I will never find another lover sweeter than you’ and ‘All my life I prayed for someone like you.’
Just hours later, he posted another picture of Hailey on his main grid, this time taken from behind while she’s at the wheel of a car and opted for Beyoncé’s Irreplaceable as the song.
Most recently, Justin featured Hailey on his Instagram to announce the arrival of his upcoming clothing line, SKYLRK.
On Thursday, the Sorry singer released a promotional video for his new fashion brand after teasing the venture in a series of posts.
The video, set to the soundtrack of his friend Eddie Benjamin’s single MANIAC, featured a cartoon version of Justin riding a scooter to an abandoned house, flashing to a Drew House teddy bear floating in a swimming pool.

Justin set the house alight before leaving and locking lips with Hailey.
The pair then walked into a new building with their son Jack in a stroller. The clip ended with the SKYLRK logo flashing up on screen.
Fans were quick to point out the hidden meanings, highlighting the significance of Justin severing ties with his old fashion brand Drew House and the decision to include Hailey in the video to put divorce rumors to bed.
‘A new era is coming,’ one fan commented.
‘Well done Justin,’ wrote another user. ‘Burning the past and moving on with wifey and Jack’.
