Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber were the subject of divorce speculation for literal months earlier this year, but the rumors settled down amid the release of Justin's new album SWAG—which Hailey was been super supportive of.
And now a source is out here dishing to Us Weekly, saying the "tension has settled" between the couple amid SWAG's rollout.
"The intense focus and emotional toll of creating new music had put a strain on their marriage," the insider explains. "When Justin is in the studio making new music, he gets completely consumed and shuts everything else out."
Justin and Hailey have reportedly "been able to finally reconnect more" this summer in Idaho, and "there’s a sense of relief on both sides. Justin’s behavior has been more relaxed. He felt a lot of pressure hanging over him and has been in a better mental headspace these last few weeks. He is very happy there have been positive reviews of the album and that fans like it."
Meanwhile, Hailey "takes it day by day and is very patient" with Justin, as the source notes that "there’s still work to be done in their marriage, but they’re in a much better place."
FYI, this update comes amid a source telling People last month that "Hailey was by Justin's side for the whole creation of the album. Everyone knows Justin as a star and a performer. They now get to know the artist that Hailey has known all these years.... Hailey supported Justin to follow his artistic instincts. She helped him to trust himself and do what Justin knew he wanted to do as an artist."
