Hailey Baldwin Said Online Haters Made Her Question Her Relationship With Justin Bieber
Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber just celebrated their one-year marriage anniversary together, but Baldwin is opening up about how she’s struggled with having such a public relationship. In an interview with Vogue Australia, Baldwin admitted that the constant online scrutiny made her question some things.
“Nobody from the outside really knows what's going on between us,” she said. “I wake up every morning with this person. I’m the only person that has direct dialogue with this person. This is my relationship. What's so tricky about mental health is that it can be easy to let people convince you of something that's not real.”
Bieber has been open about his struggles with mental illness, recently posting a lengthy letter to Instagram about how growing up as a child star led him to making some unwise choices in his personal life.
“I started doing pretty heavy drugs at 19 and abused all of my relationships. I became resentful, disrespectful to women, and angry. I became distant to everyone who loved me, and I was hiding behind a shell of a person that I had become,” he wrote. “I felt like I could never turn it around. It’s taken me years to bounce back from all of these terrible decisions, fix broken relationships, and change relationship habits.”
Baldwin added that reading thousands of comments from strangers about their relationship added a new level of strain to their relationship.
“When I had hundreds of thousands of comments bombarding me with: ‘He’s never going to this,’ ‘You’re never going to that,’ ‘You’ll be divorced by then,’ you can't help but wonder: ‘Does someone see something that I don't see?’” she added. “It starts to mess with your mind. But the only two people in a relationship are the two people in it. I’ve been working on retraining my thought process to understand that.”
