<p id=”par-2_57″>Fans noticed that Justin Bieber unfollowed several people on social media who used to be in his inner circle in early 2025. Most notably, Justin unfollowed Usher, his previous mentor. He also unfollowed (and possibly blocked) former managers Scooter Braun and Allison Kaye, former bodyguard Kenny Hamilton, former “swag coach” Ryan Good, and songwriter/producer Poo Bear. </p>
<p id=”par-3_23″>Additionally, Justin unfollowed his father-in-law, Stephen Baldwin, making fans wonder if Justin and Hailey Bieber aren’t in a good place in their marriage.</p>
<p id=”par-4_63″>A source told <a href=”https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/hailey-justin-bieber-are-very-much-together-amid-split-rumors/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Life & Style</a> that Justin “has a tendency to cut people from his life,” resulting in isolation. The insider noted that the star has “really been looking at his relationships with certain people and what kind of influence they’ve had on him. He feels some prioritized his career over his personal happiness and weren’t supportive of his relationship with Hailey.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_68″>Despite the rumors that Justin and Hailey might split, the source noted that the couple maintains a strong marriage. “Justin has not been in the best headspace, but he’s continued to work through a lot, and Hailey’s supported him,” they said. In addition to anxiety and depression, Justin manages Lyme disease and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/justin-biebers-paralysis-causes-ramsay-hunt-syndrome.html/”>Ramsay Hunt syndrome</a>. “She’s been a rock and really shown a lot of strength amid adversity.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_15″>The insider added that their son, Jack, has “brought them closer” as a couple. </p>

Justin Bieber and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Didn’t Actually Spend 48 Hours Together, Ex-Bodyguard Says </a>
</p>

<p id=”par-7_41″>While Justin Bieber might be cutting people out of his life in 2025, he still maintains his loving marriage to Hailey Bieber. The couple tied the knot in September 2018. Justin admitted he thought the marriage would “fix” his personal problems.</p>
<p id=”par-8_57″>“I remember when I first got married, I hit a little bit of an emotional breakdown because I thought marriage was going to fix all my problems and it didn’t,” he told Apple Music’s Ebro Darden on <em><a href=”https://music.apple.com/us/curator/the-ebro-show/990473683″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Ebro Show</a></em>. “It just kind of was a reflection of like, man, you’re a bit of a hypocrite man.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_63″>Justin noted that “trauma and life circumstances” made him take a look at himself in the mirror and have personal realizations. “You want your wife to do something that you’re not doing and it’s like, it’s hard sometimes to look in the mirror and really have to realize, man, maybe you’re not the person that you necessarily thought that you were,” he said.</p>
<p id=”par-10_13″>Justin also noted that his faith journey has helped him learn self-forgiveness. </p>

<p id=”par-11_37″>It’s unclear why <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/does-justin-bieber-still-have-a-close-relationship-with-usher.html/”>Justin Bieber decided to unfollow Usher</a>. Justin was initially scouted at 13 years old by manager Scooter Braun before meeting Usher. Usher then helped launch Justin to fame by signing the teen to RBMG Records.</p>
<p id=”par-12_53″>“I’d heard about Justin through the grapevine because people were talking about him,” Usher said on Howard Stern in 2016, according to <a href=”https://metro.co.uk/2025/01/15/inside-justin-bieber-ushers-17-year-friendship-rumoured-fallout-22365043/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Metro</a>. “And I said to him, ‘Why don’t you set up a meeting between me and your manager? I’d love to meet with you and do this in a formal setting.’”</p>
<p id=”par-13_47″>Before Justin unfollowed Usher, there was no indication that the two had a falling out. However, the unfollow might have to do with <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/usher-said-hell-asked-let-kids-attend-diddys-parties.html/”>Usher’s close association with Sean “Diddy” Combs</a>. Justin likely wants to distance himself from anyone close to Combs as Combs’ court date looms. </p>
