Why Justin Bieber Had “Emotional Breakdown” After Marrying Hailey

Life is good for Justin Bieber.

He just released his new single “Honest,” he and Hailey Bieber are happily married and he’s in the middle of his Justice World Tour. But getting to this place took some time, and the singer opened up about his path during the May 2 episode of The Ebro Show.

“It’s a journey,” Justin, 28, said. “I mean, 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. It just kind of was a reflection of, like, ‘You’re a bit of a hypocrite man. Like, you want your wife to do something that you’re not doing.’ And it’s like, I mean, 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.’ And, you know that’s just the result of trauma and life circumstances.”
