​In 2010, Russell Brand and Katy Perry expressed their admiration for Justin Bieber and joked that they wanted to have their own “Justin Bieber”.

“We can’t really have him because he’s busy with work,” Russell said humorously. “I understand that he reproduces by laying eggs in the ocean and then we can fertilize those eggs and have our own Justin Biebers. We can grow Justin Biebers in a jar like sea monkeys.” ​

At the same time, Justin Bieber, then 16, developed a close relationship with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who described himself as Bieber’s “big brother”.

In a 2010 interview on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’, Diddy joked that Bieber knew better than to talk about their shared activities: “He knows better than to talk about what big brother Puff does for him on national television. Not everything is for everyone!”

These comments have recently been revisited in the context of Diddy facing serious allegations of sex trafficking and extortion. Old videos showing Diddy warning Bieber not to talk about their time together have drawn renewed attention and raised questions about the true nature of their relationship. ​

These events highlight how past relationships and statements can be viewed differently in light of new information.

The REAL reason Justin Bieber is smiling again after ‘cry for help’ livestream

Amid rumors surrounding his well-being and ‘troubled’ marriage to Hailey Bieber, Justin Bieber was seen cracking a rare smile while out in Palm Springs this week.

The two-time Grammy winner, 31, was spotted grabbing a to-go drink with his entourage at The Vintage Coffee House in the celeb-loved desert city on Monday.

Justin, who looked well rested and jovial, erupted in laughter as he made his way to a nearby Range Rover vehicle.

The display was a stark contrast to Justin’s hollow-eyed appearance and bizarre antics over the last few months, which included a stirring Instagram livestream that many fans took as a ‘cry for help.’

But Justin appears to have gotten his spark back as a source exclusively told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that he and his ‘ride or die’ Hailey are actively working to save their marriage.

The insider also dished that Hailey is ‘up for the challenge’ and ready to provide the ‘consistency’ that Justin so desperately needs right now.

‘The best case scenario for them is to be together. Justin needs consistency, Justin needs his ride or die and Hailey is always up for the challenge,’ they explained.

‘She loves Justin with such fever that sometimes it looks like he is taking her for granted, but this recent united front is not just to slow down the rumors, they are actively working on their relationship and being happy, especially with each other is the best medicine.’

DailyMail.com’s exclusive source continued: ‘They’re parents now and sometimes couples don’t focus on being a couple again, that is what they are doing now as they want to make their relationship work.

‘They want to be happy. They aren’t going to let a good go easy.’

The couple’s recent united front, which has come in the form of frequent outings around Los Angeles, is said to be proof of their commitment to one another.

‘These recent outings have been a blessing in disguise, and they look forward to continuing it together for the foreseeable future. They are putting in the work.’

Justin seemingly arrived in sunny Palms Springs over the weekend as he was seen leaving a different cafe in the area on Sunday afternoon.

Fans of Justin are convinced that Bieber is in Palm Springs this week because he’s planning to make a surprise Coachella appearance.

Weekend one of the Coachella Valley music festival kicks off Friday and runs through Sunday with Lady Gaga, Green Day and Post Malone serving as headliners.

While Bieber has never headlined the festival, he has performed as a special guest at Coachella four times in the past.

At the 2024 festival, Justin came out for a short performance alongside singer-songwriter Tems during her highly-anticipated set in Indio, California.

It marked Justin’s first stage performance in nearly two years after suffering temporary facial paralysis from Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2022.

He was joined by WizKid as they perform their hit song Essence for the thousands in attendance.

Justin appears to have gotten his spark back as a source exclusively told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that he and his ‘ride or die’ Hailey are actively working to save their marriage

Several of Justin’s musical collaborators and pals — including Post Malone and Zedd — are set to perform this weekend, giving him ample opportunity for a cameo.

Missing from Monday’s coffee run in Palm Springs was Justin’s wife Hailey.

However, the model, 28, has also been a Coachella regular for over a decade.

Along with being a recurring A-list guest at the festival, she’s also used the desert grounds to promote her popular beauty brand Rhode in recent years.

In 2024, Hailey and Rhode hosted an exclusive pop-up at Revolve Festival, which is an invite-only event held during Coachella weekend one.

While Justin and Hailey may be spending some time apart this week, the couple have recently been putting on a united front amid speculation their marriage is on the rocks.

Over the weekend, Justin and Hailey walked arm-in-arm as they enjoyed a day out together in Culver City with their baby son Jack, who was born in August 2024.

They looked totally content as they browsed shops in the area before grabbing an intimate dinner together on Saturday, April 6.

Earlier that same day, the duo shared a rare photos of their eight-month-old son to their respective Instagram accounts.

Justin and Hailey were also seen looking jovial as they met up with friends  for ice cream in Los Angeles on Friday, April 5.

Their love-up LA outings came shortly after it emerged that close friends and loved ones have gone so far as to suggest marriage counseling for the couple.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, an insider revealed that the Rhode Beauty founder ‘craves the Justin she fell in love with.’

‘The way their relationship is now, they both know it could be better. It is not as bad as some are saying but it is strained,’ they said. ‘Friends have suggested counseling.’

‘The best case scenario for them is to be together. Justin needs consistency, Justin needs his ride or die and Hailey is always up for the challenge,’ DailyMail.com’s source shared Tuesday

The couple, who tied the knot in September 2018, appeared to be the picture of marital bliss after welcoming their first child together.

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 photographed 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.’

A fan called Justin’s recent troubling livestream, which saw him looking gaunt and hollow-eyed, a ‘cry for help’

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.

The couple, who wed in 2018, welcomed their son Jack Blues last August

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’.
