The couple is now working to salvage their relationship now that the singer has finally dropped his new album, Swag.

"The intense focus and emotional toll of creating new music had put a strain on their marriage," the source said about the duo. "When Justin is in the studio making new music, he gets completely consumed and shuts everything else out."

Justin secretly worked on the project without fans aware that a new album was on the way, after going since 2021 without putting out a fresh studio LP. He thrilled Beliebers on July 11 with the bombshell surprise release of Swag hours before it hit streaming services.

While working on the album during the first half of the year, Justin and Hailey looked miserable together on their few outings with one another. The Peaches singer concerned fans even more with disturbing and erratic social media posts about his mindset and mental health.
