“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,” Justin shared on The Ebro Show in the spring of 2022. “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.'”
In early 2019, he sought out-patient treatment for depression, a source telling E! News at the time that Hailey was serving as “the rock” for him and “doing whatever she can to help.”
Amid her stated efforts to be more in touch with her emotions, she posted on Instagram that January that she was working on being “more vulnerable.”
And, she wrote, “The truth is no matter how amazing life may look from the outside I struggle…I’m insecure, I’m fragile, I’m hurting, I have fears, I have doubts, I have anxiety, I get sad, I get angry.”
