Justin Bieber’s mental health (and his marriage to Hailey) has been a big source of speculation this week following the crying selfie he uploaded to socials with no explanation. Now, a new report says the singer is turning to his religion to help him through this difficult time.

Speaking to Daily Mail, a source said Justin shared the controversial selfie after being moved following prayer, emphasizing it’s not a sign of discord between him and his wife of five years.

“Justin wears his emotions on his sleeve, and it is no secret that he is very religious. The pictures he put up of him crying may have prompted fans to question his well-being, and whether his marriage is on the rocks – but it was about his love of Jesus,” the source said.

“It is deep, but he prays and often sheds tears after diving into his faith and though he prays and gives thanks for all that he has in his life, he gets carried away and the emotions that come from it all are released through tears,” they continued.

As for why he shared the intimate photo, the source said Justin wants fans to see the raw him and isn’t shy of his emotions.

“He is not ashamed or embarrassed as he wants people to see his emotions. It helps him out for all that he goes through,” they said.

Reports Say Justin’s Mental Health Is Suffering

While Justin’s selfie may not have been an indication of how his mental health is doing, reports continue to circulate saying the singer is struggling. "Justin has been facing some difficulties lately. He has been having a hard time and hasn't been feeling like his usual self," a source told Entertainment Tonight.

Still, the source said the problem isn’t his marriage to Hailey, and the model is being supportive through her husband’s struggles.

“Hailey has been doing her best to be there for Justin, but it is upsetting for her to see him struggle," they continued. "They are doing their best to make things work and be supportive of each other. They are committed to doing whatever it takes to make things better."

In the past, Justin has candidly discussed his battles with mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, as well as his past struggles with substance abuse.

Additionally, he’s been open about his various health diagnoses, one of which is Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a rare neurological condition that resulted in paralysis on one side of Justin's face.

Hailey and Justin so far haven’t commented on the reports about his mental health or given an official reason for his crying selfie. But following her father’s plea for prayers for the couple, coupled by several hints fans are convinced they’ve seen online, speculation about the couple’s marriage continues to run rampant.
