JUSTIN and Hailey Bieber have only fueled already growing rumors that their marriage is in trouble.
Fans have been deciphering clues and looking for any hidden meanings and messages in their recent appearances.
Hailey, 27, and Justin, 30, celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in September, but there has long been speculation that their marriage is on the rocks.
However, the duo are reportedly desperate to stay together and are trying to work through their issues.
A source told The U.S. Sun, “Justin and Hailey are not separating but they have been going through a tough time.
“Divorce is not an option for them as it goes against their religious beliefs. They’re working on their marriage.”

The insider went on, “Nobody’s moved out, but occasionally they are spending time apart by staying with family and friends, but they are really keen to stay together.”
Still, there are growing signs of a disconnect between the two.
PUT A RING ON IT
Earlier this week, fans noted that Hailey stepped out in public without her wedding ring on.
The model was said to be out for dinner with Kylie Jenner and Justine Skye at the Japanese restaurant Yazawa on Sunday, April 7.
While she did have a huge diamond ring visible on her left hand, fans argued the ring looked different from the band originally given to her by her husband of six years.
“Doesn’t she always wear her wedding ring?” one person asked on Reddit.
“Hailey hasn’t taken that ring off since she put it on. There is no way on God’s green earth she took it off now to replace it with another one,” someone else replied. “Something is going on for real.”
CRUSHING IT
Justin has been notably spending more time on social media, praising other women – including a former crush.
The Baby hitmaker – who previously admitted to having a “crush” on Rihanna – shared his appreciation when the star posed in some sexy lingerie to show off her new Savage X Fenty designs.
In the clip, Rihanna, 36, wore pale green underwear as she rolled around in bed.

Chelsea started laughing, half in humor, and half in sympathy.
“Oh no!” the former talk show host exclaimed. “She’s 27, and she’s been married for five years, and she’s already over Valentine’s Day.”
