This year has been pretty scary for Justin and Hailey Bieber. Back in March, Hailey suffered a mini-stroke caused by a blood clot in her brain. Three months later, Justin announced he has been battling Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (RHS) after postponing three of his Justice World Tour dates. A source recently revealed that Justin and Hailey’s health scares have shown the couple is a “great team.”
“Between Hailey’s health scare earlier this year and now [Justin’s diagnosis], it’s a lot for them. Hailey is worried as well,” the source told People. “Just like Justin did everything he could to take care of Hailey, she now does the same for him. They are a great team and will get through it together. Justin can’t wait to recover and continue working,” the source continued.
On June 10, Justin posted a video on Instagram letting fans know about his diagnosis. He informed his followers that he was diagnosed with RHS, a rare neurological disorder caused by the varicella-zoster virus (AKA the chicken pox virus), which can reactivate years after being dormant and spread to the facial nerves. As a result, the singer currently has partial facial paralysis.
Even though Justin is reportedly “very worried” about the side effects of RHS, the insider added that according to Justin’s doctor, permanent issues are rare. “He was diagnosed early though and hoping he will be fully recovered in a few weeks.”
Shortly after Justin posted the video, Hailey showed her love by reposting it to her Instagram Story.
When Hailey had her health scare, Justin showed her the same love and support. “Life randomly throws you curveballs. We can’t really control much… Obviously, you guys know [or] most of you probably know or seen the news about my wife,” Justin told the crowd at his Denver concert on March 15. “It’s been really scary, but I know for a fact that God has her in the palm of his hands. And that’s a good thing,” he added.
Things may be scary for Justin and Hailey Bieber now, but everyone knows they’re an excellent team and can handle anything.
