Justin Bieber was pictured grabbing dinner with wife Hailey on Friday, amid growing concern for the couple’s marriage and his health.
The Baby singer, 31, and the Rhode founder, 28, enjoyed a bite to eat at Sushi Park in West Hollywood, hours after his ex Selena Gomez ‘shaded’ him on her new album.
Justin — who recently sparked concern with posts about feeling as if he was drowning and unsafe — ditched his recent unkempt appearance, and wore an oversized white button-up shirt, black pants, and unique white textured slippers for the outing.
He went clean-shaven for the date, after shaving off the mustache that he had in a recent video of him smoking a blunt that furthered fan concern.
Meanwhile the model looked chic in a khaki jacket with a white t-shirt, black flares, and black heels. At one point Justin raised his cellphone to his face and appeared to be talking to someone as Hailey looked on.
Speculation over Bieber’s health has been mounting in recent months, after the singer stepped out looking hollow-eyed and in bizarre outfits, leading his representative to issue a statement denying he was on hard drugs.

It comes after the singer recently looked downcast on a trip to the Disneyland with Hailey, in another tense outing.
Meanwhile Justin’s ex Selena, 32, released her new album, I Said I Love You First, on Friday and it took fans only a few hours to start looking for hidden messages behind the lyrics, not about her and fiancé Benny Blanco, but about Justin.
Some believe the track, How Does It Feel to be Forgotten, was targeted toward her former flame.
Lyrics from the song go ‘You’re so embarrassing / Go cry when no one’s watchin’ / I can’t imagine it / How does it feel to be forgotten (Ah), forgotten? (Ah-ah).’
In another phrase the Emilia Perez actress, sings, ‘Cause you walked in, big-a** grin / Talkin’ like we’re friends, honey, what were you thinkin’? / He loves me, I love him / Look at you, just look at you now.’
According to the website Genius.com, which breaks down lyrics, one contributor found the words ‘Look at you, just look at you now,’ are very similar to her 2020 track Look at Her Now, which were believed to be about her 2018 breakup with Bieber.
After listening to another song, You Said You Were Sorry, fans seem to believe could be aimed at Bieber as well.
‘Don’t think about you/Happy without you/More now than I ever was’ the former Disney star sang about an unnamed ex.
‘But I had a dream/You said you were sorry, said you were sorry/Sorry for everything/That you put on me, that you put on me,’ she said in the chorus.

Earlier this month on March 1, the singer celebrated his 31st birthday and uploaded an assortment of pictures to Instagram, including one as both he and Hailey held their son Jack.
Another image showed the model as she sweetly wrapped her arms around her husband as they seemingly sang karaoke.
A few days later, he sparked concern among fans once again when he shared photos of himself smoking from what appeared to be a bong.
In photos shared to Instagram, the star could be seen sitting on an e-bike as the track titled Hits From The Bong by Cypress Hill played in the background.
Late last month, Justin’s rep addressed worries over his disheveled appearance in a statement to TMZ.
‘The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true,’ the rep said, adding that the performer is currently ‘in one of the best places in his life.’
The star is also ‘actively parenting his newborn son’ Jack with wife Hailey and putting focus into making new music.
‘Justin already has so much success behind him, he is comfortable, he doesn’t need to prove anything. She is the leader and he doesn’t mind following her,’ a source told DailyMail.com
Another source informed Us Weekly late last month that, ‘Hailey is trying to be as supportive as possible. It can be hard for Hailey, but she’s always there for him and is understanding’

According to the rep, Justin has had a ‘very transformative’ year and ‘ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.’
Speculation about his appearance and marriage is ‘exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.’
A source recently told DailyMail.com that while Hailey tends to ‘work all the time ,’ the singer instead prefers to ‘chill with friends’ and is more ’emotional and leads with his heart.’
The insider further explained that, ‘He is always working on music and toying with new ideas, he always has a guitar in his hand, he is super creative, but he does not work as much as she does.’
