Justin Bieber Prioritizing Family Life Amid Diddy’s Arrest, Source Shares
Justin Bieber is placing all his attention on fatherhood and family life, choosing to stay away from the chaos surrounding his friend and longtime collaborator, Sean “Diddy” Combs. According to a source close to the singer, Justin, 30, is dedicating his energy to his wife, Hailey Bieber, and their newborn son, Jack Blues Bieber, who arrived just last month.
“He’s aware of Diddy’s arrest and all the allegations,” the source shared, referencing Diddy’s September 16th arrest.
The 54-year-old rapper was taken into custody in New York City after being indicted on charges related to sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution.
According to the source close to Justin, the issue is not something the Sorry singer wants to focus on. Given that he has “been in a happy bubble since baby Jack was born,” the source added that “he just wants to focus on being a great dad and husband.”
Justin and Hailey, 27, became parents for the first time in August, and they couldn’t be more thrilled. The couple announced the birth of their baby boy, Jack Blues, on August 23rd, when Justin shared a sweet photo of the newborn’s tiny foot on Instagram, captioning it, “WELCOME HOME JACK BLUES BIEBER.”
A source close to the couple told PEOPLE that the pregnancy was “something that they very much wished and prayed for,” and that baby Jack is truly “a miracle” for them.
“The day Justin found out Hailey was pregnant was one of the best days of his life. He was over the moon with excitement. It was a big celebration for them,” the source revealed. “He’s already an amazing dad.”
While Justin is basking in his new role as a father, Diddy’s legal situation continues to unfold. Following his arrest, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams confirmed that Diddy had been taken into custody after a grand jury indictment. The next day, the charges against him were unsealed, revealing the serious accusations.
Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has strongly defended the music mogul, stating that he is an innocent man with nothing to hide.
In his words: “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person but he is not a criminal.”
