Justin Bieber is striving to block out the escalating speculation surrounding his relationship with Sean 'Diddy' Combs while focusing on his new role as a first-time father.
However, sources close to the singer reveal that he is increasingly stressed under the weight of the situation.
Diddy was recently arrested in New York and indicted on serious charges of coercion and abuse, sparking intense scrutiny on his past connections, including his once-close bond with Bieber.
Troubling videos have resurfaced online, showing a 15-year-old Bieber spending "48 hours with Diddy" and partying together, which has only added fuel to the fire.
Bieber who recently welcomed his son Jack with wife Hailey has yet to address the controversy publicly. Fans have expressed concerns about his health, noting his visibly "thin" appearance.
Sources tell DailyMail.com that Bieber feels isolated in the wake of the Diddy revelations, believing he has no one to confide in and feeling as though he is "sailing these waters alone."
Sources close to Justin Bieber reveal that he feels isolated and confused amidst the turmoil surrounding his relationship with Sean Combs.
"Justin feels like there is no one that he can talk to that understands, and to be honest, he doesn't even fully understand," an insider explained. "He was a kid back then."
The fallout comes as Bieber grapples with the pressures of fatherhood, especially considering he didn't have the best example from his own father, Jeremy Bieber. "Justin is stressed right now," the source continued.
"He has a baby boy and is trying to be a good dad without any reference for what that looks like."
As the 30-year-old singer navigates these challenges, concerns grow that if his wife Hailey struggles with being a first-time mom, it could add to his difficulties. "He is sailing these waters alone," the insider added.
"Everyone fears that if Hailey shows any struggles with being a first-time mom, this will be incredibly difficult for Justin."
