Hailey has subtly shut down the break-up speculation in TikToks, while Justin sang about the alleged marriage struggles and his bouts with mental health issues on his album Swag, which came out in July. In the song Walking Away, Justin sings, “Girl, we better stop before we say some s**t / We’ve been testing our patience / I think we better off if we just take a break.” But some of the lyrics proved that the pair — who welcomed son Jack Blue in August 2024 — are still very much in love. “Baby, I ain’t walking away / You were my diamond / Gave you a ring / I made you a promise / I told you, ‘I’d change’ / It’s just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain’t walking away,” he also sings in Walking Away.
