EXCLUSIVE: JUSTIN & HAILEY BIEBER LIVING SEPARATELY — “TROUBLE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS."
PLUS: JOE JONAS HAS BEEN DATING FOR MONTHS. SCARLETT JOHANSSON DEFENDS JUSTIN BALDONI
According to multiple sources close to the couple, Justin and Hailey have quietly been staying in different homes for several weeks, sparking renewed speculation about the state of their marriage.
“Things are bad,” one insider confirms. “They love each other, but they’ve been dealing with a lot — from Justin’s financial stress to Hailey’s growing independence.”
As #ShuterScoop previously reported, Justin is facing serious money trouble, including millions owed to Scooter Braun’s company Hybe and a stalled music career. Meanwhile, Hailey has been laser-focused on her beauty brand, Rhode, and spending increasing time in L.A and NYC.
“They’ve hit a rough patch,” says a friend of the couple. “Justin’s been struggling emotionally, and Hailey’s trying to protect her peace. That’s why they’ve been spending time apart — it’s space, not necessarily a split. Yet.”
Though the two still appear together on social media from time to time, fans have noticed the lack of couple content, and Hailey has recently been spotted attending events solo — fueling speculation.
“They’re trying to figure things out privately,” another source adds. “But make no mistake: this isn’t just a ‘busy schedule’ situation. It’s deeper.”
So, is divorce on the table?
“Not right now,” says the insider. “But they’re no longer under the same roof — and that’s a big deal.”

JOE JONAS HAS BEEN DATING FOR MONTHS — “HE’S SEEN SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE,” SAYS SOURCE
Joe Jonas may be keeping things low-key, but insiders tell #ShuterScoop the pop star has been quietly dating for months — and it hasn’t just been one person.
“He’s been seeing several different people,” a source close to Jonas confirms. “Nothing super serious, just casual dating. He’s keeping it light and figuring out what he wants next.”
The 34-year-old singer, who finalized his divorce from Sophie Turner in 2023, has been spotted with a few different women since the split — including model Stormi Bree, with whom he shared romantic getaways in Mexico and Australia, and actress Laila Abdallah, who was seen getting cozy with Joe in Athens.
Now, Jonas has been spotted back in New York City, grabbing drinks with a mystery brunette at East Village hotspot Schmuck.
According to eyewitnesses, the pair were “locked in conversation” for three hours, but sources stress it’s just another casual connection in a string of flings.
“Joe doesn’t want to be single forever,” says a music industry insider. “But he’s also not jumping into anything. He’s dating around, enjoying himself, and keeping things drama-free.”
The source adds: “He’s been through a lot emotionally. Right now, he’s just enjoying being Joe again — no pressure, no labels.”

SCARLETT JOHANSSON DEFENDS JUSTIN BALDONI
Scarlett Johansson could’ve shut it down — but she didn’t.
Despite the ongoing legal war between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively (who’s now married to Johansson’s ex-husband, Ryan Reynolds), Scarlett made no effort to avoid Baldoni’s name in her Vanity Fair cover story. In fact, she defended him.
“She had every right to put Justin on the no-go list — and she didn’t,” a Hollywood insider tells #ShuterScoop. “That speaks volumes.”
When Baldoni’s name came up during the interview — in connection to Eleanor the Great, Johansson’s upcoming directorial debut backed by his company, Wayfarer Studios — the Oscar-nominated actress reportedly let out a “loud, knowing laugh” before saying:
“They were super supportive throughout the process… but yeah, such weird timing.”
While the comment was light, the underlying message was clear: she’s not distancing herself from Baldoni, despite his explosive $400 million countersuit against Lively, Reynolds, and their team.
“Scarlett didn’t throw him under the bus,” the source adds. “In fact, she went out of her way to praise his company, even as his world burns down.”
Given her ex’s direct involvement in the case — and Taylor Swift now fighting a subpoena — many assumed Johansson would avoid even mentioning Baldoni. But instead, she stayed gracious.
“She knew it would raise eyebrows,” the source says. “But she stuck to the truth: he supported her film.”
In Hollywood, silence can be shady — and speaking up can say everything.
