After he was brought out by R&B star Tems at Coachella Justin was seen cosying up with his wife Hailey Bieber. A video of him stroking Hailey's head while they watched Lana Del Rey perform went viral on TikTok and Justin even shared it to his Instagram. That was one of his last posts before his latest Instagram spree.

Being the ever supportive wife, Hailey commented under the post of him crying but what she said wasn't expected. So what's happened to Justin Bieber? Here's what we know.

Why was Justin Bieber crying in recent post?

Justin hasn't personally revealed why he was crying in a recent IG post but insiders have said it was a reaction to being overcome with emotion through prayer. They said it was an act of vulnerability that Justin finds "beautiful".

Speaking to the Daily Mail, a source said: "Justin wears his emotions on his sleeve and it is no secret that he is very religious,' 'The pictures he put up of him crying may have prompted fans to question his wellbeing, and whether his marriage is on the rocks – but it was about his love of Jesus.

"It is deep, but he prays and often sheds tears after diving into his faith and though he prays and gives thanks for all that he has in his life, he gets carried away and the emotions that come from it all are released through tears."  

They went on: "He is not ashamed or embarrassed as he wants people to see his emotions. It helps him out for all that he goes through."

At the time his wife Hailey commented underneath, "a pretty crier" which led us to believe it was nothing too serious as we'd expect a more alarmed reaction - or none at all - if Justin was crying about something major.

In the pic where he was crying he's wearing a green bucket hat which he is seen wearing in another post but in that post he has a huge smile on his face.

Naturally, many theories emerged about why the 'Sorry' singer was in tears but none of them seem to have uncovered the truth.

Nearly ten days before the post, Justin's friend Chris King had passed. Chris was a rapper and Justin's ex-roommate who was sadly shot.

After the incident, Justin took to his IG story on April 20th to say: "Love you bro. This one hurts." Leading fans to believe the sad selfies were taken after reflecting on the death of his dear friend.

Other commenters suggested his tears were a result of his smoking habits which he alluded to in the post as well. There were also suggestions that it's about him and Hailey splitting, which is a pretty tired narrative.

It seems JB is perfectly fine and just very in touch with his faith. Insiders have said that Justin "feels that people should be vulnerable, and he is being vulnerable.

"He believes it shows some maturity that he once didn't have. In a word, he thinks it is beautiful."
