Justin Bieber says he’s regained his ‘Swag’, but personal demons still haunt him: insiders

Justin Bieber claims to have regained his “Swag” with his new album, but sources warn he may not have as much braggadocio as he makes out.
Despite the surprise new album, released July 11, and accompanying photoshoot of Justin Bieber, his wife Hailey and their 11-month-old son Jack Blues dripping with attitude, sources say below the surface things may not be as smooth as he makes out.
They point to fights with paparazzi, apparent bickering between the spouses online, Bieber’s erratic behavior and fears he could spiral back into drugs in the months before the album’s release.
“[He] doesn’t particularly handle [fame] well,” a source close to he singer told Page Six, suggesting personal demons haunt the pop star and his young family.
“Imagine being 14 and famous and people either love you for no reason just because you’re who you are, or they hate you? There’s not a lot of in between. A lot of people wouldn’t deal well with that to begin with. It breaks a lot of people. I’m concerned about him,” the source close to Justin said.
A second source, a celebrity insider, told Page Six, “He still has underlying issues.”
Four years on from his last album, “Justice,” and crashing out of a world tour with health concerns in 2022, new father Bieber seems to have mellowed on his new album.
The 31-year-old “All I Can Take” singer even includes three different skits with comedian Druski, including one called “therapy sessions” where they discuss his public image.
“What’s been a tough thing for me recently, is feeling like I have had to go through a lot of my struggles as a human, as all of us do, really publicly,” he says in the skit where Druski plays his ‘counselor’.
“And so people are always asking if I’m OK, and that starts to really weigh on me. It starts to make me feel like I’m the one with the issues and everyone else is perfect.”
The source familiar with Justin told Page Sixhis social media posts leading up to the album drop match up with him feeling a little lost and lashing out.
“If you have a friend and they’re posting [like that] – I can tell he’s angry just by looking at his posts.
“He has mood swings – he’s kind of an extreme personality in that sense,” the source said.
He also addresses marital issues with Hailey, who he married in 2018, on the album. In the song, “Walking Away,” Bieber sings: “Days go by so fast, don’t wanna spend them with you / So tell me why you’re throwing stones at my back / You know I’m defenseless.
“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.”
The pair have been careful about sheltering Jack Blues from the public eye, leaving some puzzled by Justin’s decision to include him in the album art, albeit hiding his face – especially given how Bieber has been open about being exposed to too much, too young previously.
“He obviously wants to protect his kid. But it’s like ‘Oh we want privacy’ then they put the kid on album covers and books,” the celebrity insider told Page Six.
One of the biggest changes of Bieber’s entire career has happened since his last album when he parted ways with manager Scooter Braun in 2023, leaving behind the man who took him from a teenage YouTube busker in Ontario, Canada, to global phenomenon.
Braun, who has since retired from management, has been full of praise for the singer’s seventh studio album as “the most authentically Justin Bieber album to date.”
“He poured his soul into this project, and you can feel it in every single run,” Braun wrote on social media, noting he played no role in the album and encouraging others to “stream ‘Swag’ and support an authentic voice.”
Bieber’s relationship with Braun was rumored to be strained after it emerged he owed a settlement of $31 million to him, after he bailed him out from having to pay back debt accumulated from the canceled 2022 “Justice” tour.
The singer canceled the tour after developing facial paralysis from Ramsay Hunt syndrome. On July 10, he and Braun reached a settlement agreement to pay back the money owed to Braun’s Hybe company, TMZ reported.
Neither Bieber or Braun returned Page Six’s request for comment.
Meanwhile, the family’s finances are in great shape thanks to Hailey’s Rhode beauty brand, which struck a $1 billion deal with e.l.f. Cosmetics, including $800m in cash upfront and a further $200 as the brand develops, according to multiple sources.
Although Hailey denied helping with her husband’s settlement, with a source telling the Daily Mail, Rhode is “completely separate from her husband and his business affairs.”
Sources say it’s unclear if Bieber will actually tour in support of the new album, amid the global expansion of Hailey’s beauty company, which saw them take a whirlwind trip to Europe right after “Swag” was released – usually a critical time for artists to promote their releases.
The whole family were spotted in Mallorca, Spain, where Rhode had a pop-up-shop and then in Switzerland and Italy.
Those close to him, feel Bieber should take the stage again – as its one of the places he gets to feel most validated.
“He needs to perform,” the celebrity insider said.
“What is his game plan? He’s going to have to figure out what’s next, unless he wants to be a stay-at-home dad while his wife is running her billion-dollar company,” the celebrity insider said.
Hailey, for her part, had some fun with the release sharing a photo repost on social media of a billboard promoting the album, captioned “Is it finally clocking to you f–king losers?” — a quoting a line from Justin’s recent viral rant at the paparazzi.
The first source said Justin at least has the solid ground around him as he navigates the demands of fame and family together.
“It breaks a lot of people. You have to have a very strong support system.”

Oprah’s Roomy Cargo Pants Are a Go-To Fall Style
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/oprahs-big-pocket-cargo-pants-5a1e945a3e654a8596b7bc3da4cbbd18.jpg)
Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
Oprah Winfrey is committed to cargo pants, so it’s obvious I have to break up with my boring pocketless pants as soon as possible.
Last fall in New York City, the media mogul wore a pair of big-pocket pants (a style she’s worn before) that prompted a light-bulb realization: I fear I have not given cargos a fighting chance. And for what? Boring pants that only have hidden pockets, or, in many cases, faux ones that can’t even stash a phone.
Not long before Oprah showed off her brown cargos, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a navy blue pair with a cropped trench coat. That gives me another reason to feel confident about trying this offbeat pants style.

The rest of Oprah’s look was grand, too: Her purple sweater was ideal for fall thanks to its three-quarter sleeves, plus her comfy sneakers finished it with polished comfort (she also wore heels with the outfit at another point in the day, but let’s keep it casual). We rounded up similar big-pocket pants, sweaters, and kicks inspired by the TV icon.

When I use regular pockets, I’m super careful because, most of the time, they’re not deep enough, so things tend to fall out when I’m sitting. In other words, they’re not that secure, and that’s why I’m picking out pants with pockets that have more room or more compartments.
These from Amazon are “very durable” and “silky” to the touch, per the reviews. Also, according to one shopper who wore them while hiking, “The pockets were big enough to hold my phone and Chapstick, so I didn’t have to carry a big bag.” They also have drawstring cuffs, so you can tie them up if you don’t want to dirty them when walking around outdoors.
Liyohon Turtleneck Top
Amazon
I can’t stand feeling like an overstuffed burrito with a thick sweater packed into an even thicker coat in the fall or winter. So, I usually choose thinner layers, but I want them to keep me at least a little warm. This turtleneck “feels more like a light sweater than a T-shirt,” according to one shopper, and it has been worn under dresses and blazers, per many others.
The purple shade here is a little lighter than Oprah’s, but the three-quarter-length sleeves are, in my opinion, the most important thing to focus on here.
Somiliss Leather Suede Patchwork Sneakers

Oprah also pulled a sneaky move when she did a little shoe change. We don’t know which pair came first — heels or sneakers — but I personally am a “go comfortable or go home” shoe gal, so I’m choosing option B.
In my book, suede makes anything more fall-worthy, but it can be tricky on shoes. I don’t want to have to spritz a protectant spray all over, so a pair with just a little bit of the soft texture feels easier to manage long term. The soles on these look serrated like Oprah’s, which make me believe that they’d be incredibly grippy.

Karlie Kloss welcomes third baby with husband Joshua Kushner

Karlie Kloss’ brood just got bigger.
The model has given birth to her and husband Joshua Kushner’s third baby — a girl. Kushner announced the news via Instagram Saturday by posting a photo of the newborn and revealing her name: “Rae Florence 9.18.2025 🤍.”
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel announced her pregnancy news in a March Instagram post debuting her bump.
“Three’s a party 🥹🫶🎉,” Kloss wrote at the time.
The caption referenced her and Kushner’s eldest two children — sons Levi and Elijah — who appeared in the social media upload.
Levi was born in March 2021, followed by Elijah in July 2023.
While awaiting baby No. 3, Kloss continued to show off her budding belly at the Met Gala, WNBA games and more events.
She rocked a black off-the-shoulder gown to ring in Kushner’s 40th birthday at a star-studded bash in June.
“I have loved growing up together, and can’t wait to grow old together,” Kloss captioned a celebratory tribute to the “love of [her] life and best friend” via Instagram.
The Kode With Klossy founder and Kushner have been together since 2012.
The businessman got down on one knee in July 2018, and the duo walked down the aisle in upstate New York three months post-proposal.
The duo went on to have a second wedding ceremony in Wyoming in 2019.
Although the pair primarily keep their romance out of the public eye over the years, Kloss insisted to Net-a-Porter in 2018 that they “have nothing to hide.”
In May, she explained to “Aspire” podcast listeners that their “partnership is so solid” because they met when she was a teenager.
“We’ve grown up together,” Kloss gushed. “He’s always been my biggest champion.”

Prince Harry Made Secret Visit to Another Member of Royal Family During U.K. Trip

NEED TO KNOW
- Prince Harry’s four-day visit to the U.K. included a secret visit to another member of the royal family
- According to Hello!, Harry visited Kensington Palace to pay his respects to Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, following the death of his wife, Katharine, the Duchess of Kent
- Harry “loved catching up with family, friends and colleagues” during his trip to Britain, a source said
Prince Harry’s four-day visit to the U.K. included a reunion with his father, King Charles, after nearly two years, as well as a secret visit to another member of the royal family.
According to a report from Hello! published on Saturday, Sept. 20, Harry, 41, privately visited Kensington Palace to “personally pay his respects and offer condolences” to Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, following the death of his wife, Katharine, the Duchess of Kent. She died on Sept. 4 at the age of 92.
Although Harry was not able to attend Katharine’s funeral on Sept. 16, as he had already left the U.K., a source close to the Duke of Sussex told the outlet that he “loved catching up with family, friends and colleagues.”
“His only regret was not being able to stay longer and see more people, but the meetings in Ukraine had been in the diary for a long time, and it mattered to him to be there in person to see the Invictus Games Foundation’s growing work and the progress at Superhumans,” the source added.
“The whole trip felt like a real success for everyone involved,” the source said. “His passion for his patronages and the causes he cares about hasn’t dimmed one bit — he’s already buzzing to get back and do more.”

The Duke of Sussex made several public appearances during his U.K. trip, including at the WellChild Awards in London on Sept. 8, where he crouched to greet children, wrapped families in hugs and cracked jokes. In Nottingham the next day, he danced into a room at the Community Recording Studio (CRS), laughing and bantering with young activists.
“He’s still the same person,” said CRS’s Trevor Rose. “He wants to feel the energy here. He cares — and that’s the main thing.”

One of the most newsworthy moments came when Harry arrived at Clarence House on Sept. 10, and disappeared inside for a long-awaited, private meeting with King Charles. He emerged just under one hour later — and experts were quick to point out that this visit could be the first step on the road to reconciliation with his father.
“It’s a massive step in the right direction,” Queen Elizabeth’s former spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson told PEOPLE following the historic meeting. “It’s a building of trust.”

Harry and the King, 76, have been estranged for more than 18 months. As PEOPLE previously reported, the meeting not only served as a chance for the Duke of Sussex to rekindle his relationship with his father, but also with his brother, Prince William.
While the encounter marked a hopeful step forward, royal insiders caution that a long road lies ahead before full reconciliation can take place.
“It shows the way forward,” an insider with ties to both sides told PEOPLE. “It is a good starting point.”
Just a few days after the meeting, Harry made a surprise visit to Kyiv, Ukraine, with his Invictus Games Foundation and spoke with The Guardian while there.
“The focus really has to be on my dad,” he said, while also acknowledging his past revelations in interviews and his memoir Spare. “My conscience is clear.”
When asked if he will ever bring his children to the U.K. despite his security concerns, Harry told the outlet, “Yes, I would. This week has definitely brought that closer.”
“Whatever has gone on in the past, it is good to see the family trying to repair itself or communicate at least,” a source with close ties to the palace added to PEOPLE. “Everyone has to have compassion for all sides.”
After visiting the U.K. and Ukraine, Harry returned to Montecito, Calif., to be with wife Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. On Saturday, Sept. 20, Meghan, 44, and Harry stepped out together to the One805LIVE! concert, which supports Santa Barbara County’s first responders and was held at Kevin Costner‘s oceanside estate in California.
