Justin Bieber And Hailey Baldwin Admit They Were Celibate Until Marriage

Justin Bieber And Hailey Baldwin Admit They Were Celibate Until Marriage

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are five months into married life, and the couple got candid about the struggles that come with being newlyweds. 

In a cover story for Vogue US, Bieber and Baldwin discuss Justin's celibacy and sex addiction, as well as how they overcame obstacles of marriage in the public eye.

"The thing is, marriage is very hard," Hailey told the publication. "That is the sentence you should lead with. It’s really effing hard." Hailey admits to feeling lonely and homesick during the first weeks of the couple's marriage, but admits to 'praying it out.' 

"I prayed to feel peace about the decision, and that’s where I landed,” she explains. “I love him very much. I have loved him for a long time.”

The couple rekindled in June after briefly dating three years prior. “Fizzled would not be the right word—it was more like a very dramatic excommunication," Hailey said. "There was a period where if I walked into a room, he would walk out.”

It was their spirituality that brought them back together, running into each other at a conference in Miami hosted by celebrity pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr. Hailey and Justin wed three months later, with photographs of the two walking inside a New York City courthouse leaked. 

The pop star admits to having had a "legitimate problem with sex", so he decided to abstain to become closer to God. “He doesn’t ask us not to have sex for him because he wants rules and stuff,” Justin explains. “He’s like, I’m trying to protect you from hurt and pain. I think sex can cause a lot of pain." 

"Sometimes people have sex because they don’t feel good enough. Because they lack self-worth. Women do that, and guys do that."

Was gonna wait a while to say anything but word travels fast, listen plain and simple Hailey I am soooo in love with everything about you! So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of you loving you patiently and kindLY. I promise to lead our family with honor and integrity letting Jesus through his Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do and every decision we make. My heart is COMPLETELY and FULLY YOURS and I will ALWAYS put you first! You are the love of my life Hailey Baldwin and I wouldn't want to spend it with anybody else. You make me so much better and we compliment eachother so well!! Can't wait for the best season of life yet!. It's funny because now with you everything seems to make sense! The thing I am most excited for is that my little brother and sister get to see another healthy stable marriage and look for the same!!! Gods timing really is literally perfect, we got engaged on the seventh day of the seventh month, the number seven is the number of spiritual perfection, it's true GOOGLE IT! Isn't that nuts? By the way I didn't plan that, anyways My goodness does feel good to have our future secured! WERE GONNA BE BETTER AT 70 BABY HERE WE GO! "He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains FAVOR from the Lord!" This is the year of favor!!!!

"I wanted to rededicate myself to God in that way because I really felt it was better for the condition of my soul," Justin continued. "And I believe that God blessed me with Hailey as a result. There are perks. You get rewarded for good behaviour.”

"When I saw her last June, I just forgot how much I loved her and how much I missed her and how much of a positive impact she made on my life," he adds. "I was like, Holy cow, this is what I’ve been looking for.”
