Hailey Bieber is getting honest about how stress is messing with her body, and it’s hitting at a time when life is anything but chill. The 28-year-old model, beauty mogul, and new mom just got candid on Instagram about her latest health battle, featuring a brutal perioral dermatitis flare-up, triggered by stress, travel, hormones, and more.
But behind the skincare reveal is a much bigger story attributed to the support of husband Justin Bieber, who’s facing major money issues after his split from longtime manager Scooter Braun.
Stress, Skin, and Social Media Confessions
In a series of raw Instagram Stories shared Thursday, Hailey posted a makeup-free selfie zoomed in on the red, irritated skin around her mouth and chin. “Perioral dermatitis flare,” she captioned the photo. “Always flares up when I’m traveling a lot, sleep deprived, hormones, the wrong SPF, new products, stress.”

The $1 Billion Sale and the Billion-Dollar Rumors
Speaking of her viral brand, Hailey’s health update comes just weeks after her headline-making $1 billion deal to sell Rhode to e.l.f. Cosmetics. That sale set the internet on fire, and so did rumors that her fortune would be used to bail out Justin financially.

Hailey’s team wasted no time shutting that down.
“The historic sale of Rhode is a huge accomplishment for Hailey and is completely separate from her husband and his business affairs,” her rep told DailyMail.com.
Justin’s Album
As Hailey dealt with skin flare-ups and business noise, Justin Bieber was making headlines of his own. He dropped “Swag,” his seventh studio album and the first since parting ways with Scooter Braun, the manager who helped launch his career but became the center of a messy financial and personal fallout.

With Braun reportedly owed over $30 million in back commissions and a settled financial agreement in place, Justin has emerged from the conflict with new creative freedom, and Hailey is by his side. She’s even responded to online trolls and praised his latest music while dropping subtle shade in Scooter’s direction.
When Justin canceled his Justice Tour in 2022, Braun’s HYBE helped cover a $26 million debt from AEG. According to TMZ, Justin initially agreed to repay it over 10 years, but payments reportedly stopped after the first installment.
