Justin Bieber seeks refuge from the world in Mallorca: where does he live and what brought him there?

BarcelonaIf you have seen a video of Justin Bieber leaving the Louis Vuitton store on Passeig de Gràcia these days on TikTok, I hear you say it was a joke of one of his look-alikes. Despite the displeasure of many fans who thought they might find him among them. rooftop from Barcelona this week, things won't go that way because the artist isn't in the city. However, it must be said that the original isn't far from the copy because – as he himself has explained on social media – these days he's been disconnecting from everything in Mallorca, where he's gone with his wife, Hailey Bieber, and their son, little Jack Blues, who is not yet a year old.

After months of worrying appearances in the media, where he has been photographed much thinner than usual and displaying erratic and dejected behavior both on stage and off, it seems that Mallorca is proving enough for the Canadian singer, a long-time acquaintance of the tabloids despite being only 31 years old. In fact, this is confirmed by his social media, where he has not hidden the fact that he has fled Hollywood to take refuge in the Balearic Islands to "make detox", using his own terms.

As it has transpired, the official purpose of the trip was to promote a new shade of glossy lip gloss from his wife's cosmetics brand, called Rhode. Like so many other global celebrities of the digital age, Hailey Bieber – Baldwin's maiden name, as she belongs to this Hollywood dynasty – has launched her own cosmetics line, which generates a huge amount of income because her potential customers are among the more than 55 million followers she has on Instagram alone. To boost the brand in aspirational environments for the target Hailey Bieber will have a stand for her brand set up until the end of July at the Gran Follies beach club in Puerto de Andratx, where she made an appearance this Tuesday along with other models and influencers to stir up social media and boost sales.

Like two anonymous people

In her time away from doing business, Hailey has been accompanying her husband in his process of "detoxand reconciliation with humanity. The images that have been leaked on social media of the couple sitting quietly are testimony to this. at the low hour Watching the sunset in a cove in the Andratx area, in the west of the island. The summer—those expected by Ana Obregón or the royal family—has had no dispute with Bieber, who often confronts him when he's pursued around Los Angeles, the city where he lives.

In Mallorca, according to various media outlets, Bieber and his wife have rented a luxurious house costing around €25,000 a week to spend these days. After getting off their jet in the private area of Palma Airport, the couple headed to Cala Llamp, where the villa where they have sought privacy is located these days. The property they rented has spectacular views and an infinity pool that Bieber himself has shown off on his Instagram account. In fact, showing some views of the house where he spends these days of rest demonstrates the tranquility and peace the Canadian singer finds, because in another setting, showing views of the house makes it easier for paparazzi to know where the celebrity in question is and increase the pressure. So much so that when Kanye West and Bianca Censori were in that same area of Mallorca recently, they left no trace of the house where they were staying, precisely to avoid the media commotion.

The Canadian's social media has been buzzing with activity these days in Mallorca. The photos he's dedicated to his nearly 300 million followers have been aimed at combating rumors of estrangement within the couple—he's posted images of him and Hailey in affectionate mode—and at combating those who have long been saying that he's musically finished after four years without releasing new music. Although he hasn't been very specific, on Thursday night he posted a series of photos showing billboards of busy intersections in the US—and also in Iceland (where he was recording)—with images of him, the word SWAG, and a list of titles that would be the songs on his next album, as he has reported. The Hollywood ReporterPerhaps the pit stop in Mallorca was just a way to gather momentum and begin a comeback with new music that will sooner rather than later take him around the world. In fact, the debt he had incurred over the years without new music may have forced Bieber to release this new album without delay. That's why he didn't do any pre-promotional campaigning...

Perhaps the pressure of preparing a new album after so much time and in the midst of his newly launched role as a father eleven months ago is what had led the artist to walk a tightrope in relation to his mental health. The fact that some media and social networks speculated that his appearance and attitude were due to an impending divorce or because he had addictions to certain substances surely did not help this eternal child of Hollywood, who began in music by doing song covers on YouTube from his home until he was discovered in 2008. In 2009 he released his first album and by 2010 he was already traveling the world singing his international hit, Baby.

A fragile icon

Throughout his long career, Bieber has been involved in all kinds of scenes that have threatened his commercial interests because they affected his image. To a large extent, as he explained, he has maintained his most erratic behavior in public during times when his mental health has been severely affected. Among his own reality and in some interviews, Bieber has made public that he has suffered from depression and anxiety and that he has had suicidal thoughts.

That feeling of being a fraud and not really recognizing himself may come from a lifetime of playing the role his parents raised him to play: that of a sweet little boy who had to please everyone. Perhaps that's why his transition to a mature artist was so abrupt, seeking to assert himself with a bad boy role that perhaps didn't really represent him. Although he claims to have found a certain calm with his wife and son, it remains to be seen how the new musical journey that awaits him affects him, which can be as dangerous if he's successful as if he has too little. Few artists survive early fame in good health, and few manage to truly enjoy their success...
