JUSTIN Bieber and his wife Hailey are going through a difficult time in their five-year marriage but they will not be filing for divorce, a source exclusively told The U.S. Sun.
Rumors have been swirling for months that the pair are headed for a trial separation and are even living separately, but an insider insists it's just a bump in the road.
The couple, who married in September 2018, are allegedly desperate to stay together and work through their issues.
A source told The U.S. Sun, "Justin and Hailey are not separating but they have been going through a tough time.
"Divorce is not an option for them as it goes against their religious beliefs. They're working on their marriage."
The insider went on, "Nobody’s moved out, but occasionally they are spending time apart by staying with family and friends, but they are really keen to stay together.
"Sometimes space can be a good thing and it seems to be working for them at the minute as they figure things out."
The U.S. Sun reached out to Justin and Hailey's reps for comment.
TROUBLE IN PARADISE?
They partied separately on Halloween last year and a photograph obtained by The U.S. Sun showed Justin, 30, dancing with a group of female friends.
Ever since, fans have been examining their behavior, while sources have told numerous outlets there is trouble in paradise.

Hailey, 27, and Justin have also allegedly been arriving and leaving star-studded events in separate cars for some time now.
But the pair are still very much a couple, with Hailey sharing a photograph on her Instagram Story on Easter Sunday of two chocolate eggs, one with her name and one with Justin's written in white icing.
Both were placed in small wicker baskets and arranged on a table decorated with white flowers.
A third egg, dedicated to Hailey's friend and vocalist Justin Skye, 28, was visible in the background.
Hailey hit back at the rumors of a split last month with a post on her Instagram Stories, but sources have continued to claim all is not rosy in their relationship.
