Justin Bieber has addressed his wife Hailey Bieber’s blood clot scare, calling her ordeal ‘scary.’
The Baby hitmaker opened up about his partner’s health woes at his concert in Denver, when the show came to a halt due to technical issues.
After the venue was plunged into darkness for 25 minutes, the 28-year-old returned to the stage for a chat with the audience.
Justin reassured fans that his wife is doing ‘good’ after the model, 25, was rushed to hospital last week with stroke-like symptoms.
‘Life randomly throws you curve balls. You know, we can’t really control much. You know, tonight the power cutting out,’ Justin said on stage.
He continued: ‘Obviously you guys know, most of you probably know or seen the news about my wife, not sure if you guys seen.
‘She’s ok, she’s good. It’s been scary, you know, it’s been really scary but I know for a fact that God has her in the palm of his hands.’
Hailey confirmed her illness on Instagram earlier this week, explaining that doctors found a ‘very small blood clot to her brain’, describing the situation as ‘one of the scariest moments.’
A source later told People Magazine that her husband ‘never left her side’ throughout the whole thing.
The insider told the publication: ‘When it happened, there was a lot of panic. Justin texted everyone he knew and asked everyone to pray for her, and he never left her side.
‘He was saying that he can’t lose her, that whatever it takes, he wanted the best medical treatment available.’
They added: ‘He would’ve done anything to help her. It was a moment for them both to be reminded about mortality, and focusing on what really matters.’
The source said Hailey is Justin’s ‘rock’ and how the traumatic experience showed him that ‘he needs to appreciate her every day.’
‘He’s going to keep an eye on her and help her however he can. And he has everyone around him praying for her continued good health. It shook him up.’
When Hailey spoke publicly about the hospital dash on social media, she said the symptoms occurred when she was sitting at breakfast with Justin on Thursday morning.
‘They found I had suffered a very small blood clot to my brain, which caused a small lack of oxygen, but my body had passed it on its own and I recovered completely within a few hours,’ she shared.
‘Although this was definitely one of the scariest moments I’ve ever been through, I’m home now and doing well, and I’m so grateful and thankful to all the amazing doctors and nurses who took care of me!’
Hailey then thanked everyone who had sent her well wishes and concern.
The runway star married the musician were first linked at the end of December, 2015, but split months later.
They reunited in June, 2018, and announced their engagement the following month – tying the knot in a private ceremony the same year.
