Bieber, 25, who tied the knot with model Hailey Baldwin late last year, reportedly sought treatment for depression last month, according to People magazine.

Bieber also opened up to Vogue magazine for their February issue about his past struggles with depression.

\"I got really depressed on tour,\" he told the magazine, referring to his 2017 Purpose tour. \"I haven’t talked about this, and I’m still processing so much stuff that I haven’t talked about. I was lonely. I needed some time.\"

He also revealed that struggles with mental health run in his family, saying \"my mom was depressed a lot of my life and my dad has anger issues.\"

\"Stuff that they passed on that I’m kind of mad they gave me,\" he added.
