Justin Bieber is speaking out about his wife Hailey’s recent medical emergency.
The pop star, 28, opened up about the small blood clot that formed in his wife’s brain, while speaking on stage at a performance of his Justice World Tour.
“You know, it’s kind of crazy how life randomly throws you curveballs,” the singer said in a video of his speech, which he shared on Instagram Thursday. “We can’t really control much.”
Bieber then referenced the news about his wife’s medical event, in which she experienced stroke-like symptoms. Hailey has since recovered and returned home from the hospital.
“She’s OK. She’s good,” Bieber said. “But it’s been scary. It’s been really scary. But I know for a fact that God has her in the palm of his hands, and that’s a good thing.”
On March 12, the 25-year-old model revealed on her Instagram story that she had a “very small blood clot” in her brain that caused “stroke like symptoms,” which prompted her to seek medical attention.
“On Thursday morning, I was sitting at breakfast with my husband when I started having stroke like symptoms and was taken to the hospital,” she wrote
Bieber said her body was able to pass the clot on its own and she recovered in a few hours.
“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,” she wrote. “Thank you to everyone who has reached out with well wishes and concern.”
Hailey has been open about her health struggles in the past, including her mental health and the health of her husband. In Elle’s March 2020 issue she opened up about how Justin Bieber’s struggle with Lyme disease affected their marriage.

“He was really sick. He has Lyme disease, and he was dealing with a bunch of medical stuff. We didn’t have a diagnosis,” she said. “And it was hard because everybody from the outside was being super mean and judgmental, saying he looked like he was on drugs, saying how unhealthy he looked, when in truth, he was not healthy and we didn’t know why.”
Johns Hopkins describes Lyme disease as “a multi-system bacterial infection caused by the spirochete, Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted to humans primarily through the bite of an infected deer tick.” The singer revealed his diagnosis in January 2020.
