THERE seems to be trouble in paradise for celebrity power couple Justin and Hailey Bieber.
The married couple are said to be “completely out of sync” and struggling with marital issues that are “bigger than just a fight” amid rife rumors surrounding their relationship.
Last month, reports were rife that Hailey, 28, and her husband Justin, 30, were headed for divorce.
And now a body language expert has lifted the lid on what she believes is really going on with the couple behind closed doors after saying Justin “looks like he’s not healthy, and as if he hasn’t slept”.
Body language expert Patti Wood, the author of SNAP: Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language, and Charisma, has spoken exclusively to The U.S. Sun as speculation Hailey and Justin are heading for divorce mounts.
Analyzing a series of recent snaps of the pair – solo and together – Patti has revealed what state she believes the couple’s marriage is really in.
Looking at a photo of Justin and Hailey out and about in New York City on February 5, Patti noted now the Baby hitmaker was wearing oversized bedroom slippers, with his whole outfit comprising of sleepwear.
“When you wear sleepwear out and about, it’s projecting that you want to be tucked away safe in bed,” she told us in an exclusive chat.
“With a bathrobe and slippers and a onesie, it’s as if he’s saying, I wish I was a little boy, I want to return to childhood.”
Patti then noted how Hailey was “steps ahead of him” in the photo, adding: “They’re very far apart, she’s way ahead of him.
“This is an indication that she doesn’t want to be side-by-side with him. It seems she’s over him, and doesn’t want to be associated with him.”
‘SHAME AND SADNESS’
Patti noted how Justin’s face was looking downward, which “indicates shame and sadness” as Hailey blocks him with her purse and shoulder.

“This doesn’t look to be just a fight, but something bigger,” Patti added.
In another series of snaps that saw the couple heading out a day earlier on February 4, Patti said the way Justin was making tiny steps was “as if he’s saying, ‘I’ve made some bad steps or mistakes’.”
“He seems in pain and wants people to notice he’s in pain. His strange clothing is attention-seeking,” she added.
This comes after Justin sparked concern in New York on January 29 when he stepped out looking “hollow-eyed”.
