Justin Bieber: Teenage ‘ego and power’ ruined relationships, vows to change with God’s help

Justin Bieber opened up about the effect “ego and power” had on him as a teen and how that caused his relationships to suffer.

The “Yummy” singer also dished on how he’s leaning on his Christian faith to make sure his marriage to Hailey Baldwin is healthy.

Bieber, 26, rose to fame at age 13 after having come from a small town in Ontario, Canada.

In a candid Instagram post Sunday night, he said prior to fame he was “never motivated by money or fame.” The singer added, “I just loved music.”

However, the “Intentions” singer said he became insecure and frustrated as a teenager in the spotlight and his “values slowly started to change.”

“I let ego and power takeover and my relationships suffered because of it,” Bieber admitted.

He continued: “I truly desire healthy relationships. I want to be motivated by truth and love. I want to be aware of my blind spots and learn from them!”

“I want to walk in the plans God has for me and not try to do it on my own!” the devoted Christian said.

Bieber also expressed his desire to be a good husband to Baldwin, 23, who he married in September 2018 and shared a large wedding ceremony in September 2019.

“I want to give up my selfish desires daily so I can be a good husband and future dad!” he said.

Bieber concluded: “I’m grateful that I can walk with Jesus as he leads the way.”

In a candid interview with Beat 1’s Zane Lowe in February, the Canadian pop star opened up about his rocky points with Baldwin and his commitment to religion moving forward.

Bieber said he was still reeling from “unforgiveness” from his past relationship with Selena Gomez and that affected his relationship with his now-wife.

As a result of his struggles, he admitted he was unfaithful to Baldwin.
