Fans of Hailey and Justin Bieber have something to look forward to every week. In their new Facebook Watch original series, ‘The Biebers on Watch’, the couple will open up their home and marriage to offer an exclusive look at their life through a series of intimate conversations and activities with famous friends and family.
The 12-episode series, filmed on go-pros positioned around their Toronto home, features self-shot segments, where fans will get a glimpse into the day-to-day lives and relationship of the superstar couple.
In the first episode of ‘The Biebers on Watch’ that aired on Monday, May 4, the couple took a boat trip on the lake near their house. In the middle of the lake, they reflected on their relationship.
“The most rewarding thing about being married definitely is just the, like, companionship, I think, that you get out of it. The more that you work on it and the more that you fight for it to be solid and you fight for it to be -- it takes a lot of work, wouldn't you say?" Hailey responded to the ‘Yummy’ singer’s question about what was the most rewarding thing about marriage. She added, “We've had to work hard on our relationship and I think that pays off in a way where we've just become so connected to each other and so close and so solid with each other.”
Justin additionally said, "There's a lot of things that I needed to work on. Forgiveness things. Jealousy things. Insecurities that I needed to -- that I didn't even realize I had until I chose to spend my life with you… I realize there was a lot of things, blind spots, in my life that I didn't realize I had. That was really hard to work through those things, but I think, you know, when you choose to look through those things, they actually—I feel like now that I've worked through a lot of that stuff, you and I are closer than ever.”
In fact, soon enough, Hailey spoke about their 2016 break-up. “I think it actually, when I looked back on it, it was the best thing that we took time apart and had time to do our own thing and I felt like I found my footing just as -- in my career and on my own and as a young adult,” she said. “By the time that we got back together, I just felt like… I knew what I wanted… I cared about you so much that I was like, ‘It doesn't even matter to me if he's in my life in like a romantic way. I just care about him so much that I want him to -- I want us to be in each other's lives and that be okay’.”
Justin also said, “I think the security marriage gives you is that you make a covenant before God to love that person for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, which is something that you have done amazing for me; you were there for me when I was really struggling.”
All-new episodes of ‘The Biebers on Watch’ will be available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday on Facebook Watch, including a Facebook LIVE episode.
