Pop icon Justin Bieber sees a significant reshuffling in his personal and professional life as his long-time personal assistant quits and concerns grow over his well-being.
- March 6, 2025
AceShowbiz - Justin Bieber's life appears to be undergoing substantial changes as his longtime personal assistant, Mateo Caldas, has reportedly quit. This latest change has left Bieber's inner circle significantly smaller.
Caldas, who has worked with Justin and his wife Hailey since 2018, is part of a series of professional relationships that Bieber has ended recently after the star unfollowed the likes of former manager Scooter Braun, scandal-riddled P. Diddy, and former mentor Usher.
According to The US Sun, the pop star also let go of his bodyguards, drivers, and other business associates. A source close to the singer revealed, "Justin's life has changed a lot, and he wants to be careful who he has around him on a day-to-day basis; he sometimes finds it hard to trust." Now, Bieber prefers to drive himself and his wife Hailey on outings.
While acting career is said to be the reason behind Caldas' resignation as Bieber's personal assistant, this major shake-up came amid concerns about Bieber's drug use.
Fans have noticed that the singer looks disheveled in recent public appearances and got into a verbal spat with a paparazzo, sparking rumors of substance abuse. Despite his team's denials of any drug use, Bieber himself has been stoking the fire by sharing videos and photos on social media where he is seen smoking out of bong and rapping about being high.
His behavior and appearance have led to worrisome reactions from friends and fans alike. One insider mentioned, "It's concerning... He's 30 years old now; he's an adult and should be taking better care of himself. He knows everyone scrutinizes him."
Another source, who previously worked with Bieber as a fitness expert, expressed frustration, "He has to get his s*** together and return to the inspirational figure he was before. He needs to be on his A-game."
Amid evolving personal and professional landscapes, what remains clear is that Justin Bieber is at a crossroads. While he navigates this period of upheaval, his fans and close associates are hopeful that he will find a grounded, healthy way forward.
