JUSTIN and Hailey Bieber have convinced fans they live in separate homes after they were spotted arriving at dinner in two cars.
For months, indications have been accumulating that the couple is preparing to divorce.
They further fueled the rumors after photos and a video surfaced of them showing up separately at the dinner.
The photos and images showed Justin, 30, stopping at Italian restaurant Madeo in Los Angeles, California, earlier this week without his wife.
He wore black sweatpants, a black hoodie and a red and white baseball cap for the outing.
Hailey, 27, was also seen arriving at the restaurant in another vehicle, dressed casually in pants, a sweatshirt and a red hat.

The duo were then seen leaving the restaurant, just meters apart, with Hailey stopping to talk to friends and Justin walking quickly in the opposite direction.
They didn’t seem to say goodbye as they went their separate ways.
FAN SPECULATION
Fans pointed out the bizarre encounter in a popular online thread.
“I saw a comment that maybe now ‘they’re dating,’ which they never were able to do before they got married. It’s crazy they couldn’t make it work every time they dated before It just gives Jada and Will Smith vibes,” the original poster wrote.
“Do they even live in the same house…” asked another.
Fans already suspected the couple was having marriage problems and living apart after often seeing each other without each other.
Justin’s recent purchase of a $16 million mansion in La Quinta didn’t help, as fans felt he was staying there while Hailey’s was staying at their Los Angeles home.
Earlier this month, fans claimed the married couple had been taking separate cars to events for months after reviewing recent photos of the couple.
A fan on another forum suggested that the singer and model had been “living apart for the last year.”
Over the weekend, Hailey and Justin tried to squash talk of their relationship by getting cozy together at the Coachella music festival, where everyone could see.
