Justin Bieber was seen in Beverly Hills with his wife Hailey on Wednesday afternoon.
The Canadian seemed to try to keep a low profile as he stepped out of a black SUV with a phone glued to his ear while in very casual attire.
It is the first time the 25-year-old Purpose singer has been spotted since he told fans just an hour earlier via Instagram that he was diagnosed with Lyme Disease as well as mononucleosis in 2019.

It was a big day for the former child star who shared his health issues on Instagram.
The Company singer singer slammed trolls who had previously said he ‘looks like sh*t’ and accused him of being ‘on meth’ in a candid post.
He posted a message about his Lyme disease diagnosis, and added he has also been struggling with ‘mono’, which is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus.

Bieber is set to open up about his secret health battle in his new 10-part documentary series, which will be released on January 27 on YouTube.
He wrote on Wednesday: ‘While a lot of people kept saying Justin Bieber looks like sh*t, on meth etc. they failed to realize I’ve been recently diagnosed with Lyme disease, not only that but had a serious case of chronic mono which affected my, skin, brain function, energy, and overall health.’
Mononucleosis is an infectious illness that’s usually caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).

It’s also called mono or ‘the kissing disease,’ according to WebMD. Many people are exposed to EBV – part of the herpes virus family – as children but that does not always lead to Mono.
Justin continued: ‘These things will be explained further in a docu series I’m putting on YouTube shortly.. you can learn all that I’ve been battling and OVERCOMING!!
‘It’s been a rough couple years but getting the right treatment that will help treat this so far incurable disease and I will be back and better than ever NO CAP.’
The Sorry star allegedly said he had felt severely depressed for much of 2019, but it wasn’t until later in the year that his doctors realized he was suffering from Lyme disease, sources who previewed the documentary tell TMZ.
It’s unclear exactly when or where Bieber contracted the disease, which also afflicts Bella Hadid, Shania Twain and Avril Lavigne.

The most common symptoms of the disease are fever, headache, fatigue and a skin rash called erythema migrans.
The disease can typically be treated by several weeks of oral antibiotics. But if left untreated, the infection can spread to the joints, heart and nervous symptoms and be deadly.
In the new documentary Justin, who held a lavish second wedding to Hailey on September 30, says he went ‘undiagnosed’ for much of 2019.
Several times in 2019 the Where Are U Now singer looked crestfallen when out in New York City and LA with Hailey.
In February, People had reported that the star was getting treatment for depression.

Getting help: In November doctors tested Justin over and over, the site claims, and gave him an IV drip to help the situation. That is why he was wearing the drip several times in November
In March he cried out for sympathy with an Instagram post: ‘Just wanted to keep you guys updated a little bit hopefully what I’m going through will resonate with you guys. Been struggling a lot. Just feeling super disconnected and weird.
‘God is faithful and ur prayers really work.’
In September, Justin also confessed he was embarrassed of his past: ‘I went from a 13-year-old boy from a small town to being praised left and right by the world, with millions saying how much they loved me and how great I was.
New material: His 10-part YouTube series Seasons starts streaming on January 27
Interesting timing: This news comes just two days before his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez will release her new album Rare which includes several songs about her bitter early 2018 breakup with the Canadian
‘You hear these things enough as a young boy and you actually start believing it. Everyone did everything for me, so I never even learned the fundamentals of responsibility,’ he explained.
He also said by 19 he was doing ‘pretty heavy drugs’ and ‘abused’ the relationships he was in. ‘I made every bad decision you could have thought of and went from one of the most loved and adored people in the world to the most ridiculed, judged and hated person in the world.’
And in October Bieber was seen crying in public.
Fans thought that he was having a breakdown as he was giving emotional interviews about his past.
But Justin reportedly makes it clear in his new documentary that he was actually suffering from depression brought on by Lyme disease.
Hailey’s good friend Bella Hadid suffers from Lyme Disease as does Bella’s mother Yolanda Hadid, formerly known as Yolanda Foster.
In November doctors tested Justin over and over, the site claims, and gave him an IV drip to help the situation.
That is why he was wearing the drip several times in November.
He was then given several medications.
He is now ‘being treated with the proper meds, his skin has cleared up, and he’s now ready for his upcoming album release and tour.’
This report comes just two days before his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez will release her new album Rare which includes several songs about her bitter 2018 breakup with the Canadian.
