Hailey Bieber has updated fans on her husband Justin Bieber’s current struggle with facial paralysis, following his recent announcement of having Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

In a new appearance on Good Morning America on Wednesday (June 15), Hailey, 25, provided a positive update. “He’s doing really well. He’s getting better every single day,” she said. “He’s feeling a lot better and, obviously, it was just a very scary and random situation to happen, but he’s going to be totally okay and I’m just grateful that he’s fine.”

“The support has been really amazing just from fans, friends, family, like, every single person has sent well wishes, advice, recommendations. It’s actually been really amazing.”

As we reported last week, Bieber announced on Instagram that he has been battling a serious virus, one that has left the right side of his face paralyzed and that he will be taking time off from performing until he gets better.

The singer posted a video explaining to fans why he’s had to postpone several shows recently, explaining that his diagnosis affected a nerve in his ear, causing the paralysis, which you can clearly see has affected half of his face — unable to blink his right eye, flare his nostril or smile fully.

Bieber, 28, apologized to fans that he will be taking a break from touring as he says it is “pretty serious” and that he’ll need to work on facial exercises to get back to normal. “I wish this wasn’t the case but obviously my body is telling me I gotta slow down,” he said. “I hope you guys understand, and I’m using this time to just rest and relax and get back to 100% so I can do what I was born to do. But in the meantime, this ain’t it.”

The virus that causes Ramsay Hunt syndrome is called varicella-zoster, which is in the herpes virus family — the same pathogen behind shingles. The rare virus, which is not contagious, can lie dormant in your body for years before reactivating and spreading to a facial nerve near your ear, developing into either shingles or in some cases, Ramsay Hunt syndrome. The syndrome typically affects people over the age of 60.

Justin Bieber’s 6 Best Songs Of All Time Ranked

• 6. Love Yourself

  A more serious of Bieber’s song, we love how the choreography for the music video for “Love Yourself” tells the story like a short film. Our favorite line in the song is, “My mama don’t like you and she likes everyone.” Ironically, the song was apparently written about his ex, Selena Gomez. The lyrics detail his narcissistic ex-lover. The song was written by Ed Sheeran, Benny Blanco (Selena’s current boyfriend) and Justin. Sheeran originally wrote the song for himself, but after hearing Justin’s smooth tones, he knew he was the perfect fit.

• 5. Somebody To Love Remix feat. Usher

  Add Usher to a Justin Bieber song and you have a guaranteed song that will make you dance. In the 2010 song, Bieber and his mentor sing about trying to find the perfect lady. The song was originally recorded as a demo by Usher for his sixth studio album, Raymond v. Raymond, but it was given to Bieber after things went stale with Usher’s label. Usher re-recorded featured vocals for the official remix of the song. The accompanying playful music video features appearances from several dance crews from America’s Best Dance Crew, such as Beat Freaks and Poreotics.

• 4. Peaches feat. Daniel Caesar, Giveon

  “Peaches” is an ode to different regions of the US, with Georgia and its famous peaches being the central focus. With Justin’s career success beginning in Atlanta, the song, featured on the artist’s sixth album, Justice, is also the birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr, who features prominently on the album. The laid-back pop, R&B, and pop soul ballad has an equally laid-back vibe in the music video. Bieber, Caesar, and Giveon drive a vintage car as they cruise down city streets illuminated by neon lights.

• 3. No Sense ft. Travis Scott

  One of his more underrated songs, this collaboration with Travis Scott is a slower, sexier tune than we’re used to. It samples It samples SWV’s 1997 track, “Rain.” From his fourth studio album, Purpose, this is the second collab between the singer and the rapper. The first being “Maria I’m Drunk” from Travi$‘ debut album, Rodeo. Dating back to 2015, Scott helped promote Justin’s “What Do You Mean?,” and the two artists became close friends.

• 2. Where Are Ü Now with Skrillex & Diplo

  This 2015 song has been remixed so many times by different EDM artists, but what is more impressive is the longevity of airplay “Where Are Ü Now” still gets. The Grammy-winning collaborative dance track with Skrillex and Diplo is a Bieber ballad turned forward-looking EDM anthem. As Justin was 21 at the time, Diplo said he came to Vegas one night the DJ played the track for the audience. Bieber told him then that it was the “first time I’ve ever had adults clap for me. This is like a big deal.”

• 1. Sorry

  Arguably his best song to date, “Sorry” finds the singer saying sorry to his lost love and asking for a second chance. The 2015 song’s dancehall beat was produced by Skrillex, whom Bieber collabed with on the hit single “Where Are Ü Now.” Regarding his will to work with the producer, Bieber called Skrillex is a “genius. He’s super futuristic and I just love his sounds.” It’s not too late to say “Sorry” for loving this track, so it makes our number one spot on the list.
