Singer Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, were spotted going to church on Sunday.
It marked one of the few times the "Baby" singer was seen out in public ever since he disclosed that he was suffering from facial paralysis caused by Ramsay Hunt Syndrome in a candid Instagram video poster earlier this month.

According to Page Six, the Canadian pop star and the Rhode founder were photographed heading into a Los Angeles church on Wednesday night.
Justin, 28, and Hailey, 25, were seen holding hands as they passed through the church doors. Both were dressed casually: Hailey wore one of her signature white crop tops with denim cutoff shorts and topped off her outfit with an oversized leather jacket.
She accessorized her ensemble with gold earrings, sunglasses, and black and white Adidas sneakers. She let her long hair fall in loose waves around her shoulders.

Justin, meanwhile, was seen wearing gray sweatpants and a baggy black tee shirt, and a matching jacket. He topped off his look with a backward baseball cap, a silver chain necklace, silver sunglasses, and white sneakers.
Fans have been concerned for Justin ever since he posted a video on his Instagram page earlier this month asking for prayers and revealing that he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which is causing his facial paralysis.
He revealed that it was hard for him to move one side of his face, and, in a later update, revealed that his symptoms were making it hard for him to eat.

According to New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome can cause a painful rash near the ear, on the face or on the mouth. Symptoms occur when the varicella-zoster virus infects a nerve in the head, and can sometimes lead to paralysis.
Justin revealed that he has been doing facial exercises to try to hasten his recovery and has been getting some of the best medical treatment available. Unfortunately for fans, as he continues to rest and recover, he was forced to cancel his future tour dates in the U.S.
