Justin’s parents separated in 1985, when the boy was not yet 5 years old. Both soon started their own families. So Justin had a stepfather, as well as two half-brothers on his father’s side. Despite popular beliefs, the divorce of the parents did not affect the psyche of the future star – the boy grew up healthy and ambitious beyond his years.
