Bump Watch: Hailey and Justin Bieber Reveal They Are Expecting Their First Child
It’s the baby news that pop culture fans have been waiting for – Hailey and Justin Bieber are going to be parents! The superstar couple shared the exciting announcement in a series of stunning maternity photos posted to their Instagram accounts on May 9th.
In the ethereal images, Hailey, 27, is glowing in a flowing white lace gown that delicately skims over her blossoming baby bump. The Rhode Skin founder’s signature honey blonde locks are swept up with a lace headpiece, allowing her radiant pregnancy glow to take center stage. Justin, 30, is captured adoringly cradling his wife’s stomach in several of the shots, clearly already embracing the role of doting dad-to-be.
The carousel of photos begins with a video clip that hints the couple may have renewed their vows in celebration of their latest relationship milestone. The footage shows the pair sharing a tender kiss in a picturesque field, as what sounds like Justin’s vocals provide the romantic soundtrack. As the camera pans out, Hailey’s burgeoning bump is unmistakable beneath her gossamer maternity look.
While this will be the first child for the couple, who have been married since 2018, parenthood is a journey the “Peaches” singer has been openly looking forward to. In a candid 2021 interview, Justin revealed, “My intention from the beginning was to have a healthy family. I’m going to do whatever it really takes.” He added at the time, “I am motivated to be the best husband and future father.”
For Hailey’s part, she has been equally transparent about her and Justin’s desire to start a family, sharing her hopes for children in multiple interviews over the years. In 2020, the model told Elle, “There’s this thing that happens for women when you get married, where you feel this obligatory desire to have kids.” However, she maintained they were on no fixed timeline, reiterating, “I think ideally in the next couple of years we would try. But there’s a reason they call it try, right?”
Try they did, and succeed they have! While no official due date has been announced, Hailey appears to be well into her second trimester based on her bump’s progression in the stunning portraits. With their first child on the way, this new chapter promises to be the couple’s greatest comeback story yet.
