Hailey and Justin Bieber have officially become parents, welcoming their first child, a son named Jack Blues Bieber. The couple announced on Friday evening via Justin’s Instagram, where he posted a photo of the baby’s foot with the caption, "WELCOME HOME JACK BLUES BIEBER 🐻".
The Biebers, who have been married since 2018, revealed Hailey's pregnancy in May, using their vow renewal in Hawaii as an opportunity to debut her baby bump. Hailey’s representative confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that she was over six months pregnant at that time. The couple chose to keep the baby’s gender and exact due date private until the birth.
Throughout their marriage, Hailey and Justin have openly discussed their desire to start a family. Hailey expressed her excitement about becoming a mother in an interview with GQ last October, stating, “It’s something that’s going to come when it comes.” However, she also acknowledged the challenges of raising a child in the spotlight, adding, “I don’t even know what it feels like to be a parent other than a dog parent yet. And that’s not the same thing, by any means.”
The couple's decision to keep the latter part of Hailey's pregnancy private was reflected in her low profile during the final weeks. The Biebers' announcement marks a significant moment in their journey as they embrace parenthood together.
