Baby, baby, baby OH!
Hailey Bieber is pregnant! The model and skincare mogul is expecting her first child with Justin Bieber, her husband of five years.
Hailey posted a sweet announcement to Instagram featuring a photo and video shoot of the couple embracing and clutching her teeny-tiny bump. For the announcement, the mom-to-be wore a lace dress and a lace scarf on her head, while Justin wore a jacket and backwards baseball cap.

In an interview with the Sunday Times in 2023, Hailey admitted that she “wants kids so bad” but is worried about raising them in the public eye. “I literally cry about this all the time,” she said, per People. “I get scared. It’s enough that people say things about my husband or my friends. I can’t imagine having to confront people saying things about a child.”
She continued, “We can only do the best we can to raise them. As long as they feel loved and safe.”
Fans began speculating that Hailey was pregnant after the couple skipped the Met Gala 2024, pointing to other “clues” such as Hailey’s oversize jacket at Coachella back in April. The starlet has also been absent from the spotlight in recent weeks; both Hailey and her beau are usually papped around L.A. or NYC, her in a midriff-baring crop top, him in pants several sizes too large.
Others pointed to the cryptic Instagram message reposted by Hailey’s dad, actor Stephen Baldwin, in which a pastor asks followers to “pray” for the couple, as evidence that she was farther along than we thought. At the time, the post led to breakup rumors, which the couple quickly shut down.
Another eyebrow-raising “clue”: Justin performed his song “Baby” in February 2024. The man was straight up dropping hints that Hailey Bieber is pregnant and the world was screaming “Bieber breakup!”
The couple has dodged pregnancy rumors over the years (including one started by Justin himself, an ill-advised April Fools’ joke back in 2019), and Hailey had previously shut each one down. Back in 2022, after yet another round of pregnancy whispers, Hailey told fans that she was suffering from an ovarian cyst “the size of an apple.”
In addition to the cyst, which Hailey said was benign, the couple endured another scary health issue in 2022: Hailey suffered from a “ministroke” due to a blood clot in her brain, and was rushed to the hospital. Luckily, she said, her body was able to process the clot on its own, and she fully recovered.
