Singer Justin Bieber (30 years old) and actress, model and businesswoman Hailey Bieber (27) are now first-time parents. Both have announced this with a post on their social networks on August 23. “Welcome home Jack Blues Bieber,” the artist wrote in a message that accompanies an image in which the new mother is seen holding the little one’s foot. A post that his wife later shared on social networks. stories from his Instagram account. News that comes after weeks of speculation about the birth of the couple’s first child. Pattie Mallette, Justin’s mother, tweeted: “CONGRATULATIONS @justinbieber and Hailey. LOVE YOU FOREVER BABY JACK!!”. Stephen Baldwin, Hailey’s father, shared Mallette’s message and added: “Amen, congratulations and may God continue to bless our family.”
The couple announced their pregnancy last May also through their Instagram profiles, where the singer alone has 294 million followers (she 52.2 million). The publication included photographs and video footage showing Stephen Baldwin’s daughter’s early pregnancy, dressed in a white dress (by Saint Laurent) and him linking her arms in a ceremony in which they appeared to be renewing their marriage vows.
In recent months, both have shared glimpses of the evolution of their pregnancy with their millions of followers. A time in which the artist has hardly been separated from his wife, except when he was hired to sing at one of the opulent pre-weddings of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, members of wealthy Indian families. A private concert for which multiple international media outlets point out that the singer earned millions of dollars (the official figure is a mystery). For her part, the model, who has barely been seen in public in recent weeks, has starred in some advertising campaigns: the latest, a perfume by Saint Laurent, a brand of which she is an ambassador. She also wanted to show off her belly last July for the cover of the magazine American magazine W.
The couple married in September 2018 in secret, in a New York courthouse, just two months after they got engaged. He was 24 at the time and she was 21. It was the model’s uncle, actor Alec Baldwin, who revealed it during the red carpet at the Emmy Awards that same year: “They went and got married. I don’t know what the problem is.” Just over a year later, on September 30, 2019, came the mass celebration. The couple celebrated their nuptials with a grand wedding at a luxury resort in South Carolina (USA). Its cost, according to what was reported at the time, exceeded a quarter of a million dollars.
The Canadian singer and the Arizona-born model, now also the owner of a cosmetics company, met a little over a decade ago, when they were just kids, in 2009. Although their relationship did not begin until six years later. By then, Bieber had already become a pop star and his love life was in the news every day. His relationship with another of the great figures of the past decade, the singer and actress (and now also the owner of a successful cosmetics brand) Selena Gomez, was especially controversial due to his comings and goings, and lasted until 2018, just six months before he married the now mother of his first child. For years, the media has tried to sell a confrontation between the two. Speculations that were put to rest with an event that marked the model’s new life: Hailey received death threats on social media and, quickly, Selena Gomez came to her defense.
The marriage has been marked by many ups and downs throughout these few years since they joined their lives, added to the rumors of crises that seem not to leave them. Justin Bieber has said in multiple interviews that thanks to his union with Hailey he has found a normality in the complex life that has taken him on stage since he was 15 years old. During this time, the marriage has had to face lawsuits for plagiarism, in Hailey’s case, and health problems such as a serious facial paralysis caused by a virus in his case, which forced him to cancel his tour, Justice World Tourin 2022. “The first year of marriage was very hard because there was a lot behind it. A return to all my traumas,” she said in an interview for the magazine GQ in 2021. “Before, I had nothing to hope for in my life. My home was unstable, in fact non-existent. I had no one really important. No one to love, no one to cry on. But now I have it,” recalled the most famous child prodigy of the 21st century.
