Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber's marriage is facing difficulties at the moment, according to a new report. The couple have been tirelessly defending their relationship against split rumours this year, but a source has claimed to Us Weekly that "things aren't great right now" for the pair, and that Justin's recent behaviour - including his social media posts and concerning appearances - has been causing "a lot of stress" for his wife of nearly seven years.

Hailey's career has been thriving in 2025, as she sold her beauty brand Rhode for a staggering $1 billion and landed her first solo Vogue cover in June - not to mention the joys of being a first-time mother to baby Jack Blues Bieber, who was born in August last year. Unfortunately, though, "family issues have clouded her success," added the source.

The insider claimed: "Justin’s been a hard person to deal with recently because of what he’s going through. Hailey is the stable parent and the one keeping their family together. It’s been really hard on her." A second source agreed, telling the publication: "Justin’s going through a difficult time, and Hailey is giving him room to get himself back on track. He’s doing his best, but it’s tough."

The second source also alleged that the Biebers' marriage has very much been experiencing "ups and downs" in recent weeks as Hailey is "worried" about her husband, as "he hasn’t been down like this in quite some time, so there’s concern."

Justin's fans have expressed their worries about him in recent months, following his appearance at Coachella this year and his behaviour at a Rhode event in February. On social media, his posts have concerned fans, too - including his tribute to Hailey on her first Mother's Day which quickly went viral, as did his unusual message of support for her Vogue cover and his statement about "transactional relationships".

With all that in mind, it's believed that Justin and Hailey are not on the verge of breaking up despite the mounting speculation. The insider stated: "They don’t talk about divorce. Faith is a big part of their life. They believe they are soulmates and meant for each other." The second source said, "They’ll do anything to make it work."

Justin Bieber has posted another cryptic message that has left fans confused, as rumours continue to swirl around his relationship with wife, Hailey Bieber. Justin's post about relationships comes just as Hailey meaningfully edited a social media caption of her own referring to therapy.

On Monday, Justin wrote in an Instagram post: "Tired of transactional relationships. If I have to do something to be loved, That’s not love." The words accompanied two close-up and slightly blurry black and white selfies. Commenters were quick to jump to conclusions as to Justin's meaning, with many assuming that he was expressing a subtle dig at Hailey, with whom he shares son Jack Blues Bieber.

One person wrote: "All his posts and captions seem like personal attacks to Hailey how is this woman still with him, she continuously gets publicly embarrassed by her own husband." However, it feels important to note that Justin never said he was talking about Hailey - and the message was cryptic enough that it could have been referring to, well, anything.

Meanwhile, on the same day, the Hailey posted an Instagram slideshow with the caption: "lemon drop martinis and therapy all summer long." But the model soon edited the caption, which now only reads: "lemon drop martinis all summer long" with a series of summery emojis.

Justin's fans have voiced concern for his behaviour in recent months. There have been several incidents, including various Instagram posts and captions, which have led onlookers to believe that Justin could be going through a difficult time — and that perhaps his marriage is suffering as well.

With that said, sources who recently spoke to Page Six about the situation insisted that their relationship was absolutely fine. "She knows his personality," one insider said. "They love each other. She’s been really good for him."

Justin and Hailey Bieber's relationship has been making headlines in recent weeks following the singer's latest social media posts. Earlier this month, Justin shared a tribute to his wife Hailey to celebrate Mother's Day, but fans were confused by the sentiment. A week later, he posted about Hailey's first solo Vogue cover shoot and the accompanying message went viral.

Justin wrote on Instagram at the time: "Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight, I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue. Yikes I know, so mean... for some reason because I felt so disrespected I thought I gotta get even… So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken."

The backlash was loud and instant, and Justin soon changed his caption to just a series of emojis, but not before fans read it and judged his original words. One person wrote: "May this love never find me I’d rather be a cat lady," while another added: "Hailey deserves better."

However, sources close to the couple have now addressed the speculation surrounding their relationship, confirming that all is well between the pair. One source told Page Six: "It was his way of saying, 'I'm sorry for doubting you, congratulations.' That’s all it was. She knows his personality. They love each other. She’s been really good for him."

Meanwhile, a second source - who previously worked for Hailey and Justin - told the publication: "Hailey started off as a fan. She had to really prove herself to earn not just his love and the title of his wife, but the mother of his child. She’s really done a lot to make him feel safe … everything just being under a microscope, it’s a lot."

In her recent Vogue interview, Hailey touched on the impact that recent break-up rumours have had on her following the birth of their son, Jack Blues.

Trigger warning: this article discusses themes of birth trauma and postpartum difficulties

Hailey Bieber has opened up about the birth complications she experienced, nine months after welcoming her and Justin's first child, Jack Blues. The couple shared the news of his arrival in August 2024, and regularly share sweet photos of him on social media.

In a candid new interview for Vogue, the new mum explained that there were several challenges she faced both during her pregnancy and postpartum. As well as sharing how she coped in the months after baby Jack's birth, the Rhode Beauty founder also decided to discuss her difficult birth journey for the first time.

On her pregnancy, she explained that there was 'a lot for me mentally', and that it was 'difficult' for her to wrap 'her head around' the fact that her life was about to change. She told the publication: "There are certain warnings: Your life is never going to be the same again. It changes in good ways, but it’s not going to be the same. You’re never going to be just an individual without a child ever again. And you’re not going to just be you and your partner, just the two of you.”

Hailey also went on to say that the birth was the 'hardest thing [she's] ever done', explaining that in preparation she spent time doing a mix of holistic and fitness practices, including yoga, pelvic-floor therapy, acupuncture and weight training, which left her feeling 'stronger physically than I ever had before'.

As part of the interview, she also went into detail about her challenging birth journey. She told Vogue that she was induced at 39 weeks, and an 18-hour labour - without epidural - followed. She said: "That shit was so crazy. That was not fun. They broke my water. I went into labour and I laboured for a few hours. No epidural, nothing."

However, it wasn't plain sailing after baby Jack Blues' birth. Once he was born, Hailey experienced postpartum hemorrhage and continued to bleed. Although she says she trusts her doctor 'with [her] life', Hailey also said: "I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind."

She continued: "Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I’ve ever gone through in my life, and learning a new version of myself is very difficult. And to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, "They’re getting divorced!" and "They’re this!" and "They’re not happy!" It is such a mind-fuck. I cannot even begin to explain it. It’s a crazy life to live."

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is currently on trial for charges related to sex-trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. The rapper and producer appeared in a New York court this week, eight months after his arrest, where he faces criminal charges and several civil lawsuits. Diddy has pleaded not guilty and denied the charges against him, claiming that his sexual relationships were consensual. His ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura has been a key witness in the case, and over the course of her testimony has alleged that she was sexually, mentally and physically abused by Diddy during their relationship.

In recent months, Justin Bieber's relationship with Diddy has been widely discussed online with many speculating that the singer - who has known Diddy since he was a teenager - may have also been a 'victim'. Until now, Justin has declined to comment on the case or his involvement with Diddy during the early years of his career. However, on Thursday, one of Justin's representatives addressed the speculation in a statement to TMZ. They said: "Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve."

Additional sources - who the publication claims to be 'right at the centre of Justin's life - went on to claim to the news site that 'Diddy never sexually or otherwise abused Bieber'. These insiders reportedly alleged that Justin's public relationship with Diddy was 'performative' and that he was actually friends with Diddy's sons, Quincy and Justin.

Following his arrest in September, videos of Diddy with a teenage Justin have resurfaced on social media. Among them is a clip from 2009 where he tells the camera that he is unable to share what how the pair will spend the day, only alluding that it would be a '15 year old's dream', simply stating: "For the next 48 hours, he's with me and we're gonna go buck full crazy."

In another video from an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2011, Diddy says that Justin 'knows better than to be talking about things that he does with Big Brother Puff on national television'.

Justin has sparked concern from fans in recent months after posting a string of unusual social media posts, including a recent Mother's Day post about his wife, Hailey, and following his appearance at Coachella in April where a video of him smoking and dancing went viral.

For weeks, Justin Bieber has sparked fans' concern with confusing and cryptic social media posts and behaviour. On American Mother's Day this past Sunday, the Canadian popstar once again raised questions among his fans. In a now-deleted note posted to his profile on the day, Justin wrote: "Love u moms but mothers day sucks ass," as reported by News.com.au. On Instagram Stories, Justin wrote: "Good luck today for anyone navigating Mother’s Day."

Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticise these messages, given that Sunday marked his wife Hailey's first Mother's Day as a mum herself. The couple share eight month old son, Jack Blues Bieber. One person's post, which went viral, read: "Justin Bieber posting 'mother’s day sucks ass' as his wife celebrates her first one is so…. vile to me."

With all that said, Justin also celebrated his wife with sweet messages and gestures on the day. Firstly, he posted a series of photos of Hailey at home with the caption: "Best mommy day gurlie."

He then shared a video of his Mother's Day surprise for the supermodel, which featured a mariachi band, chips, guacamole and margaritas. Fans loved this, with one person writing: "Justin teaching the young ones how to appreciate your partner."

Another said: "10/10 husband," and a third added: "YOU ARE THE MAN."

Justin has spoken about his relationship with his mum, Pattie, over the years. In 2015, he spoke out about his estrangement from Pattie during an interview with Billboard, where he said: "We spent some time not talking, so it takes time to rebuild that trust. She’s living in Hawaii now, so it’s hard, but getting better. She’s an amazing woman and I love her." However, Yahoo! reports that Justin and Pattie were on good terms as of 2024.

Meanwhile, Pattie sweetly celebrated Hailey on Mother's Day, writing on Instagram: "Happy Mother’s Day Hailey, you are such a gift to our family—graceful, strong, and full of love. Watching you step so fully and beautifully into motherhood has been such a joy. I love you."

The Rhode founder commented: "Love you Happy Mothers Day."

Selena Gomez just released a new album in collaboration with her fiancé Benny Blanco.

As many of us could probably have predicted, people have immediately started speculating about whether some of Selena's new songs could be about her ex Justin Bieber and/or his wife Hailey Bieber. So, anyway, here's what we know about all that.

Specifically, there are rumours out there concerning the songs "How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten," "You Said You Were Sorry," and "Don't Take It Personally." Some people believe the first two could be about Justin, while the third could be about Hailey.

The lyrics to "How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten" go as follows (via Genius):

"And you walked in, big-ass grin
Talkin' like we're friends, honey, what were you thinkin'?
He loves me, I love him
Look at you, just look at you now

CHORUS
You're so embarrassin'
Go cry when no one's watchin'
I can't imagine it
How does it feel to be forgotten (Ah), forgotten? (Ah-ah)
How does it feel?
I hope one day you heal
How does it feel to be forgotten?"

On the simplest level, this song definitely sounds like it's about an ex of Selena's, with Justin being her most recent serious ex before Benny (Jelena dated on and off until 2018, though Selena and The Weeknd were romantically involved the year before that).

But more specifically, as reported by BuzzFeed, there's a theory that the "friends" element could point to Justin in particular, as he's rumoured to have tried to be friendly with Selena in 2024, but she allegedly wasn't having it.

Meanwhile, the lyrics to "You Said You Were Sorry" go like this (via Genius):

"Don't think about you
Happy without you
More now than I ever was

CHORUS
But I had a dream
You said you were sorry, said you were sorry
Sorry for everything
That you put on me, that you put on me"

According to BuzzFeed, this song could be acting as a callback to Justin's 2015 hit "Sorry," which he once said was at least partially about Selena.

Last but not least, the song "Don't Take It Personally" goes:

"Please don't take it personally
Some things are just meant to be
Don't waste all your energy
We both know that he loves me"

The narrative voice here is essentially telling their partner's ex that they've lost.

But rather than this being a song in which Selena is talking to Benny's ex, she actually explained: "So this song is another song that actually we kind of put together in a way where it was actually told to me."

She continued: "So this is actually me in the experience of someone maybe in my past that, you know, had gone through whatever they needed to go through to get through life and this felt—this is odd to say, but yes, I'm the person that it happened to."

Basically, while we're missing some key details here, it could be that in these lyrics, a fictionalised Hailey is saying these things to Selena.

However, Selena has also said about the album: "Any time I release anything the interpretation is going to be up to the audience. However, I would like to say that most of this album has nothing to do with what everyone may go to."

These comments seem to deny that the album is about Justin, but it's all very likely to remain a mystery.

Justin Bieber has rarely spoken publicly about his baby boy Jack Blues Bieber since he was born, but over the weekend, the popstar shared some sweet insights into their father-son relationship.

On Sunday, Justin participated in a charity ice hockey game, Skate for LA Strong. The event was hosted by the National Hockey League and the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena, and aimed to raise money to help the city's recovery following the devastating January wildfires.

Other stars who showed their support for the event included Snoop Dogg, Steve Carell, Will Ferrell and Danny DeVito, according to Bleacher Report and Hello!.

During the event, the LA Kings media team asked when Justin planned to introduce Jack to hockey, and he replied: "As soon as possible." He then added: "It's never too early."

It's so sweet that Justin can't wait to introduce his little one to one of his passions!

As a proud Canadian, the singer is a huge hockey fan, and roots for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Justin's outing and comments come amid rumours about his health, which a rep for the star promptly shut down in a statement to TMZ.

The "Peaches" singer and his wife, the model and entrepreneur Hailey Bieber, welcomed baby Jack in August 2024.

They had revealed that they were expecting their first child together in May, when they posted a video and photos from their vow renewal ceremony, in which Hailey's baby bump was clearly visible.

Hailey and Justin, who tied the knot in 2018, had previously opened up about wanting children together, and about not wanting to rush things.

In particular, the model was concerned about raising a child in the public eye, and once told The Sunday Times: "I want kids so bad but 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."

As a result, the doting parents make sure to keep their family life as private as possible.

Despite their relationship ending for good six years ago, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have had a hard time shaking each other in fans' collective psyche.

So of course when Selena announced the happy news of her engagement to Benny Blanco last week, fans were bound to look for any clue as to a direct or indirect reaction from Justin. And whether or not they're seeing things where there's nothing to see — said fans found what they were looking for.

This week, Justin posted some sweet photos with his wife Hailey Bieber, including one where she was kissing his cheek. But it was a specific detail from the post that particularly had people's gossip radars going berserk.

The detail in question was the addition of the song "all my ghosts" by Lizzy McAlpine on the post, a soundtrack which the "Baby" singer has since removed (but which you can see on a screenshot posted by Page Six).

So why did Justin take out the song? Well, clearly because of the fan reaction to it, especially given the lyrics. The track is about dealing with the ghosts of one's past, and includes the fairly telling words: "I can see it now / The wedding of the year / I can see it now / He stands up there and wipes his tears / I can see it now / When all my ghosts disappear / I can see it crystal clear"

Commenters on Justin's post seemed pretty convinced that he had chosen this song in reference to Selena. "Of course he was gonna post something now," wrote one person.

"But why that song," asked someone else.

Still, others thought this was just what it looks like: a sweet picture of a happy couple. "YOU GUYS ARE TOO CUTE," wrote one fan, while another added: "we love love"

Selena and Benny, a successful music producer, have been dating since around December of last year, and got engaged with the sweetest picnic scene and a VERY large ring.

Selena and Justin were on and off between 2010ish and 2018, with the Canadian singer marrying supermodel Hailey that same year. The two welcomed their first child, a son named Jack Blues, this past August.

Unfortunately, the two women have been pitted against each other in the collective narrative since Justin and Hailey have been together. Hopefully we can put all of that to rest now...

Justin Bieber has paid a touching tribute to Liam Payne in the aftermath of his tragic passing.

Justin took to Instagram Stories on Monday to reshare a fan reel with the message: "rest easy liam," with a white heart and broken heart emoji.

The video showed fan-made tributes to Liam featuring flowers, handwritten notes, photos, balloons and other small offerings, and a voiceover said: "Just remember: you are allowed to grieve as a fan. You are allowed to love someone you never met. You are allowed to admire someone for their art. You are allowed to cry, to pray, to feel like a part of you is gone."

Justin and Liam were connected in a simple way: they were both child stars growing up in the music industry at the same time.

According to Hello!, there was a bit of a disagreement between the two men at one time, after Liam made a passing comment about Justin being arrested. That incident happened in 2014, and the "Baby" singer later revealed that he was "hurting, unhappy, confused" at the time.

The two eventually made up, with Liam telling Justin: "Number one, I've done all the things that you've done and I've never been caught for any of them... number two, I've always really felt for you, mate, and I think in our situation we all suffer from the same disease."

Liam sadly passed away after he fell from the balcony of his third-floor hotel room in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 16 October.

There has been an outpouring of love for the former One Direction singer following his death. As well as Justin, celebrities that paid tribute to the Wolverhampton-born star have included his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, his ex Cheryl, with whom he shares son Bear, as well as the four other members of One Direction: Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Niall Horan.

The former boy band stars issued a joint message as well as individual ones to express their heartbreak over their friend's passing.

Hailey Bieber wears her love for her baby boy on her sleeve... or rather, close to her heart.

The supermodel just took to Instagram with a brand new piece of bling, and it just so happens to be a sweet tribute to her son with husband Justin Bieber, Jack Blues Bieber.

Hailey posted a gallery of photos to celebrate October, and took the opportunity to show off the very, very sparkly necklace she's recently acquired, which reads "jbb" for her son's initials. The necklace matches another one she's been wearing for a while, which is just a capital B — and an equally imposing piece of bling.

She captioned her pic: "It’s October and I’m someone’s Mom" with a jack-o'-lantern emoji.

Because we know you were wondering, we've also got the deets on how much this new necklace of Hailey's might be worth — just make sure you're sitting down before you continue reading.

"Hailey Bieber has lovingly honoured hers and Justin Bieber’s first son with a dazzling bubble initial necklace featuring the initials 'jbb' for Jack Blues Bieber. Crafted in a playful bubble font, the initials are adorned with shimmering rows of pavé diamonds, adding a touch of glamour," diamond expert Zack Stone from Steven Stone tells Marie Claire.

"This isn’t Hailey’s first foray into bubble jewellery; she sparked a trend last summer with a striking 'B' initial pendant designed by Alex Moss. Likely a nod to the celebrity couples shared surname, we valued the striking piece at $50,000. Also by Alex Moss, Hailey’s new piece isn’t as substantial in size, thus, I’d estimate it to be worth the lesser price of $25,000."

A bargain, then!

Hailey and Justin welcomed baby Jack in late August, after having revealed they were expecting back in May. At the time, the spouses posted a video and photos from their vow renewal ceremony, and Hailey's baby bump was visible.

The model and the popstar originally tied the knot back in 2018.

Baby Bieber is officially here, with Hailey and Justin announcing the happy news that they had welcomed a baby boy this weekend, breaking the news on Instagram.

"Welcome home Jack Blues Bieber," Justin posted to Instagram, alongside a sweet photograph of their new son's foot, which Hailey Bieber later shared to her Instagram Stories.

Unsurprisingly, the photograph has gone viral, raking in 10 million likes already, and heartfelt messages from a host of A-listers.

"I can't handle this little foot JACK BLUES," posted Kylie Jenner, while Donatella Versace commented: "Congratulations beauties!!!"

The couple announced that they were expecting their first baby together in May this year, breaking the news in a social media video of their vow renewal, with Bieber, 27, proudly displaying her baby bump on camera.

And while the couple has been married since 2018, the news came as a surprise to many fans, with both Hailey and Justin making it clear that they wanted to wait for the right time to start a family.

"Hailey still has some things she wants to accomplish as a woman," Justin explained to Ellen DeGeneres back in 2020. "I think she just is not ready yet, and I think that's OK. I'm going to have as many as Hailey is willing to push out. I’d love to have myself a little tribe. It's her body and whatever she wants to do.”

A source close to the couple opened up about the situation earlier this year, telling Us Weekly that the Rhodes founder in particular “didn’t want to rush” into having a baby.

“Although she always knew she wanted to have a baby, she didn't want to rush things after getting married,” the source explained. “She wanted to make sure they could enjoy their alone time together as a couple."

“They have wanted this for a long time and can't wait to expand their family and bring a child into the world,” another source added via Entertainment Tonight.

“Hailey and Justin are united and have been on the same page when it comes to parenthood. They have experienced so much together as a couple and feel ready to take this next step in their lives and relationship.”

Huge congratulations are in order for Hailey and Justin Bieber!

Hailey Bieber is one of the most talked-about women in the world, and from her marriage to Justin Bieber to their 2024 pregnancy (and viral announcement), she never fails to make headlines.

Yes, the 27-year-old Rhodes founder has been front and centre, something that she candidly explained this week has actually had a negative impact.

This is chiefly down to the endless speculation around her marriage, with the mother to be recalling the negative rhetoric around her relationship with Justin Bieber from the start.

"People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one," Bieber explained in a recent interview with W Magazine, going on to recall the hurtful rumours that have plagued their relationship.

"Oh, they're falling apart. They hate each other. They're getting divorced," she listed.

"It's like people don't want to believe that we're happy," she continued. "I used to try to act like it hurts less and less. I've tried to think that you get used to it at a certain point, that this is what's going to be said and this is how people are going to be. But I realise that it doesn't actually ever hurt any less."

This is not the first time that Bieber has opened up about the negative rhetoric around her relationship, explaining previously that it was a serious consideration for her when having children.

"I want kids so bad, but I get scared,” Bieber exlained in a conversation with The Sunday Times last year. “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.

"We can only do the best we can to raise them," she later continued. "As long as they feel loved and safe."

We will continue to update this story.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber are absolutely loving the experience of expecting their first baby together.

"Justin has been so affectionate and loving toward Hailey and can’t wait for the next phase in their lives," a source told Us Weekly amid Hailey's pregnancy. "Their bond is stronger than ever."

The insider also said: "Hailey is ecstatic and soaking up every moment of her pregnancy," adding that she's working hard on the baby's nursery so it will be ready in time for the little one's arrival. "It’s a lot of neutral colours and it’s a classic design with a modern touch," the source explained.

A second source told the publication: "Overall, Hailey has been feeling great. She hasn’t stopped working and is finishing up her latest launch before she takes time off from travelling."

And Hailey and Justin's relationship? "They’ve come a long way and are in a really great place right now," the second source added.

The supermodel announced in May she was expecting her first child with the popstar, posting a video and photos of their vow renewal ceremony — featuring her baby bump.

Shortly after, a source explained to Us Weekly that Hailey hadn't wanted to get pregnant too early into her marriage to Justin. "Although she always knew she wanted to have a baby, she didn’t want to rush things after getting married," the insider said.

The two have been married since 2018, and have always been open about wanting children together when the time was right for it.

Meanwhile, not only has Hailey's pregnancy made her, her husband and her family extremely happy, but it's also been great to watch from afar — especially when it comes to her stunning pregnancy looks, which are no doubt on every stylish mum-to-be's mood board right now.

The pregnancy has also been providing us with some light entertainment, like when we found out from Hailey what her biggest pregnancy craving was: "egg salad on top of a pickle with hot sauce." We won't lie, that might be one thing Hailey won't be influencing us on.

Justin and Hailey Bieber are expecting their first baby together, with the couple announcing the exciting news last week. 

The couple broke the news in a social media video of their vow renewal, with Bieber, 27, proudly displaying her baby bump on camera. 

The couple originally tied the knot back in 2018, and while they have both spoken about wanting to start a family in the past, they have been clear about wanting to do so “when the time is right".

"Hailey still has some things she wants to accomplish as a woman," Justin Bieber explained to Ellen DeGeneres back in 2020. "I think she just is not ready yet, and I think that's OK. I'm going to have as many as Hailey is willing to push out. I’d love to have myself a little tribe. It's her body and whatever she wants to do.”

"I want kids so bad, but I get scared,” Hailey Bieber added in a conversation with The Sunday Times last year. “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.

"We can only do the best we can to raise them," she later continued. "As long as they feel loved and safe."

“Hailey and Justin are united and have been on the same page when it comes to parenthood. They have experienced so much together as a couple and feel ready to take this next step in their lives and relationship.”

We will continue to update this story.

Last week, Hailey and Justin Bieber announced that they are expecting their first child together. The couple, who have been married since 2018, shared their baby news on social media with a series of photographs where they can be seen renewing their wedding vows, with the Rhode beauty founder gently cradling her bump.

Alongside the images and short video, Hailey simply tagged her husband and several celebrities were quick to send their congratulations, with everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to Kaia Gerber posting their well wishes.

The couple has previously spoken about their desire to start a family, but insisted they would only do so 'when the time was right' with Justin telling Ellen DeGeneres in 2020: "I think she just is not ready yet, and I think that's OK. I'm going to have as many as Hailey is willing to push out. I’d love to have myself a little tribe. It's her body and whatever she wants to do."

Last year, Hailey explained that she 'want kids so bad, but I get scared' during an interview with The Sunday Times, adding: "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. We can only do the best we can to raise them. As long as they feel loved and safe."

It has been reported by TMZ that Hailey is around six months pregnant, and while neither Hailey nor Justin have confirmed this, if accurate it would mean that they could welcome their first child at the end of the summer. But one thing that Hailey has spoken about is her unusual pregnancy cravings.

Taking to Instagram earlier this week, she shared a photo of what she is currently enjoying - egg salad with pickles and hot sauce. She wrote on the image: "Currently my biggest craving. Egg salad on top of a pickle with hot sauce, and no you’re not allowed to judge."

On X, formerly Twitter, many of her fans chimed in to share their thoughts - and while some people admitted that they'd eat it regardless of whether or not they were pregnant, others found it a little unusual.

One person wrote: "I’m not even pregnant and I’d devour that lmao."

A second added: "Pregnancy cravings can be so random. I remember my friend craving pickles and ice cream together."

The couple is reportedly over the moon about the arrival of their first child together, with a source telling PEOPLE: "Everyone is excited for them. They will be great parents, and Justin will be super involved. This will be the next important project for him. He’s so excited to raise his baby. They have a name that they think is perfect. They’re also starting to decorate a nursery. They can’t wait to meet the baby."

Congratulations to Hailey and Justin!

Justin Bieber didn't accompany his wife Hailey Bieber to the actual Oscars on Sunday, but he did join her at the Vanity Fair after-party.

"He came in a back entrance and met Hailey inside," an insider told Page Six.

People who saw Justin during the event thought he might have been having an off day, because he didn't look on top form, apparently.

"Justin did not look well. He was hunched over and wearing a blanket," said one source, while another added that he looked "tormented."

It will have been late by then, so perhaps Justin was just quite tired — we know we would have been if we were in his shoes.

Meanwhile, Vanity Fair described the singer's arrival as follows: "Justin Bieber, wearing what appeared to be a quilted blanket on his back, arrived with his wife, Hailey Bieber, and immediately went up to Clippers star Russell Westbrook, who was clad in head-to-toe Thom Browne." (The Clippers are a Los Angeles basketball team, for the uninitiated among us.)

The blanket is clicking with the "he was tired" theory, and honestly, we can only admire a man who knows how to stay cosy even on a night out.

That said, of course the rumour mill is now going into overdrive - speculating whether the drama supposedly involving Justin's wife Hailey and his ex Selena Gomez might have understandably stressed him out a bit.

In case you missed that whole chapter, here's the deal: there has been a lot of rumoured drama between Hailey, Selena and the Jenner sisters Kendall and Kylie recently.

Among other things, fans thought Hailey, Kendall and Justine Skye were "shading" Selena, because soon after the latter was publicly body-shamed, they lip-synced over a TikTok sound that said: "I'm not saying she deserved it, but I'm saying God's timing is always right." Hailey subsequently deleted that video.

There were two other incidents as well: one involving Hailey and Kylie, and one involving Hailey and Taylor Swift (whom Selena defended). We won't go into detail about these ones, but you can read all about it over here.

At one point during this saga, Selena even briefly deactivated her TikTok, saying it was all a bit too much for her.

By the way, Selena herself skipped the Vanity Fair bash, but it wasn't to avoid the Biebers at all — it just clashed with her work schedule.
