Hailey spoke about starting a family with Justin back in 2021, saying: “We always knew that we were aligned on what we wanted in our future.
“We had talked about wanting to be married young and having a family young and building a life. Even before we knew we wanted to be with each other.”
Whilst it’s not been confirmed how far along Hailey is, according to TMZ, she was just over six months pregnant when they announced the news, so baby Bieber could arrive at the end of summer, possibly this month or next.

Hailey, has also been called a nepo baby herself, as a result of her famous parents Stephen and Kennya Baldwin.
Her father is an American actor and film producer, whilst her mother is a graphic designer whose father is Grammy-winning musician Eumir Deodato.
Edward explained that Hailey's child will have their own brand as soon as they exit the womb, as he added: “From birth, they'll have a globally recognised brand, thanks to their famous parents.

“Growing up in the Bieber household means they'll have access to elite social circles and incredible networking opportunities.

What is a Nepo Baby?
A 'nepo baby' is a colloquial term used to describe individuals who have gained opportunities or success in their careers primarily due to familial connections or the influence of their well-known or wealthy parents, rather than solely through their own talent, skills, or efforts.
The term 'nepo' is short for 'nepotism', which refers to favouritism granted to relatives or close friends, often in a professional context.
Key Characteristics:
- Inherited advantage: Nepo babies often benefit from their family's established reputation, wealth, or industry connections.
- Access to networks: They typically have easier access to influential networks and resources within their chosen field.
- Public perception: The term can carry a negative connotation, implying that their success is not entirely merit-based.
Industries Affected:
- Entertainment: Many actors, musicians, and other performers are often labeled as nepo babies if they have famous parents.
- Business: Individuals who inherit or are given significant roles in family-owned businesses.
- Politics: Politicians who follow in the footsteps of their parents or other relatives.
Examples:
- Children of famous actors who become actors themselves.
- Heirs to business empires who assume executive roles.
- Offspring of political figures who enter public office.
The concept of nepo babies is often debated, with some arguing that it undermines the notion of meritocracy.
Meanwhile, others believe that it is natural for families to support and help each other succeed.
Edward claimed that the Bieber child will have access to top schools and tutors, as he continued: “Education won't be an issue either; they'll have access to the best schools and private tutors, setting them up for success in any field they choose.”
Not only this, but Edward shared the role social media will play, as he explained: “Social media influence is another huge factor.

“With millions of followers from day one, they'll have a massive platform for endorsements, partnerships, and personal branding.”
Not only will the baby have followers, but this will lead to revenue too, as Edward concluded: “This influence can translate into substantial revenue streams.
Justin and Hailey Bieber's relationship
JUSTIN and Hailey Bieber seem to be putting speculation about the state of their marriage to rest with their loved-up pregnancy announcement.
And Justin is all in, showing off his protective side and embracing his role as a dad-to-be, according to a body language expert.
But while the singer's come under fire for his sloppy style before — fans have called it "embarrassing" and disrespectful — body language expert Judi James said that Justin's now showing his commitment.
"The good news in terms of Justin’s role here is that he is not being paraded as the kind of marital show pony that many A-list husbands tend to when the formal photos are being taken," James told The U.S. Sun.
"Although Hailey is swathed in bliss and acres of white lace, Justin is still within his comfort zone of baseball cap and baggies and his pose looks relatively relaxed as he gazes at her.
"Hailey has often looked like the confident protector in their relationship.
"But here Justin is seen looking taller and bending his head to kiss Hailey while cupping her face in his hands, suggesting he has stepped up into a more protective role."
That kiss, in particular, says a lot, according to James.
"A face-cupping kiss is the most romantic," she said.
"And their facial expressions look serious as they kiss, suggesting a desire to register emotional intensity."
They're also showing a united front, she added.
"We can see Hailey cupping her bump in one ‘headless’ pose while Justin stands behind her and cups it too, to show unity," she said.
"His hand is placed close to her bump while her hand lays on top of it in an endorsement gesture, suggesting an emphasis on the pregnancy being a shared experience for Justin."
All in all, James said the shoot looks like an "emotional re-set" for the couple.
She suggested they paid "almost forensic attention" to creating a "romantic collide" in the vow renewal shoot.
"Their body language seems to signal a sense of completion for Hailey," she went on, who "has gone back in time visually and virtually to create the narrative of bringing her baby to their wedding."
James also highlighted the "non-verbal symbolism" that Justin and Hailey are "welcoming the baby into their own private world of idyllic marriage."
"Hailey seems to be telling her fans that she is totally happy with
absolutely everything in her life," she said.
"[That] could be an important statement from her given the recent speculation after things like Justin’s tearful social media post."
“And let's not forget the potential for business ventures.
“With their name and fame, launching a fashion line, beauty brand, or tech startup seems almost guaranteed to succeed.
