Baby, baby, baby oh! The Biebers are expanding their family.
After months of speculation, Justin and Hailey Bieber took to Instagram this morning, revealing the rumours are true; they are set to welcome their first child.
Posting a short captionless video to the social media platform, Hailey can be seen dressed in a lace skin-tight gown as the pair appear to renew their vows. The camera then zooms in on Hailey’s belly revealing a baby bump.
Other images in the carousel show Hailey posing in a lace white dress, showing off her bump as Justin takes a photo of her.
The couple haven’t been shy in expressing their desire to have kids together one day, however both noted that they would do it in due time.
One moment that had fans anticipating a baby announcement came at the end of 2020 when they sat down for the Amazon Prime documentary Justin Bieber: Our World. While engaging in a candid conversation, the now 30-year-old popstar told his now 27-year-old wife, “My intention for 2021 is to continue to set goals and have fun while doing them. Make sure I put my family first. And, hopefully, we squish out a little nugget.”
The revelation appeared to surprise the model who replied: “In 2021?!” Justin responded: “The end of 2021? We start trying?”
While the pair have spoken multiple times about their intentions of starting a family together, Hailey has also been candid about her reservations.

Speaking to the Sunday Times’ Style magazine last year, the daughter of Stephen and Kennya Baldwin confessed: “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.
She added: “We can only do the best we can to raise them. As long as they feel loved and safe.”
Elsewhere, Ellen DeGeneres jokingly asked Justin about the “hold up” on the couple’s baby plans in 2020 with the singer explaining there are things they both want to achieve first before expanding their family.
“I think the issue - there’s not really an issue - I think Hailey still has things she wants to accomplish as a woman and I think she just wants to - I just think she’s not ready yet and that’s OK,” he said.

Taken as selfies, the two photos were snapped from a close-up angle with two streams of tears visibly running out of his eyes. Justin also appeared to be quite upset and red-faced, and the photos hinted the singer had become emotional over something important.
Justin had his followers worried about his mental health after he posted the emotional pictures on Instagram. However, Hailey quickly cleared up any rumours surrounding a potential marriage split by commenting: “A pretty crier.”
Justin and Hailey first sparked romance rumours in 2014 however it wasn’t until 2018 when they began seriously dating. Just two months after their engagement, they tied the knot at a New York City courthouse in September 2018.
