Justin Bieber welcomes first child

The musician, 30, and his model-entrepreneur wife, 27, have welcomed their first baby together. Justin confirmed the news on Friday, Aug. 23.

“WELCOME HOME JACK BLUES BIEBER,” Justin wrote in an Instagram post. Hailey posted the same photo to her Instagram Stories soon afterwards with the child’s name a teddy bear and blue heart emoji.

Pattie Mallette, Justin’s mom, tweeted, “CONGRATULATIONS @justinbieber & Hailey. I LOVE YOU FOREVER BABY JACK!!”

Stephen Baldwin, Hailey’s dad, shared Mallette’s tweet, adding: “Amen, Congratulations to you and may God continue to bless our family.”

The couple first announced they were expecting a child together in May 2024, sharing the exciting news on Instagram. A rep for Hailey confirmed to PEOPLE that the model was just over six months pregnant at the time.

In the footage, Hailey, 27, donned a white lace Saint Laurent gown that accentuated her bump, while Justin, 30, wore an Atlanta Braves baseball hat with a black jacket and pants.

In one photo, Justin holds on to Hailey’s bump from behind as the couple share an embrace.

Since tying the knot in 2018, the couple have shared insight into their plans to expand their family. After all, Hailey teased to GQ that she was “looking forward” to motherhood last October—but not without some fears.

“I literally cry about this all the time!” Hailey admitted in a May interview with 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.”

Ultimately, she noted, “We can only do the best we can to raise them,” adding, “As long as they feel loved and safe.”
