Canadian pop star Justin Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, have announced the arrival of their first child. In a touching Instagram post early Saturday morning, Bieber shared a photo of his newborn son’s tiny foot with the caption, “Welcome home.” The couple has named their son Jack Blues Bieber.
The announcement follows the couple’s pregnancy reveal in May, when they shared a video and photos of Hailey showcasing her baby bump in a white lace dress. Celebrities such as Katy Perry and Kylie Jenner were quick to extend their congratulations. Perry commented, “Your blessing has arrived,” while Jenner expressed her delight with, “I can’t handle this little foot.”
Hailey, a 27-year-old American model and founder of the skincare line Rhode, is the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and the niece of Alec, William, and Daniel Baldwin. The couple secretly married in New York in 2018.
Justin Bieber, who rose to fame at the age of 13 with hits like “Baby” and “Love Me,” had to cancel the remainder of his Justice world tour last year due to Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that can cause facial paralysis. He made a surprise appearance at Coachella last month, performing “Essence” with Nigerian artist Tems and Wizkid.
The announcement of Jack Blues Bieber’s birth marks a joyful new chapter for the couple, who have kept their personal lives relatively private despite their high-profile careers.
