JUSTIN Bieber’s fans think they’ve spotted another clue that he and wife Hailey have secretly welcomed their first child together.
On Wednesday, August 21, Justin, 30, shared a prayer for guidance written by “my broski” and Churchome leader Judah Smith on Instagram.
Justin and wife Hailey, 27, have been members of the non-demonimational church for many years, and were recently spotted attending the congregation’s service in Beverly Hills, California.
Justin’s fans interpreted his Instagram post as confirmation that Hailey has secretly given birth to her and Justin’s baby, as they continue to await an official announcement from the couple.
“Is the baby here yet?” one fan comment under Justin’s latest post read.
Another person commented, “I hope you and your family are well. so much love for you guys.”
Hailey first confirmed her pregnancy in May 2024, when the Rhode founder shared the news on Instagram with a video and series of photos alongside Justin.
By the time Hailey went public with her pregnancy, she was already six months along, as fans began counting down to her due date around the end of August or early September.
Fans following her pregnancy journey became convinced that Hailey secretly gave birth earlier this week, noting that she’s largely stayed off social media throughout the month of August.
GOING OFFLINE
Her last Instagram post was from a promotional campaign for YSL Beauty that was shared on 31 July.
On August 19, Hailey teased a “surprise” while promoting her skincare company Rhode on Instagram Stories, further fueling fan speculation that she and Justin had quietly become new parents.
While she initially hinted at making an appearance with her baby at a promotional event in Toronto, Canada, Hailey ultimately skipped the Rhode Photo Booth event on August 20.
Meanwhile, husband Justin faced criticism after the Yummy singer was recently photographed leaving a birthday party in Los Angeles at 3 am, with Hailey either fast approaching – or past – her due date.
Fans called Justin out on a Reddit thread, after he was spotted in photos from musician Harv’s birthday celebrations at LA hotspot The Nice Guy over the weekend.
“At this point, Hailey is either going to give birth any day now or she recently gave birth,” one critical fan comment read.
“Either way – if my partner was like ‘Hey I’m going to go to a party’ when I’m in that situation, all hell would break loose,” the Reddit user continued.
