JUSTIN and Hailey Bieber have welcomed their first child together.
The pair, who first revealed they were expecting in May, shared the news with a photo of their baby boy.
Justin, 30, posted a photo of Hailey, 27, holding his son’s foot on Instagram, along with a sweet caption revealing their son’s name.
“WELCOME HOME,” he posted.
“JACK BLUES BIEBER.”
Hailey shared Justin’s post on her Instagram Story, adding, “Jack Blues,” with a blue heart and bear emoji.
While Justin did not provide any further details on the name, it appears to be significant to the star.
Justin’s great-grandfather was named Jack Arnold, and his father, Jeremy Bieber, has Jack as a middle name.
In the comments on Justin’s post, fans sent well wishes to the couple and congratulated them on the arrival of their son.
“Welcome to the world little Bieber,” gushed one fan.
“Little Bieber,” another fan shared.
“OMGGGGGGGGGG,” gushed a third.

“I love you so much so excited,” praised a fifth.
Others in the comments posted heart-eye emojis, blue hearts, and bears.
Besides the outpouring of love, fans also left several confused comments after Justin posted and deleted the photo several times.
“You delete it and posted it again, huh?” one commenter pointed out.
“STOP DELETING THE POST ALREADY !!!” demanded a second fan.
In May, the pop star and his wife announced they’d soon be a family of three by sharing a photoshoot on Instagram with the Rhode designer sporting a noticeable baby bump in a lace gown.

September 2018
November 2018
- Hailey changed her last name on social media from Hailey Rhode Baldwin to Hailey Rhode Baldwin Bieber.
September 2019
- Hailey and Justin had a wedding ceremony in front of their friends and family at the Montage Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, South Carolina.
Hailey was six months pregnant at the time, sources close to the couple claimed to TMZ.
The photos were taken at a vow renewal ceremony.
In one of the images, Justin and Hailey stood facing each other as a minister read from a Bible.
The couple held hands as they looked into each other’s eyes.
BOY OR GIRL?
The couple did not reveal the baby’s gender prior to his birth, though fans speculated about whether it would be a boy or a girl for months.
Earlier this month, Hailey posted photos from her baby shower that sparked major buzz.
One photo shared by the model showed the milk and berry cake served at the party.
Fans noticed a focus on the blueberries in the photo, rather than the reddish-pink strawberries, and took it as a sign that she was pregnant with a boy.
“Am i the only one thinking the baby is gonna be a boy because of the yellow box that is pointing [at] the blueberry not the strawberry?” someone on social media asked.
Then, Bieber fan and TikToker Cia Pia speculated that the baby’s name would be Plum Bieber, explaining her reasoning in a video.
She also guessed that Justin and Hailey were having a girl – a suggestion now known to be false.
BIRTH CLUES
Fans have been speculating Hailey gave birth before the announcement.
The model, who is always active on social media, recently slowed down her posts to solely promote her skincare and makeup line Rhode.
The last time she was spotted out was in early August.
Her husband also sparked birth rumors when he posted on Instagram earlier this month, “I believe this guided prayer will give you confidence and remind you that you can access your God-given authority to lead in your community, your workplace or your family.
“I hope this empowers you with clarity and direction as you set out in your journey of accepting and walking in the authority god gave you!”
His mother, Patti, posted on X, “With God all things are possible. Matthew 19.26.”
Fans were quick to speculate the post meant Hailey gave birth, as one fan tweeted, “Is baby Bieber among us?”
Another said, “Baby Bieber born?”
PREGNANCY SPECULATION
Hailey and the Baby singer had been dodging pregnancy rumors for months before the pregnancy announcement.
Speculation began mid-2023 and clues continued to mount in the months following.
Justin’s wife raised eyebrows in August after she was caught indulging in strange food combinations and sugary treats, which are common in various pregnancy diets.
More questions arose after Hailey was photographed repeatedly placing a protective hand over her stomach during a dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.
Around the same time, she again sparked pregnancy rumors while backstage at a Drake concert with her husband.
Stephen Baldwin’s daughter crossed her hands over her belly, which fans speculated were signs of a baby bump.
BABY BUMP
Hailey has been flaunting her baby bump throughout the pregnancy.
Since the big announcement, the Drop the Mic host has been sharing her pregnancy journey on social media.
In an Instagram post, Hailey shared a series of pics she took during the first half of summer.
Several photos included her fruits and vegetables nails, a pup pretending to drive a car, a picnic, and some pictures of herself.
In the first snap, the Rhode founder sat outside on blue pavement wearing an oversized Fila shirt and barely visible gray shorts as she showed off her rosy cheeks.
On the fifth slide, Hailey sat in a comfortable chair with her baby bump popping out of a skintight white crop top and denim overalls.
The model accessorized with gold earrings and had her huge diamond vow renewal ring on full display.
The final photo was another selfie of the skincare mogul wearing a blue and white tube top with some of her hair flipped to the other side as she pouted at the camera.
“Summer so far,” she captioned her post.
ROUGH RHODE
In June, Hailey showed off her growing baby bump in a selfie while also revealing the pain that she was going through due to her pregnancy.
Hailey posted a pic of herself on her Instagram Stories showcasing a minimal makeup look and enjoying the sunlight.
She had her hair slicked back while using a pair of black headphones.
The star positioned her phone near her face to flaunt her baby bump underneath a pair of high-waisted black shorts.
Hailey matched the skintight pants with a forest green half-zip sweatshirt.
However, the skincare mogul admitted to having pain during her pregnancy, writing, “So who was gonna tell me about the lower back pain?” she asked while also adding a few pregnant women and dizzy-face emojis.
