Congratulations are in order for Justin and Hailey Bieber, as they’ve announced the arrival of their first baby.
The couple announced the arrival of their son via Instagram early on Saturday morning.
The post, shared to the Never Say Never singer’s account, showed off the foot of their new son.
Among the famous faces celebrating the news was US reality star and entrepreneur Kylie Jenner and singer Katy Perry.
‘I can’t handle this little foot,’ Jenner wrote, adding: ‘JACK BLUES.’
Fireworks singer Katy commented: ‘Your blessing has arrived.’
Kylie added: ‘I can’t handle this little foot JACK BLUES.’
Hailey is the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and niece of actors Alec, William and Daniel Baldwin, while Justin was discovered as a singer online aged 13 and went on to become a pop sensation with his hits including Baby, Love Me and Yummy.
The couple, who tied the knot in a secret ceremony in New York in 2018, announced the pregnancy earlier this year with video and images from a photoshoot of Hailey debuting her bump.
In a joint post sharing their news, the Baby singer, 30, could be seen cuddling up to the Rhode businesswoman, 27, during a surprise vow renewal in a secluded field.
Dressed in a stunning white lace gown, Hailey then stepped back to reveal her growing baby bump for the first time.
Other pictures showed the musician proudly taking pictures of his glowing wife, who cradled her stomach.
The lovebirds were inundated with congratulations, including a sweet message from Justin’s ex Sofia Ritchie.
Shortly after, Justin’s mother Pattie Mallette sparked speculation that the couple were expecting twins – a rumour she shut down pretty quickly.
Even a simple post about Hailey’s manicure prompted fans to suggest she was covertly revealing her baby’s sex.
Hailey didn’t announce their big news until she was six months pregnant in May, as she was able to hide her small bump using ‘big jackets’.
She told W magazine: ‘I was honestly able to keep it quiet because I stayed small for a long time.
‘I didn’t have a belly, really, until I was six months pregnant, which was when I announced it. I was able to wear big jackets and stuff.’
The Rhodes founder went on to admit she ‘probably could have’ kept the pregnancy a secret all the way through to the birth, but she didn’t like keeping such big news quiet.
She added: ‘I probably could have hid it until the end. But I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy outwardly.
‘I felt like I was hiding this big secret, and it didn’t feel good. I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.’
Hailey had hoped she could raise a child away from spotlight – but that all changed when she married Justin in 2018.
She previously told GQ: ‘It’s probably totally unavoidable. That was before I was married. Didn’t know who I was going to be married to at the time, I’m sure.
‘Maybe I liked the idea at 18 of not raising kids around certain things, but my life is so different now than it was when I was 18.’
‘It’s so hard to say what I’m going to do or not do when there isn’t even a child here yet. I don’t even know what it feels like to be a parent other than a dog parent yet. And that’s not the same thing, by any means.’
Reflecting on motherhood, she added: ‘It’s also such a private, intimate thing. It’s something that’s going to come when it comes.
‘Let me do what I want to do with my body and you guys can do what you want to do with your body – and let’s just let it be that.’
