Inside the First Year of Hailey and Justin Bieber as Parents Amid Constant Divorce Rumors
Let’s just get this out of the way—no one *really* needs to know how a celebrity changes a diaper. But if you’re going to throw yourself into the chaos of parenthood while simultaneously fielding daily divorce speculation, you better pack some emotional armor. Enter Hailey and Justin Bieber, who somehow managed both in their first year with baby Jack Blues Bieber. Because nothing says “domestic bliss” like raising an infant while the internet insists your marriage is crumbling faster than a poorly timed quiche.
For those who missed the headlines (or chose not to live vicariously through every tabloid whisper), the Biebers welcomed their son on August 22, 2024. And if you thought that would quiet the online peanut gallery? Oh, sweet summer child. Hailey, ever the realist, told Vogue that being postpartum was “the most sensitive time I’ve ever gone through,” and trying to process that while reading endless breakup rumors felt like “a mindf–k.” Honestly, we believe her. The internet is already brutal pre-baby. Post-birth? It’s like stepping into a ring with a swarm of emotionally unhinged bees.
But let’s be clear—this isn’t some tragic tale of marital collapse. Far from it. Justin, for one, seems thrilled with his new role. He told Vogue, “I’m walking in the days I always dreamed of.” Cue eye roll. Sure, Justin. We all dream of sleepless nights, spit-up on vintage hoodies, and midnight Google searches about whether your baby’s poop color means imminent death. But hey, if he’s happy, who are we to judge?
Hailey, meanwhile, has taken a more grounded approach. She called Jack “my priority” and admitted they rarely take him out in public. Understandable. Paparazzi chasing a stroller sounds like a low-budget horror movie no one asked for. And yes, while she and Justin have kept Jack’s face largely hidden from social media, they did give fans a peek in the music video for “Yukon,” which dropped last August as part of Justin’s surprise album Swag. So, if you were waiting for a family-friendly cameo in a pop ballad, your prayers were answered.
And speaking of careers, Hailey had a pretty big year herself. She sold her skincare brand Rhode Skin to e.l.f. Beauty in a deal reportedly worth $1 billion. That’s right—while most of us struggle to assemble IKEA furniture without crying, Hailey was closing billion-dollar deals. She even thanked Justin at the Daily Front Row’s Fashion LA Awards, calling him her biggest supporter. Aww. Real love or red carpet fluff? You decide.
Of course, none of this comes without its fair share of personal challenges. Hailey opened up about postpartum hemorrhaging, depression, and body dysmorphia. She said she constantly reminds herself, “You grew a human. You birthed a human. It’s okay. Give yourself grace.” Which honestly should be printed on every postpartum mom’s coffee mug. Meanwhile, Justin processed things the only way he knows how—by writing songs. On “Walking Away,” he croons, “Baby, I ain’t walking away,” which is either deeply romantic or deeply performative, depending on your level of cynicism.
So where does this leave the Biebers? Still married. Still rich. Still famous. Still dealing with people who think their life is a soap opera written by Twitter. But hey, at least now they have Jack to distract them from the madness. Or maybe he’s the reason they need the distraction. Either way, welcome to the club, kid.
