Justin Bieber’s First Year as a Dad: A Deadpan Diary
It turns out hit singles and spit-up stains share more overlap than you’d expect. The pop phenomenon known for arena tours and chart-topping hooks quietly traded mic stands for baby bottles in August 2024, welcoming son Jack Blues Bieber with wife Hailey Bieber, according to E! Online. Back in 2020 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Justin famously declared, “I’m going to have as many as Hailey is wishing to push out,” proving that predicting fatherhood is easier than folding a fitted sheet.
The Rhode Skincare co-founder confessed to Vogue in May that Jack’s arrival was a surprise gift, but one she “really, really, really believe[s]” happened at the perfect time. Bieber himself admitted to Vogue he’s been “walking in the days I always dreamed of,” which is ironic given his dreams probably involved fewer 3 a.m. feedings. If anyone questions his commitment, just ask Usher—who told Entertainment Tonight in September that Justin treats parenting with “the level of love and commitment” he’s brought to every stage of his career.
Pattie Mallette, Bieber’s mom, added her two cents on Instagram just weeks before Baby Blues’s debut, praising her son’s lifelong dream of dad duties and predicting, “You’re gonna be the best daddy ever. You already are.” Meanwhile, Justin’s timeline doubles as a baby album, complete with a “Papa Bear” mug cameo, adorable crawl videos, and cryptic relationship musings—“tired of transactional relationships,” he mused on June 8.
Nothing says morning chaos like strapping a nine-month-old into custom Toronto Maple Leafs gear, but Bieber rolled out Jack’s first jersey and even hinted at future skate sessions at February’s Skate for LA Strong. Family time gets a themed spin too, with Kim Possible Halloween costumes and a sweet shout-out to Hailey on Mother’s Day. Work hasn’t paused for diapers: in May he unveiled a mini SKYLRK robe designed “for my baby Jack,” proving that merchandising is truly a 24/7 gig.
Protecting Jack from paparazzi has been another full-time project. Vogue reports Hailey quietly steers clear of public outings, noting it “feels mean to put a baby into that” invasive spotlight. And when gossip websites surfaced baseless drug rumors in May, Bieber’s rep promptly shut them down, reminding everyone that some stories are best left unclicked.
So there you have it: Justin Bieber’s first lap around the baby-block is complete—complete with surprise quotes, celebrity endorsements, branded onesies, and the occasional existential Instagram post. Stick around for more milestone updates, because nothing says “parenting journey” like a pop star in dad-mode. Well, there you have it. Tune in next time for more questionable life choices and diaper blowouts.
