After keeping her pregnancy under wraps for several months, reportedly around six by now, Hailey Bieber is now ready to share more glimpses of it.
The Rhode founder and her husband Justin Bieber, who exchanged vows in 2018, announced last week that they were expecting their first child together, simultaneously revealing their vow renewal.
With news of their forthcoming bundle of joy now public, the soon-to-be first-time mom is eager to showcase her growing bump.
Hailey took to Instagram on Wednesday and shared her first post since announcing her baby news, featuring a series of photos capturing recent moments.
The first was a selfie highlighting her radiant skin, followed by a snapshot of her viral Rhode phone case, and then what everyone had been waiting for: her first public pregnant selfie!
In the endearing picture, Hailey is clad in a pink Y2K-style butterfly crop top, with her hand placed gently under her belly.
She also shared a couple of similar photos in the same outfit, accentuating the bump with low-rise blue jeans.
Additionally, she posted another photo of herself lounging, enjoying an iced coffee, dressed in an oversized white t-shirt pulled up just above her stomach.
She captioned the post with: “The past few weeks have been…” followed by a bird hatching emoji, plus one for a palm tree, sleepy face, sunset, and pink flower, among others.
Fans and celebrities alike were then quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush about the pics, with good friend Kylie Jenner writing: “Cutest,” as fashion editor Chrissy Rutherford added: “Can’t wait for all the pregnancy fits!!” Others followed suit with: “You’re glowing. So beautiful,” and: “So excited for baby Bieber,” as well as: “The cutest bump!!!”
To announce her, some might say, highly-anticipated pregnancy, Hailey donned a vintage Saint Laurent off-the-shoulder lace dress with a matching veil.
She had previously opened up about the seemingly never-ending chatter about her plans to start a family in an interview with GQ last year, where she shared: “Recently, everybody was like, ‘Oh, my God, she’s pregnant,’ and that’s happened to me multiple times before,” adding: “There is something that’s disheartening about, ‘Damn, I can’t be bloated one time and not be pregnant?’ It would be a lie if I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, I don’t give a [expletive].'”
Though she said at the time motherhood was something she “looks forward to,” she also maintained it would be a “private, intimate thing,” for her and her family. “It’s something that’s going to come when it comes. And it’s just, honestly, at the end of the day, so hilarious how much people [expletive] care.”
“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.”
She ultimately emphasized: “When there comes a day that that is true, you – as in the internet – will be the last to know.”
