Hailey Bieber shocked fans when she announced that she was six months pregnant with her and her husband Justin Bieber‘s first child in May.
And now the Rhode skincare founder, 27, is sharing how she was able to keep it a secret for so long.
She told W magazine this week that her lack of a baby bump was a big help.
‘I was honestly able to keep it quiet because I stayed small for a long time,’ Hailey explained.
‘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.’
Hailey continued: ‘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.’
Before going public, the wife of Justin Bieber felt she was ‘hiding this big secret, and it didn’t feel good.
‘I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.’
Hailey broke the pregnancy news on May 9, 2024 with an Instagram video of her and Justin renewing their wedding vows in Hawaii – with her bridal gown hugging her burgeoning belly.
WHAT IS THE GENDER OF HER BABY?
The couple — who will celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary in September — have yet to reveal the sex of their unborn baby.

But the brunette beauty dished on her cravings, morning sickness and how she’s avoided turning to the internet for pregnancy advice to W magazine.
HER CRAVINGS
Hailey explained that she’s on a protein-packed pregnancy diet that includes ‘lots of eggs, chicken, and steak.’
But that she also enjoys premade items from the Los Angeles health food store Erewhon – a favorite of celebrities – and the trendy beverage kombucha.
