Baby.
Now it’s much more than just a song title for Justin Bieber.
It also describes the new member of this artist’s family.
As you may have heard, Justin and his wife Hailey welcomed their first child on August 23, sharing the precious news via a very simple and adorable Instagram post.
“WELCOME BACK JACK BLUES BIEBER,” the 30-year-old wrote in a social media post… while sharing a close-up photo of his son’s foot.
Hailey, in turn, reshared the post on her Instagram Stories, adding along a bear and blue heart emoji.
We are SO excited for these two.
Many observers, however, have wondered whether there is any special meaning behind the first name. Jack — to which we can now respond as follows:
More or less.
It’s a tradition in the Bieber family, you know, to give the members initials JB.
There’s Justin Bieber… and his dad Jeremy Bieber… and Justin’s half-sister, Jazmyn Bieber… and then his half-brother, Jaxon Bieber, 14.
From what we can tell, there’s nothing behind the name Jack, even though it is his father’s middle name; however, it’s basically just a first name that Justin and Hailey seem to have agreed on, which follows that pattern.
After announcing the arrival of her son, Justin’s mother Pattie tweeted: “CONGRATULATIONS @justinbieber and Hailey. I LOVE YOU FOREVER BABY JACK!!”
Elsewhere, Hailey’s father Stephen Baldwin also shared Mallette’s tweet, adding:
“Amen, congratulations to you and may God continue to bless our family.”
The blessing of Jack’s arrival should put an end to these annoyances. Justin and Hailey divorce rumorsthat have been circulating on the Internet for a long time.
Justin and Hailey first announced they were expecting a child together in May, with a rep for the latter confirming the model was already six months pregnant at the time.
To their credit, the couple has been relatively quiet about the pregnancy — and, as you can see above, they chose NOT to reveal the newborn’s face.
In a recent interview with W Magazine, Hailey admitted that keeping her pregnancy a secret brought emotional challenges.
“I probably could have hidden it until the end,” she told this publication.
Bieber added that she “didn’t like the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy externally” and “I felt like I was hiding a big secret, and that wasn’t good… I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.”
We send our best wishes to Justin, Hailey and little Jack!
