In a recent revealing conversation with The Sunday Times, Hailey Bieber, model and wife to pop sensation Justin Bieber, disclosed the couple's apprehension about becoming parents. Amid heightened discussions about their future as a family, the 26-year-old expressed her deep-seated concerns which have held the couple back from expanding their brood.
Hailey confessed to having a strong desire for children but admitted that the thought also provokes fear. She candidly stated, "I want kids so bad, but I get scared. It's enough that people say things about my husband or my friends. I can't imagine having to confront people saying things about a child." Hailey emphasized her commitment to providing a loving and safe environment for any potential offspring.
Justin Bieber had previously shared his excitement about having children during a 2020 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, stating his readiness to have as many children as his wife was comfortable with. The Grammy-winning singer further showed his respect for Hailey's autonomy, stating that the final decision rests with her as "it is her body."
The "Peaches" singer further elaborated that the couple's delay in starting a family was not due to any specific concerns but rather due to Hailey wanting to accomplish more in her career before embarking on the journey of motherhood.
The couple's deliberations on parenthood come amidst speculations of marital discord. Fans have recently speculated that Justin Bieber might be considering divorcing Hailey to rekindle his past relationship with Selena Gomez, even predicting a split on the couple's upcoming 5th anniversary.
However, these rumors have been subsequently dispelled, with the couple's previous interviews underscoring how such speculations have impacted their personal lives. Hailey Bieber notably mentioned on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast with Alex Cooper that she had been deeply affected by the wave of hate comments, leading her into a "really dark" emotional state.
The couple continues to remain strong despite the swirling rumors and continue their discussions about potential parenthood, which, while fraught with Hailey's fears, also holds the promise of a new chapter in their lives.
