Prior to that announcement, the 27-year-old model opted to conceal her pregnancy due to the public’s scrutiny of her and Justin’s relationship, and to prioritize her peace.
“I probably could have hidden it until the end,” Hailey begins.
“I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy outwardly. I felt like I was hiding this big secret, and it didn’t feel good. I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.”
Now that the secret is out, Hailey is enjoying this phase of her life, and consciously working to nurture her growing family.
“I’m not super close with my family at this point in my life because I feel like I’m very independent. I’m my own individual now, and I’ve built my own family.”
In case you missed it
Before donning “Bieber” in 2019, Hailey grew up in the prominent “Baldwin” family.
Originally from Nyak, New York, Hailey recalls having a “fairly normal childhood.”
“Obviously, I come from the family that I come from, and I always recognized that that was different.”
Hailey is the youngest of Stephen Baldwin and Kennya Deodato Baldwin’s two daughters.
“When I look back on my childhood and how I grew up, I have very fond, beautiful memories.”
Baby Bieber is on the way, and Hailey is enjoying the last few moments of bliss with her popstar husband.
“In the beginning [of pregnancy], it was super emotional for me. Like, ‘I love this human so much. How can I possibly bring someone else into this?’” she says.
“I’m trying to soak in these days of it being Justin and me, just the two of us.”
While we don’t yet know the gender or exactly when the newest Bieber will make its grand entrance, we do know that Hailey was six months pregnant when she announced she was expecting.
