Pop superstar Justin Bieber announced on Friday the birth of his son, Jack Blues, with his model wife, Hailey, in a post that quickly garnered millions of likes on Instagram.
“Welcome Home Jack Blues Bieber,” the Canadian singer posted, alongside a photo of the infant’s foot wrapped in a blanket, which has since received over 7 million likes.
The celebrity couple had announced in May that they were expecting, sharing pictures of 27-year-old Hailey, a fashionista and businesswoman, cradling her belly.
Justin Bieber, 30, first shot to global stardom as a teen pop sensation in 2009, producing hits such as the mega-selling
“Baby,” featuring rapper Ludacris, and “Somebody to Love.”
His devoted fanbase, known as “Beliebers,” has helped make him one of the best-selling artists of all time.
Fans were quick to congratulate the couple on Instagram, with one commenting, “Gotta play that song ‘Baby’ one more time.”
Justin’s mother, Pattie Mallette, also posted her congratulations to the couple on X, writing, “I love you forever baby Jack!!”
Hailey Bieber, daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, has modelled in campaigns for major brands such as Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger.
She now has her own brand, Rhode, which sells skincare and makeup.
In an interview with US outlet GQ in October, the model shared her excitement about becoming a mother, describing it as “a private, intimate thing,” and finding it amusing how much others cared.
“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… 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,” she was quoted as saying.
