For Hailey Bieber, the initial rhode to parenthood was best enjoyed in private.
It’s partly why the 27-year-old and husband Justin Bieber chose to keep her pregnancy a secret from the rest of the world until Hailey was sixth months into her journey.
“In the beginning, it was super emotional for me,” she told W Magazine in an interview published July 23 of spending time with Justin amid her pregnancy. “Like, ‘I love this human so much. How can I possibly bring someone else into this?’ I’m trying to soak in these days of it being Justin and me, just the two of us.”
Plus, maintaining their family’s privacy was only made easier by the way Hailey’s pregnancy presented itself.
“I was honestly able to keep it quiet because I stayed small for a long time,” she added. “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.”
However, keeping the news from the rest of the world eventually took its toll.
