Hailey Bieber is setting the record straight—again.
In a new Vogue interview, Hailey opened up about everything from motherhood and postpartum recovery to internet speculation about her marriage to Justin Bieber. Spoiler alert: she’s not moving out of L.A., and no, they’re not getting divorced.
“I read that one. There’s a new headline every two days that makes no sense. There’s no leaving LA for us. We love it here,” she said, brushing off the rumors that she and Justin were ditching the city.
Hailey also spoke candidly about the emotional rollercoaster of finding out she was pregnant and giving birth to their son, Jack Blues. “The pregnancy was difficult for me to wrap my head around. It was a surprise, and you go through a lot of emotions. There are certain warnings: Your life is never going to be the same again… There was a lot for me mentally.”
Labor wasn’t easy either. At 39 weeks, she began leaking amniotic fluid and had to be induced. “Giving birth was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” she said. After 18 hours of labor, she experienced postpartum hemorrhaging. “Which was a little bit scary,” she admitted. “I trust my doctor with my life. And so I had peace that I knew she would never let anything happen to me. But I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind.”
A medical device called a Jada helped stop the bleeding, but Hailey remembers the hardest part: “I wanted to hold my baby. I wanted to be with him.”
As for the idea of more children, she’s not making any promises just yet. “You’re never going to be just an individual without a child ever again,” she said. “Your partner is like, ‘My woman is a god. A superhero. I could never.’ At least that was the case for me.” Justin also chimed in, saying, “I’m walking in the days I always dreamed of.”
The couple has made a conscious choice to keep Jack out of the spotlight. “We don’t take him to a lot of places… It feels mean to put a baby into that,” Hailey said. “He’s my priority. He is the most important thing to me. It’s been my biggest teacher so far,” she added. “You see your partner so differently.”
Despite enjoying new parenthood, she’s still navigating public scrutiny and relentless speculation about her relationship. “I feel like I’ve fought so hard to try to get people to understand me… And people just don’t want to sometimes,” she said. “Imagine how trapping that feels.”
She said Justin has helped her keep perspective. “He was like, ‘Baby, trust me, I’ve been here before many, many times. You’re not going to win. There is no winning.’ ”
“It’s not real. And that’s the thing: I have a real life. My real life is that I get to wake up to my beautiful family…”
She summed it up perfectly: “Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I’ve ever gone through… and to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, They’re getting divorced and They’re not happy: It is such a mindf-ck.”
“I thought seven years in it would’ve already, and it hasn’t… So I guess these b**ches are going to be mad.”
