Since then, both Justin, 30, and Hailey, 27, have been open about their plans to start a family together. In October 2019, the \u201cLove Yourself\u201d singer hinted at his desire to have kids of his own one day by posting a video of a father playing with his baby, writing on Instagram at the time, \u201cThis is something I look forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Justin later said during a February 2020 interview with\u00a0Zane Lowe\u00a0that he and Hailey will start a family \u201cin due time,\u201d explaining how he wanted to \u201cenjoy being married for a little bit, go on tour, be married, enjoy traveling with just us,\u00a0build more of our relationship\u201d before taking the next steps. When\u00a0Ellen DeGeneres\u00a0jokingly asked about the \u201chold up\u201d on the couple\u2019s baby plans during Justin\u2019s appearance on her talk show that December, he replied, \u201cI think the issue\u2014there\u2019s not really an issue\u2014I think Hailey still has things she wants to accomplish as a woman and I think she just wants to\u2014I just think she\u2019s\u00a0not ready yet and that\u2019s OK.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C6wlW3WPoK2\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/C6wlW3WPoK2\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Hailey Rhode Baldwin Bieber (@haileybieber)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Justin also noted that he didn\u2019t have a set number of kids he wanted in mind: \u201cI am going to have as many as Hailey wishes to push out.\u201d He added, \u201cI&#8217;d love to have myself a little tribe, but yeah, it&#8217;s her body and whatever she wants to do.&#8221; The\u00a0pair went on to give fans a\u00a0glimpse of their family discussions\u00a0in the Amazon Prime documentary\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1115742\/justin-bieber-s-docu-series-revelations-hailey-bieber-marriage-anxiety-more\">Justin Bieber: Our World<\/a><\/em>. During a candid conversation, Justin told Hailey, &#8220;My intention for 2021 is to continue to set goals and have fun while doing them. Make sure I put my family first. And, hopefully, we squish out a little nugget.&#8221; &#8220;In 2021?!&#8221; a surprised Hailey asked, to which Justin responded, &#8220;The\u2026end\u2026of 2021? We start trying?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For her part, Hailey has always wanted to become a mom. On a November 2021 episode of the\u00a0<em>In Good Faith with Chelsea &amp; Judah Smith<\/em>\u00a0podcast, the model revealed that she and Justin, who first sparked romance rumors way back in 2014,\u00a0started talking about having kids\u00a0early on in their relationship. She recalled, &#8220;We were having pillow talk conversations, with him telling me my biggest goal in life is to have a healthy family. In my head, I&#8217;m just like, &#8216;I just don&#8217;t think that that is BS because he doesn&#8217;t have to say that. &#8216;We always had so many conversations about our goals, where we wanted to end up at a certain age. We always wanted to be married young and have a young family and have kids young.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a video on her YouTube channel in December 2021, Hailey opened up to fellow model\u00a0Rosie Huntington-Whiteley\u00a0about her plans to start a family. &#8220;I clearly know zero about being a mom,&#8221; she noted, adding, &#8220;but I\u00a0do want kids one day.&#8221; Congratulations to the Biebers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey have officially become parents!
