A representative for Hailey Bieber confirmed to The Associated Press on Thursday that the model is just over six months pregnant.
The couple announced the news on their respective Instagram pages with corresponding posts. Both begin with a short, romantic video clip of the couple kissing.
Hailey Bieber is draped in white lace; baby bump prominent in the sheer, form-fitting fabric. It is followed up with a photo shoot of Justin Bieber photographing his wife. In each caption, they've tagged one another.
In a press release, fashion house Yves Saint Laurent says the video and photoshoot are from the Biebers' vow renewal ceremony on Thursday in Hawaii.
In 2018, the Biebers confirmed their long-rumoured marriage on Instagram, when the musician posted a picture of the pair holding hands and captioned it, "My wife is awesome.” Hailey changed her username from "Baldwin” to "Bieber” at the same time. They were engaged in the Bahamas earlier that year, after about a month of dating.
In addition to modeling, Hailey Bieber is the founder of a skincare line, Rhode. Justin Bieber, who rose to fame as a teenager, is a Grammy winner with eight No. 1 songs under his belt, including "Sorry,” "Love Yourself,” "What Do You Mean?” and "Despacito,” featuring Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. His last album, "Justice,” was released in 2021.
Followers of the couple's separate social media accounts were also treated to a video that apparently shows them renewing their vows at an open-air ceremony.
The video also shows Hailey, the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, ensconced in a passionate kiss with the Canadian megastar.
Other pictures show Bieber, 30, taking photos of his pregnant wife in what appears to be some kind of tropical setting.
Entertainment outlet TMZ quoting "sources with direct knowledge" said the pregnancy was over six months along.
Bieber first shot to global stardom as a teen pop sensation in 2009, since then churning out hits that included the mega-selling "Baby", featuring rapper Ludacris, and "Somebody to Love."
His army of fans, known as "Beliebers," have helped make him one of the best-selling artists of all time.
Hailey Bieber has modelled in campaigns for major brands like Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger. She now has her own brand — Rhode — which sells skincare and makeup.
