Hailey Bieber recently opened up about her intense postpartum journey, including a near-death childbirth experience and dealing with online hate while her husband Justin Bieber navigated “worsening mental health.”
A Challenging Road to Motherhood
Hailey and Justin welcomed their son, Jack Blues Bieber, last year, celebrating with a private vow renewal ceremony in Hawaii. Though Hailey had always dreamed of being a mother, she admitted to Vogue Italia that she “wasn’t ready for something like this at all” when her turn came.
She initially felt happy and loved her body during pregnancy. However, the postpartum phase brought unforeseen challenges. She described giving birth as “the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” and a scary early labor experience left a lasting impact.
A Frightening Childbirth Experience
Before her due date, Hailey began leaking amniotic fluid. Doctors decided to induce labor using oxytocin and a Foley balloon. She described this induction as “the most painful thing I’ve ever endured.”
While the birth of their son, Jack, was a relief, a serious scare followed. Hailey experienced a postpartum hemorrhage, a complication that can be life-threatening if not quickly managed. Despite the fear, she maintained “complete faith” in her doctor, who ensured her safety.
Hailey shared that Justin saw her as “a goddess, a superhero” after the birth, embracing his new role as a father with enthusiasm and telling her he was “living the life I’ve always dreamed of.”
Navigating Postpartum and Public Scrutiny
Beyond the physical challenges, Hailey also dealt with postpartum body dysmorphia. The constant online hate and false rumors about her marriage added immense pressure to an already vulnerable time.
She recounted scrolling through tabloids and finding cruel comments about her body or her relationship. “And having to do all this while constantly reading falsehoods on the internet like ‘They’re getting divorced’ or ‘They’re no longer happy together’ is something that really drives you crazy,” she explained.
Justin Bieber’s Mental Health and Family Life
Hailey addressed the speculation about Justin’s “worsening mental health” and dealing with a “spiralling mental disorder.” She emphasized that many headlines are “completely meaningless” and don’t reflect their reality.
She praised Justin as “an extraordinary father, a natural,” and a loving husband. The couple’s desire for privacy has grown, leading them to feel that Los Angeles has become “impossible” due to constant paparazzi presence.
Justin previously defended Hailey against public scrutiny, acknowledging her effortless style, business acumen, and how she makes being a mother and wife “look easy.” Their shared experience has strengthened their family bond.
