Hailey Bieber opens up about rumors surrounding her marriage with Justin Bieber, 'We both feel very protective of our son'

Hailey Bieber has offered a rare glimpse into her marriage with pop star Justin Bieber, addressing how the couple has been managing amid ongoing speculation about their relationship.

Speaking to E! News, the 27-year-old model shared, “We’re just taking it a day at a time. We both feel very protective of our son, and I don’t think that’s ever going to change. Our life is very public, so we’re just going to cross every bridge when we get there.”Hailey, who welcomed their son Jack in August 2024, added that she feels comfortable with how they choose to share—or not share—parts of their personal life. “As of right now, I feel really good about the balance between what we keep private and what we share,” she said.

Adjusting to Motherhood

Hailey also opened up about embracing motherhood, describing it as both transformative and unpredictable. “There’s nothing someone can tell you that will ever prepare you until you do it yourself,” she said. “But I feel much more prepared to do it again compared to how unprepared I felt the first time.”Reflecting on the changes motherhood brings, she added, “There’s so much unknown to it, but you evolve in a completely different way that you would never be able to prepare for until you experience it.”

Responding to Speculation and Scrutiny

Since tying the knot in 2018, Hailey and Justin have frequently faced rumors about their marriage. Addressing this, Hailey told Vogue in a May cover story, “I’ve fought so hard to get people to understand me or see me for who I am. But sometimes people just don’t want to, and there’s nothing you can do about that.”She noted how frustrating it can be to correct misinformation, adding, “I’ve tried to tell my side or correct a narrative, and people still say, ‘She’s lying.’

Imagine how trapping that feels.”

Navigating the Postpartum Period Under Public Gaze

Hailey also spoke about facing marriage rumors shortly after giving birth. “Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I’ve ever gone through, and learning a new version of myself is very difficult,” she said. “To be doing that while seeing people online say, ‘They’re getting divorced’ or ‘They’re unhappy’—it’’s such a mindfuck. It’s a crazy life to live.”
