Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber recently welcomed their first child, a son named Jack Blues Bieber. Interestingly, they chose to incorporate a family moniker into their newborn’s name by giving him the middle name “Jack,” which happens to be the middle name of Justin’s father, Jeremy Bieber. This choice of name has sparked speculation about whether it was meant as an homage to Justin’s father, and the couple’s representatives have been contacted for confirmation.
Justin Bieber has been open about his relationship with his father, Jeremy Bieber, over the years. Despite not always having the closest relationship while growing up, Justin has shared that his father had to mature before fully stepping into a parenting role. In a 2015 interview with Billboard, Justin reflected on his father’s past actions, including leaving for a year when Justin was just 4 years old. Despite this, Justin has emphasized that his father has been present in his life, spending weekends and Wednesdays together.
While Justin has had a complex relationship with his father, his mother, Pattie Mallette, has remained a significant figure in his life. Mallette expressed excitement and joy when Justin and Hailey announced their pregnancy, eagerly looking forward to becoming a grandmother. She has continued to show her support for the couple, despite any past family dynamics.
Hailey Bieber, formerly Hailey Baldwin, has also shared insights into her own family dynamics. Despite her family’s excitement over her pregnancy, Hailey admitted that she is not super close with her family due to valuing her independence. However, she has fond memories of her childhood and upbringing, reflecting on the beauty of her past experiences.
Justin and Hailey have kept details about their son’s birth under wraps, including his birthdate. The couple, who have been married since 2018, are embarking on a new chapter in their lives as parents. While they have not made any personal announcement posts about the birth, Hailey reposted Justin’s announcement photo on her own Instagram Story. The couple renewed their vows earlier this year before disclosing their pregnancy news.
Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber’s journey into parenthood marks a significant milestone in their lives. The choice to incorporate a family moniker into their son’s name and the dynamics of their relationships with family members shed light on the complexities of familial bonds. As they navigate this new chapter, Justin and Hailey have shown that despite past challenges, they are embracing the joys and responsibilities of being parents.
