Hailey Bieber Wants Kids With Justin, But Is “Scared” of Online Bullying

Hailey Bieber just opened up about the possibility of having a baby with Justin Bieber, admitting one of the reasons it hasn’t happened yet is because she’s “scared.”

The Rhode Skin founder discussed her potential future as a mother during a new interview with The Sunday Times, admitting that the prospect of motherhood in the public eye is something that often brings her to tears.

“I literally cry about this all the time!” Bieber semi-jokingly admitted to the interviewer before she got candid about her reservations. “I want kids so bad, but I get scared,” she continued. “It’s enough that people say things about my husband or my friends. I can’t imagine having to confront people saying things about a child.”

Earlier this year, Hailey Bieber confessed 2023 has been her “saddest, hardest” year ever, likely due to that exact kind of speculation she wants to shelter her future kids from. “I like to make jokes about how I feel because sometimes it’s easier than admitting I’m having a hard time,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “But truthfully, since 2023 started, I have had some of the saddest, hardest moments I’ve ever had in my adult life, and my mind and emotions have been fragile, to say the least.”

Amid her ongoing “feud” with Selena Gomez, which both parties have tried to put an end to for some time now, and following her hospitalization after suffering a mini-stroke, Bieber has been more open about her mental health than ever before, and her comments about motherhood are just the latest addition to the list.

That said, despite the initial fears, it looks like starting a family is definitely in the books for the Biebers, and when the time comes, Mrs. Bieber says they “can only do the best we can to raise them. As long as they feel loved and safe.”

This isn’t the first time the Biebers have spoken about their desire to expand their family. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in 2022, Bieber opened up about the ups and downs of marriage and said: “I know eventually, when kids come in the picture, that’s going to be a whole other season of navigating how to make that work.”

Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres in 2020, Justin Bieber also infamously claimed he’s willing to have “as many [kids] as Hailey is wishing to push out.” He added: “I’d love to have myself a little tribe. But, yeah, it’s her body and whatever she wants to do.”

The pop star shared that while his wife does want to have “a few” kids, she “still has some things she wants to accomplish as a woman. And I think… she’s just not ready yet. And that’s okay.” In 2021, however, during his concert film Justin Bieber: Our World, the Canadian singer admitted that one of his goals for the year was “squish out a nugget.” Looks like it could be a goal for 2024, as well.
