Hailey Bieber is open about her feelings on expanding her family with husband Justin Bieber. While motherhood has been a whirlwind of unexpected changes – nothing truly prepares you for the reality of raising a child, according to the model and entrepreneur – she says she’s feeling more confident about another baby.
In an interview for GQ’s latest issue, Bieber candidly discussed the realities of being a first-time parent. Asked what advice she would give to expectant mothers, she acknowledged that no amount of preparation can fully equip you for the profound experience of raising a child. “There’s nothing anyone can tell you that will ever, ever, ever prepare you until you do it yourself,” she stated frankly.
However, with fourteen months of parenting under her belt, Bieber is ready to embrace the journey again. “But I feel much more prepared to do it again, as opposed to how not prepared I felt doing it for the first time,” she confessed. This experience of becoming a mother has significantly shaped her perspective and led to an evolving understanding of herself that no pre-parenting talk could have predicted.
Her desire for a larger family is no secret. Bieber previously expressed this sentiment on the “In Your Dreams” podcast, stating, “I know I want more than one.” While she isn’t rushing into it, their shared childhood experiences as only children solidified their wish to give Jack siblings. “Justin was an only child too, so all the conversations we’ve ever had about that is that we want our son to have [siblings],” she explained.
Balancing motherhood with her demanding career requires practical support, which Bieber openly acknowledges and embraces. “I’m someone who I always wanted to be a mom, so I’m super, super, super hands-on with my son. I do have help – I have full-time help – and I’m super not ashamed to say that,” she shared. “And I would never shy away from talking about that because I wouldn’t be able to have my career and do the things that I do without the help. And I feel really grateful for that.”
While a growing family is on the horizon, Bieber’s current life in Los Angeles prioritizes cozy simplicity. A typical day revolves around rising with her son, incorporating workouts whenever possible, and savoring home-based moments. “I’ve become a lot more of a homebody than I used to be,” she admitted, noting that motherhood naturally shifted her priorities away from “FOMO” – the fear of missing out. The preciousness of time spent with her rapidly growing son has deepened this realization.
Her days are centered around cherishing those early stages: “He’s growing so fast and it’s gone by so fast, and it starts to become more and more real how much you want to soak up that time.”
