In a touching nod to Justin’s family, the Biebers chose to name their son Jack Blues Bieber. His name is extra special, as it follows a Bieber family tradition to have names with the initials “JB.” It’s a pattern that runs deep, starting with Justin’s father, Jeremy Bieber, and continuing with Justin himself and some of his siblings. Even Justin’s half-siblings, Jazmyn and Jaxon, sport the same initials.
But the family connections don’t stop there. The newborn’s first name, Jack, is also a tribute to Justin’s father, whose middle name is Jack.
The news of baby Jack’s arrival had the whole Bieber clan buzzing with excitement. Justin’s mom, Pattie Mallette, couldn’t contain her joy, tweeting, “CONGRATULATIONS @justinbieber & Hailey. I LOVE YOU FOREVER BABY JACK!!” Hailey’s father, Stephen Baldwin, joined in on the celebration by resharing Mallette’s tweet and adding his own thoughts. “Amen, Congratulations to you and may God continue to bless our family,” he wrote on X.
For those keeping track, Justin and Hailey first announced they were expecting back in May 2024. At the time, Hailey was already over six months along, which explains why the news of baby Jack’s birth may have appeared to come out of nowhere for many fans.
A source close to the couple revealed that while the Biebers were so excited when they found they were expecting, they wanted to make sure to keep the pregnancy under wraps for awhile. “When they found out that Hailey was pregnant, it was just the best day for them,” the source told People. They have both been very emotional about it. They feel so blessed. They’ve also felt very protective of the baby from the moment they found out.”
The source went on to share that “they shared with family and close friends early on. It was important for them to keep it quiet and just enjoy for as long as possible before they publicly confirmed though. They asked their friends to not share until they were ready to announce.”
In a recent interview with W Magazine, Hailey opened up about the challenges of keeping her pregnancy a secret for so long. “I probably could have hid it until the end,” she admitted. However, the stress of concealing such big news took its toll on her. “I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy outwardly,” Hailey shared, adding that she felt like she was “hiding this big secret, and it didn’t feel good.”
As for the newly-minted parents, they seemed more than ready for this new chapter. Just weeks before Jack’s arrival, Justin shared a series of romantic photos featuring Hailey and her growing baby bump. The images showed the couple embracing each other and sharing some sweet moments together before officially becoming parents, with Hailey glowing in a form-fitting red mini dress.
The Biebers, who first tied the knot in a New York City courthouse in September 2018 before celebrating with a larger ceremony in South Carolina, have now embarked on their most exciting adventure yet—parenthood. With baby Jack joining the family, it looks like the Bieber family name is set to continue for another generation.
