Model and singer Justin Bieber’s wife, Hailey Bieber, is always in the news, whether it is regarding her fashion or her personal life. Hailey recently revealed why she decided to not keep her pregnancy hidden. She also spoke about the constant scrutiny that her marriage faces.
Speaking to W magazine, Hailey said she chose to share the news of her pregnancy publicly to alleviate the stress of keeping it a secret: “I probably could have hidden it until the end, but I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to openly enjoy my pregnancy. I felt like I was hiding a big secret, and it didn’t feel good. I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.”
The model has also faced backlash and trolling, with the internet comparing her to Justin’s ex-partner, singer and actor Selena Gomez. She said her relationship is always under media scrutiny, “People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one. ‘Oh, they’re falling apart. They hate each other. They’re getting divorced.’ It’s like people don’t want to believe that we’re happy.”
“I used to try to act like it hurts less and less. I’ve tried to think that you will get used to it at a certain point, that this is what’s going to be said and this is how people are going to be. But I realise that it doesn’t actually ever hurt any less,” Hailey concluded.
