Hailey Bieber is still balancing marriage and motherhood in the spotlight. The 28-year-old model and Rhode founder opened up about how she and husband Justin Bieber are juggling new parenthood and their relationship with their busy careers in a new interview with GQ. 'We're just taking it a day at a time,' Hailey began.
'We both feel very protective of our son and I don't think that's ever going to change, but our life is our life and it is really public, so I think we're just going to cross every bridge that we need to when we get there,' the Rhode founder continued. She shared that she was 'really comfortable' with the balance she and Justin, 31, have found with 'sharing things and not sharing things' about their relationship.
The Journey to Parenthood
Hailey shares son Jack Blues, 15 months, with Justin. When asked if there was anything she wished she knew before having a child, Hailey told the magazine that she didn't think there was 'anything someone can tell you about it that will ever, ever, ever prepare you until you do it yourself.' She added, 'And I think for me personally, there's so much unknown to it, but so much happens and so much changes and you evolve in a totally different way that you would never be able to prepare for until you do it.'
Supporting Each Other's Careers
Hailey then revealed how Justin supports her career as a beauty mogul — and uses her Rhode skincare products. 'My husband uses Rhode, and has since the beginning and loves it, and I have a lot of male friends that are obsessed with it and use it,' she said of her brand. Justin, known for hits like 'Sorry' and 'Peaches,' has also been a vocal supporter of Hailey's ventures on social media.
The couple's relationship has been under public scrutiny since they began dating in 2016. They got engaged in 2018 and married later that year in a New York City courthouse, followed by a larger celebration in South Carolina in 2019. Throughout their marriage, they have faced intense media attention, with rumors and speculation constantly swirling. Despite this, they have consistently presented a united front.
Balancing Fame and Family
Hailey previously said she was 'not ashamed' to admit she has help with her son Jack. During her appearance on the In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele podcast, the model opened up about leaning on her support system. 'I do have help,' she said. 'I have full-time help and I'm super not ashamed to say that, 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'm really grateful for that.'
'If he's not with me, he's with his dad,' she added, referring to Justin. 'He's always with his family, and he's always with one of us, or with his godparents.'
A Look Back at Their Relationship
Hailey Baldwin (now Bieber) first met Justin Bieber in 2009 through her father, actor Stephen Baldwin. They briefly dated in 2016 before splitting and getting back together in 2018. Their whirlwind romance led to a quick engagement and marriage. Since then, they have navigated the ups and downs of fame together.
Justin has been open about his struggles with mental health and past substance abuse, often crediting Hailey for her unwavering support. Hailey, too, has faced her own challenges, including a minor health scare in 2022 that turned out to be a transient ischemic attack (TIA). She has since become an advocate for health awareness.
Career Highlights
Hailey Bieber launched Rhode in 2022, and the skincare line quickly became a cult favorite. The brand is known for its minimalist, effective formulations and has expanded to include body care and lip products. Justin Bieber, meanwhile, continues to tour and release music, though he has taken a step back from the constant spotlight to focus on his family.
The couple's dynamic has evolved as they have grown older. From their early days as Hollywood's most talked-about young couple to now being parents, they have learned to prioritize their family over external opinions. In 2023, they welcomed their first child, Jack Blues, whose name was revealed in a heartfelt Instagram post.
Public Perception and Privacy
Hailey and Justin have often spoken about the difficulty of maintaining privacy while being two of the most recognizable people in the world. In interviews, Hailey has mentioned that she chooses to share only what feels authentic to her, and that she has no interest in airing their private matters publicly.
Justin echoed this sentiment in a 2024 interview, saying, 'We have a real life, and we want to keep it that way. Social media can be a trap, but we try to focus on our family and our faith.' The couple frequently attend church services together and have spoken about the importance of their Christian faith in their relationship.
Hailey, who grew up in the public eye as the daughter of Stephen Baldwin and niece of actors Alec and Daniel Baldwin, has developed a thick skin over the years. She acknowledges that being married to one of the biggest pop stars in the world comes with its own set of challenges, but she remains grounded.
Advice for Other Couples
When asked what advice she would give to other young couples navigating fame, Hailey emphasized communication and trust. 'You have to be each other's biggest cheerleader,' she told GQ. 'And you have to be willing to work through things. It's not always easy, but it's worth it.'
She also highlighted the importance of having a strong support system outside of the marriage. 'Your spouse can't be everything to you — you need friends, family, a community. That's something I've learned over the years.'
Hailey and Justin's story is far from over. As they continue to raise their son and build their careers, they are committed to taking life one day at a time — a philosophy that has served them well so far.
