LOS ANGELES – Pop titan Justin Bieber and his model wife Hailey are going to be parents, the couple announced on May 9.
The pair posted pictures of the 27-year-old American fashionista and businesswoman cradling her baby bump while wearing a sheer lace dress.
Followers of the couple’s separate social media accounts were also treated to a video that apparently shows them renewing their vows at an open-air ceremony.
The video shows Hailey, daughter of American actor Stephen Baldwin, in a passionate kiss with her Canadian megastar husband.
Other pictures show Bieber, 30, taking photos of his pregnant wife in what appears to be a tropical setting.
The Instagram posts come weeks after the couple were spotted in Hawaii, with Hailey wearing a flowing dress that covered up her usually svelte figure, sparking online speculation that she might be expecting.
Entertainment outlet TMZ, quoting “sources with direct knowledge”, said the pregnancy was over six months along.
Bieber first shot to global stardom as a teen pop sensation in 2009, and has since churned out hits that include the mega-selling Baby (2009), featuring American rapper Ludacris, and Somebody To Love (2010).
His army of fans, known as “Beliebers”, have helped make him one of the best-selling artistes of all time.
Hailey has modelled in campaigns for major brands such as Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger.
She has her own brand, Rhode, which sells skincare and make-up. AFP
