Earlier this year, Hailey Bieber opened up about her pregnancy and the challenges of giving birth. Now, the proud mom has given her followers another intimate glimpse into her motherhood journey. On August 22, 2025, she and Justin Bieber celebrated their son Jack Blues Bieber’s very first birthday, sharing tender family photos on Instagram that immediately caught public attention.
The post showed Hailey’s softer side as she cradled Jack in a cozy, white-themed setting. Dressed casually in a white T-shirt and denim, her long brunette hair flowing, she pressed her nose gently against Jack’s head in a moment of pure affection. Another shot captured her lying on her back, laughing with joy as Jack sat on top of her, his small white T-shirt and diaper emphasizing his innocence. Her caption read: “1 year of you my beautiful boy. Happy 1st Birthday Jack Blues, you are joy personified.”
Fans quickly flooded the comments, many pointing out how much Jack resembles his famous father. Messages like “He’s a mini Justin 🥺” and “Justin’s twin!!!” poured in, alongside plenty of birthday wishes. But not every response was celebratory. Some users criticized the absence of Jack’s nanny in Hailey’s tribute, insisting she deserved acknowledgment for her role in his upbringing.
This isn’t the first time the Biebers have faced public scrutiny over their parenting. Months earlier, a viral Reddit video from one of their private getaways led to speculation about who was caring for Jack while they were away. Critics voiced concerns that too much reliance on nannies could interfere with the baby’s early bonding, while others expressed sadness that the couple might miss out on the joys of parenthood.
Still, Hailey has spoken openly about both the joys and difficulties of motherhood. In a May Vogue interview, she admitted that while she once thought she’d have several children by now, Jack arrived exactly at the right time for her and Justin. The pregnancy transformed her in unexpected ways: physically, she embraced the changes with yoga, strength training, and therapy, but emotionally, she found the adjustment more challenging.
She recalled the shock of realizing her life would never be the same: “You’re never going to just be an individual without a child ever again. And it’s not just you and your partner anymore.”
Hailey also shared details about Jack’s birth. Despite preparing carefully for a natural delivery, complications at 39 weeks forced her into an induction with Pitocin and a Foley balloon — a grueling process she described as “so crazy” and “not fun.” After 18 hours without an epidural, Jack was born weighing just over seven pounds, instantly changing her world.
Now, as Hailey and Justin celebrate their son’s milestone, the photos show not just their joy as parents but also the ongoing conversation around their journey — one filled with love, criticism, and the realities of raising a child in the spotlight.
