Hailey Bieber is looking back on a truly transformative year as 2024 wraps up. The 28-year-old Rhode founder and model had a monumental year, celebrating the birth of her first child, a son named Jack Blues, with her husband, Justin Bieber.
To mark this milestone, Hailey shared a heartfelt moment on Instagram on December 29, posting a black-and-white photo of herself gazing into the distance with her shirt lifted to show off her baby bump. She simply captioned the image with, “Thank you 2024,” followed by an angel emoji, reflecting on the joy and gratitude of the year.
Justin, 30, had previously revealed the arrival of their son in August with a sweet Instagram post. In it, he shared a picture of Hailey gently holding Jack’s tiny foot, wrapped in a blanket, with the caption, “Welcome Home.” He also introduced their son’s name, Jack Blues, which impressed fans for its classic and timeless feel, a departure from the more unusual celebrity baby names trending these days.
In the days following the announcement, sources close to the couple told Us Weekly that Justin has embraced fatherhood with joy and is becoming more hands-on. However, the source also mentioned that he is becoming more private and protective of his family, which has delayed any plans for a musical comeback.
Since Jack’s birth, Hailey and Justin have shared tender glimpses of their life with their newborn on social media. In November, Hailey posted a sweet photo of Jack snuggled up against her while taking a walk outdoors with Justin.
In addition to motherhood, Hailey has been balancing her entrepreneurial ventures, including her beauty brand, Rhode. She spoke in an October interview with Women’s Wear Daily about striving to maintain a healthy work-life balance by only taking on projects that align with her physical, mental, and emotional well-being. She affectionately refers to her brand as her “toddler,” highlighting how deeply she cares for and nurtures it.
Hailey’s father, actor Stephen Baldwin, also shared an update on Jack’s growth earlier this month. In an interview with TooFab, he described his grandson as growing rapidly and being as cute as a “plump potato.” It’s clear that Jack is a bundle of joy for the entire family as they welcome him into their lives.
