Hailey and Justin Bieber are both in a good headspace as they await the arrival of their first child.
According to a source, the pop star’s mental health struggles were difficult for the Rhode founder to deal with, so she wanted to wait until he was in a better place before they added a baby to the mix.
“He’s a lot clingier, while she’s always been more emotionally mature and able to see things in a clearer way,” the insider explained, noting things once got so bad between the couple that rumors began to swirl they were headed for a split.
“They got married so young and weren’t emotionally equipped to deal with it,” the source shared of how Justin's issues affected both of them. “It was hard. Divorce seemed to be their only way out.”
“Hailey didn’t want to bring a child into their world until things were more stable,” the source shared, pointing out that in 2022, Hailey also suffered a ministroke and Justin was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
While the “Sorry” singer wanted kids from the start of their marriage, the brunette beauty also wanted to delay those plans to focus on her career.
“He stopped pushing her and making her feel guilty, and that’s when things turned around,” the source stated, noting how the pair relied on their faith during the tough time. “They sought the advice of their pastor and got some much-needed therapy.”
Now that Hailey is pregnant with their first child and their marriage is in good shape, the lovebirds are overjoyed.
“They’re having so much fun,” the confidante remarked. “Everything revolves around Hailey.”
“Justin’s finally getting the family he always wanted,” they concluded.
On May 9, Justin and Hailey announced their pregnancy on Instagram with a video of the duo renewing their vows as she showed off her baby bump.
