Justin Bieber publicly announced the pregnancy of his wife Hailey Bieber on his Instagram on May 9, 2024. Merely two hours later, his ex Selena Gomez shared some romantic pictures of her current boyfriend Benny Blanco on her Instagram story.
The songstress has not directly acknowledged the couple’s pregnancy news. However, the Jelena fandom interprets Selena’s recent romantic photos with Benny as a potential, subtle response.
In one of the pictures, Selena shared a closeup of her holding hands with her boyfriend along with a massive ring on her finger.
Earlier, Justin shared a series of pictures of a visibly pregnant Hailey while on a trip to Hawaii. In one of the snaps, the couple can be seen renewing their wedding vows as Hailey is dressed up in a custom Saint Laurent lace wedding dress and veil.
Fans flooded the comment section of the Instagram post with congratulations and good wishes for the new parents to be. One comment read,
“AHHH YESSSS I love yall so much. You’re literally gonna be the greatest papa ever. So excited for this new chapter”.
An anonymous source revealed to TMZ that Hailey is 6 months along and is expecting the baby in late summer of 2024.
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez dated on and off for over eight years, from 2011 to 2018. After their split, Justin married Hailey on September 13, 2018. This is the Bieber couple’s first child together after almost 6 years of marriage.
Even though Selena has not been friendly with her ex Justin and his wife Hailey, she has always remained civil while addressing her on the internet during times of public drama.
Whether Selena’s post was a cryptic reply to the Bieber baby news or a reflection of her happy relationship, only she knows. Regardless, with a baby on the way, this is a new era for all parties involved.
