Justin and Hailey Bieber have shared the joyful news of their son’s birth, and it seems his name carries a heartfelt significance.
The ‘Baby’ singer and Rhode skincare company founder revealed they have welcomed a baby boy through an Instagram post earlier today (August 24).
The pair, who tied the knot in September 2018, initially announced they were expecting their first child in May 2024.
In an Instagram post earlier today, Justin posted a photo capturing the tiny feet of their newborn, with Hailey’s hand also visible in the picture.
The caption reads: “Welcome home, Jack Blues Bieber.”
It appears the name ‘Jack’ might hold a special and touching meaning.
Justin’s parents, Pattie Mallette and Jeremy Bieber, separated a few months after his birth on March 1, 1994, leading to a complicated relationship between the singer and his father.
In a 2015 interview with Billboard, Justin remarked that his father was ‘immature’ and initially ‘not in a place where he could raise a kid’.
He elaborated: “He left for like a year when I was about four, went to British Columbia, came back on Father’s Day. I remember my mom said, ‘If you’re going to be here, you have to be here’.”
Nonetheless, he clarified: “There’s a misconception that he’s this deadbeat dad, but he has been in my life since. I was with him on weekends and Wednesdays.”
In a 2017 Instagram post, Justin added: “I️ love continuing to get to know my father I️ love working through hard things to get to the good things.. relationships are worth fighting for especially with family!! Love you forever and always daddy!”
It seems the name of their firstborn son, and Pattie and Jeremy’s first grandchild, serves as a sweet homage to his father—Justin’s father is named Jeremy, but his middle name is Jack.
Fans have been flocking to social media to congratulate Justin and Hailey, expressing their admiration for the chosen name.
One Twitter user wrote: “Justin and Hailey are gonna be amazing parents Congratulations to the Biebers!”
“He’s the only celebrity giving normal name to their kid,” another commented.
A third added: “Omg! Jack Blues Bieber! What a cute name! Definitely a future popular! Congrats to them!”
And a fourth concluded: “Lol finally a normal name for a celebrity baby.”
