Hailey Bieber Marks Son Jack Blues’ First Birthday with Sweet Family Photos

After recounting her experience of being pregnant and giving birth in an interview earlier this year, the doting mom gave her Instagram followers a glimpse of her baby boy on his special day.

On August 22, 2025, famous model Hailey Bieber celebrated a milestone for her and iconic musician Justin Bieber’s son, Jack Blues Bieber. She commemorated their baby boy’s first birthday with endearing photos that have sparked a flurry of comments from online viewers. While many swooned over the adorable child and likened him to his dad, others wondered why Jack’s nanny was not acknowledged in the post.

In one of the family photos, Hailey is seen cradling Jack close to her chest, her long brunette hair cascading down as she presses her nose gently on her son’s head. Dressed in a fitted white T-shirt and denim jeans, she holds him with quiet tenderness, their matching white outfits and soft surroundings emphasizing the intimacy of the moment.

The cover image captures a burst of joy — Hailey lying on her back, laughing radiantly as she holds Jack on top of her.

Her stunning engagement ring glints beside the delicate tattoos that trace her fingers, while Jack, dressed in a white T-shirt and diaper, gazes down at her. The post’s caption reads, “1 year of you my [sic] beautiful boy. Happy 1st Birthday Jack Blues, you are joy personified,” a heartfelt tribute that matched the warmth and simplicity of the shared moments.

Following Hailey’s post, netizens swiftly filled the comment section with both admiration and critique. Many couldn’t help but gush over Jack’s resemblance to Justin.

One fan wrote, “I see a little mini Justin 🥺🥺🥺,” while another echoed, “Mini justin [sic] 🥹🥹🥹🥹.” “I can tell, he looks just like Justin,” remarked another. Someone else enthusiastically expressed, “Happy birthday!!! I can tell by the first pic that he definitely [sic] Justin’s twin!!! 💙.”

Others continued to chime in with heartfelt reactions to the sweet family photos. “No way!!!!!!!GORG 🥺🥺🥺🤍🤍,” exclaimed one admirer. However, not all responses were celebratory. Some people shifted focus to someone noticeably absent from the post — Jack’s nanny.

“Where is the nanny of this little boy who gave so much for Jack Blue’s one year? it [sic] is to her that all the recognition goes,” asserted one commenter. Another urged, “we [sic] want to see his beloved nanny.”

One person questioned, “Giving the nanny a break?” while a more pointed response read, “Congrats to the nanny for raising him. I’m glad you didn’t put ‘mom’ in your bio.” This isn’t the first time the couple’s parenting choices have drawn online scrutiny.

Earlier this year, an excursion the duo went on drew widespread speculation when someone on Reddit uploaded a clip of the Biebers during what appeared to be a private getaway.

The video showed different moments from their trip, including footage of the couple seated in a restaurant, while another featured them walking up a stairway, bundled in heavy winter layers.

The post — now eight months old — ignited conversation about who cares for Jack during such outings. It sparked a wave of emotional responses, with several spectators voicing concern over what they perceived as detachment during Jack’s early developmental months.

“This is so sad. The first few months of a child’s life is crucial for bonding with his mother and look at what she’s doing [sic],” lamented one person.

Echoing that sentiment, another replied, “He will bond with the nannies. It’s very sad and def [sic] shouldn’t be that way.” A third observer then weighed in, speculating, “I bet she’ll keep replacing the nanny as soon as they start to bond.”

Others took a broader view of the situation, expressing sorrow not just for Jack, but for the new parents as well. “I feel so sorry for the baby 😢 and I feel sorry for JB and HB as well because they are missing the best part of life [sic] the biggest blessing and privilege it is to be a parent,” wrote one commenter.

The same person added, “I hate to even say this but I hope he has good stability with a life long Nannie and not be passed around like a pizza 🍕 poor baby 😞 [sic].”

While some voices online have questioned the visible aspects of Hailey’s parenting, the model has also been candid about the profound, and at times overwhelming, realities of becoming a mother. In a Vogue interview published in May, Hailey, now 28, reflected on how her journey to motherhood unfolded in its own time.

Though she once imagined having multiple children by now, she admitted the timing hadn’t been right, at least not until Jack came along.

“Now I just think it happens to every person exactly when it’s supposed to,” she shared, describing her pregnancy as both transformative and deeply grounding.

Physically, she embraced the changes, staying active and healthy with the help of a support team. But the emotional aspect caught her off guard. Hailey spoke openly about the initial shock of the pregnancy and the mental shift it required.

“There are certain warnings: Your life is never going to be the same again. It changes in good ways, but it’s not going to be the same. You’re never going to be just an individual without a child ever again,” she reflected.

“And you’re not going to just be you and your partner, just the two of you.” When it came time to deliver, the experience was far from what she had envisioned.

Despite months of preparation — everything from yoga and pelvic-floor therapy to weight training — Hailey Bieber‘s hopes for a spontaneous labor faded at 39 weeks, when she began leaking amniotic fluid. What followed was a medically induced birth involving Pitocin and a Foley balloon, methods she described as “so crazy” and “not fun.”

Still, after 18 intense, epidural-free hours, her son arrived. Jack Blues — just over seven pounds of new life — entered the world and changed her life forever.
