The announcement was made on Hailey's Instagram on Thursday (Friday IST), where the couple shared a video and photos from what appeared to be a vow renewal ceremony.

Reactions
'They're also starting to decorate a nursery'
If reports are to go by, Hailey is already six months pregnant. And what's more, the would-be parents know what they are going to call their little one.
A source told PEOPLE, "They have a name that they think is perfect. They're also starting to decorate a nursery. They can't wait to meet the baby."
Once the news broke, friends of the pair expressed their glee in the comments. Model Chrissy Teigen, crooner Justine Skye, among others, left heartfelt notes.
Parenthood plans
The Biebers always wanted young parenthood
The Biebers have previously expressed their desire to become parents.
In a 2021 interview with ELLE, Hailey stated, "We always knew that we were aligned on what we wanted in our future."
"We had talked about wanting to be married young and having a family young and building a life. Even before we knew we wanted to be with each other."
Beiber (30) also shared his hopes for a "little tribe" during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres in December 2020.
Respectful approach
Bieber was mindful of Hailey's ambitions
Bieber expressed his desire to have "as many as Hailey (wishes) to push out" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, noting that the model wasn't ready then.
He stated, "Hailey still has some things she wants to accomplish as a woman...she's just not ready yet. And that's okay."
Since then, Hailey has launched her skincare brand Rhode.
With the recent pregnancy announcement, it appears the couple is now ready for this new chapter in their lives.
Recent news
Solid couple goals: From tackling health scares to separation rumors
Interestingly, this happy news has hit ongoing separation rumors on its head.
Justin-Hailey, who tied the knot in a private courthouse ceremony in 2018, celebrated their nuptials with loved ones in 2019.
Recent rumors suggested that the supermodel-turned-beauty entrepreneur was grappling with intense public scrutiny surrounding her marriage and wanted some time alone.
Notably, the young couple has faced health scares together; while the Canadian singer battled Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which resulted in facial paralysis, Hailey experienced a minor stroke.
