Hailey Bieber has proudly bared her baby bump as she awaits the arrival of her first child with her husband Justin Bieber.
The 27-year-old supermodel waited until she was six months along before she went public with her pregnancy this May.
She broke the news with an Instagram video of her and Justin renewing their wedding vows in Hawaii – with her bridal gown hugging her burgeoning belly.
Now she has given a wide-ranging interview talking candidly about morning sickness, her pregnancy diet and why she announced her baby joy when she did.
‘I probably could have hid it until the end. But I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy outwardly,’ she told W magazine.

‘I felt like I was hiding this big secret, and it didn’t feel good. I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.’ the niece of Alec Baldwin explained.
‘I was honestly able to keep it quiet because I stayed small for a long time. I didn’t have a belly, really, until I was six months pregnant, which was when I announced it. I was able to wear big jackets and stuff,’ she noted.
She proudly displayed her baby bump on the cover of latest issue of W, modeling a set of dark lingerie as she lounged on a patio chair.
Inside the magazine, the showbiz legacy flashed her blossoming belly again in a flowing blouse that flapped open over her midriff.
In order to maintain her health, she has made sure to consume plenty of protein, including ‘lots of eggs, chicken, and steak.’
She also enjoys premade items from the Los Angeles health food store Erewhon – a favorite of celebrities – and the trendy beverage kombucha.
However her principal lodestar is: ‘I just listen to whatever the baby wants. If the baby wants pizza one day, we’re doing pizza.’
Hailey, who describes herself as a food-lover, has also allowed herself the ‘huge luxury’ of hiring a private chef for the evenings.

The daughter of Stephen Baldwin shared that she suffered from acute morning sickness during her first trimester, adding: ‘I don’t know why they call it that because it lasts all day long; we need to change the name.’
As her family expands, Hailey divulged that she is also trying to capitalize on the brief time that she and Justin have left one-on-one.
‘In the beginning [of pregnancy], it was super emotional for me. Like: “I love this human so much. How can I possibly bring someone else into this?” I’m trying to soak in these days of it being Justin and me, just the two of us,’ she said.
She also has to be careful about going online, as ‘the Internet is a scary place for a pregnant woman’ what with all the anecdotes floating around social media.
‘You see so many stories – traumatic birth stories, traumatic experiences – and I know that that’s very real. But I don’t want to scare myself,’ she said.
Hailey divulged that she has grown somewhat distant from her Baldwin family, who have been plunged into controversy repeatedly in recent years.
Her elder sister Alaia, 31, was arrested for assault in February after allegedly throwing a used tampon at a bartender while drunk.
Meanwhile, the manslaughter charges against Alec were sensationally dropped earlier this month, in a case stemming from the Rust shooting.

On the set of his western Rust in 2021, Alec accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a gun being used as a prop.
Stephen has also faced intense scrutiny over the years, and in 2018 staunchly denied claims that he had an extramarital affair with a masseuse.
‘I’m not super close with my family at this point in my life because I feel like I’m very independent. I’m my own individual now, and I’ve built my own family,’ said Hailey.
‘But when I look back on my childhood and how I grew up, I have very fond, beautiful memories,’ added Hailey, whose uncles Daniel and Billy are also actors.
‘I had a fairly normal childhood. Obviously, I come from the family that I come from, and I always recognized that that was different.’

Now, as a celebrity herself, Hailey has taken plenty of slings and arrows from online trolls – especially diehard fans of Justin’s teenage sweetheart Selena Gomez.
While she has attempted to ‘compartmentalize’ the brickbats she receives, Hailey finds it difficult to suppress her feelings about the issue entirely.
‘People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one. “Oh, they’re falling apart. They hate each other. They’re getting divorced.” It’s like people don’t want to believe that we’re happy,’ said Hailey.
‘I used to try to act like it hurts less and less. I’ve tried to think that you get used to it at a certain point, that this is what’s going to be said and this is how people are going to be. But I realize that it doesn’t actually ever hurt any less.’
