In an interview with the magazine, Hailey Bieber explained why she kept the good news of her pregnancy a secret for the first 6 months: “Honestly, I was able to keep it a secret because my belly was still small for a long time. I didn’t see my belly until I was 6 months pregnant, that’s when I wanted to announce it to my fans.”

Hailey said she could wear loose shirts to cover her bump and hide it until she gave birth, but ultimately she wanted to share the good news with the world. The 27-year-old beauty said: “I don’t like the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy publicly. I feel like I’m hiding a big secret, which is not pleasant. I want to be free to go out and live my life.”

Hailey also said she is trying to spend time with her husband before welcoming the new member and being busy with motherhood. The Bieber couple has enjoyed many trips together in recent months.

Hailey and Justin Bieber first announced they were expecting a baby in May when they re-wed in Hawaii. At the time, Hailey wore a tight lace dress that revealed her large midsection. Since then, Hailey has been wearing revealing outfits on the streets. She also shared her experiences of her first pregnancy on Instagram.
