Hailey Bieber can’t wait to start a family with husband Justin Bieber. If only she could get over her nerves. The 26-year-old model told The Sunday Times that after nearly five years of marriage to the pop star the conversation is definitely happening.
“I literally cry about this all the time,” Hailey told the paper according to People. “I want kids so bad but I get scared. It’s enough that people say things about my husband or my friends. I can’t imagine having to confront people saying things about a child.” The Biebers have gotten used to being the subjects of intense public scrutiny during the course of an on-and-off relationship that began in 2015, including in March of this year when she thanked Justin’s ex, Selena Gomez, for tamping down rumors of an alleged feud.

“We can only do the best we can to raise them,” Hailey added of their potential future offspring. “As long as they feel loved and safe.” It’s not he first time Hailey has broached the subject of having kids. Last August, the Rhode founder told Harper’s Bazaar that being married and planning for a family is hard work.

“He’s still the person that I wanna be rushing back to,” Hailey told the magazine. “I might fly somewhere and go do a job, but I can’t wait to come back and hang out. I feel like that’s because of the effort that’s been put in on both sides. At the end of the day, like, he’s my best friend, but it still does take a lot of work to make it work. And then I know eventually, when kids come in the picture, that’s going to be a whole other season of navigating how to make that work.”

Justin hasn’t been shy about having baby fever, either. During a chat with his old pal Ellen DeGeneres in 2020, JB said he’s down to have “as many as Hailey is wishing to push out… I’d love to have myself a little tribe. But, yeah, it’s her body and whatever she wants to do… I thinks she wants to have a few.”

A year later they still had babies on the brain in a clip from Justin’s Amazon Prime doc, Justin Bieber: Our World. “My intention for 2021 is to continue to set goals and have fun while doing them,” Bieber said in one clip, adding, “make sure I put my family first, and hopefully we squish out a nugget.”

Justin has been laying low since revealing last summer that he suffers from the Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused partial facial paralysis and forced the singer to cancel his Justice World tour as a result of the diagnosis.

If you didn’t already know that Taylor Swift has Swifties’ backs, now you know. A fan who was on the receiving end of some Taylor largesse on Saturday night during the singer’s second night performing her Eras Tour at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field spoke to Good Morning America on Monday (May 15) about what it felt like to have Swift come to her aid during the show this weekend.
As chronicled in a number of fan videos, the incident came during Swift’s performance of “Bad Blood,” when the singer asked a security guard to ease up on Swifties dancing along to the show. “She’s fine,” Taylor said in the midst of the song’s chorus in which she appeared to call out the unnamed guard. “She wasn’t doing anything. Hey, stop! Stop!”

Now the fan, identified by GMA as Maryland third grade teacher Kelly Inglis Kelly, said she and her friends were dancing along to “Bad Blood” in their front row seats when, for some reason, the security guard allegedly began making demands.

“He kept telling me to stop. He kept telling me to like calm down and not to dance,” Kelly told GMA. “And I guess she noticed and she yelled at him and told him to leave me alone and that I wasn’t doing anything wrong.”

Kelly also spoke out on a friend’s TikTok feed, explaining, “I was the girl that Taylor talked to last night. Basically, the guard had been harassing our group all night, just to like… he just kept telling us not to touch the rail, and like anytime we did anything he was on top of us. We’re dancing, we’re having fun, and he didn’t like it. And Taylor noticed that I was having fun and that he didn’t like it, and she didn’t like it, and then he basically, like, got escorted out. And then they offered us free tickets for tonight [Sunday ].”

In the end, Kelly said, “it wasn’t this big crazy thing. It was just a bunch of girls having a good time and he didn’t want us to have fun.”

The teacher thanked Swift for speaking up during the show. “I think it means so much to everybody else, so her fans know that, like, she has our back,” Kelly said. Swift’s spokesperson had not returned Billboard’s request for comment at press time and GMA said a rep for Lincoln Financial Field would not comment when reached.

Kelly said she was back at the venue on Sunday night for the final gig of the three-night stand. Other standout moments during the Philly show included the nightly surprise song portion of Swift’s set, which included Fearless deep cut “Forever & Always” (requested by her friend Lena Dunham) and 1989 standout “This Love.”

Swift is moving on to Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA on Friday (May 19) for another three-night stand.
