Hailey Bieber shocked her fans when she announced she was six months pregnant with her and husband Justin Bieber’s first child in May.
And now skincare founder Rhode, 27, is sharing how she was able to keep it a secret for so long.
She said W Magazine This week, the lack of a baby bump was a huge help.
“I was actually able to keep it quiet because I stayed small for so long,” Hailey explained.
“I didn’t actually have a belly until I was six months pregnant, which is when I announced it. I could wear big jackets and stuff.”
Hailey continued: “I probably could have kept it hidden until the end, but I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to outwardly enjoy my pregnancy.”

And now skincare founder Rhode, 27, is sharing with W Magazine how she was able to keep it a secret for so long.
Before going public, Justin Bieber’s wife felt like he was ‘keeping this big secret’, and it didn’t feel right.
“I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.”
Hailey announced the pregnancy news on May 9, 2024 with an Instagram video of her and Justin renewing their wedding vows in Hawaii, with her wedding dress hugging her growing baby bump.
The couple, who will celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary in September, have yet to reveal the sex of their unborn baby.
Hailey has been keeping her fans updated on her pregnancy by sharing photos of her baby bump on social media.
But the brunette beauty opened up about her cravings, morning sickness and how she avoided turning to the internet for pregnancy advice in W magazine.
Hailey explained that she is following a high-protein pregnancy diet that includes “lots of eggs, chicken and meat.”
But she also enjoys prepared products from Los Angeles-based health food store Erewhon (a celebrity favorite) and the trendy drink kombucha.

Pizza is also on the menu.
“I just listen to what the baby wants. If he wants pizza one day, we make him pizza,” Hailey said.
The influencer has also allowed herself the ‘great luxury’ of hiring a private chef for the evenings.
Stephen Baldwin’s daughter 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; we need to change the name.’
As her family expands, Hailey revealed that she’s also trying to make the most of what little time she and Justin have left alone.
The duo tied the knot in 2018 and will celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary in September.
“At the beginning[of the pregnancy]I was so emotional. I was like, ‘I love this human being so much. How can I bring someone else into this? ‘ I’m trying to come to terms with these days where it’s just Justin and me, just the two of us,” she said.
You should also be careful when surfing the Internet, as “the Internet is a scary place for a pregnant woman,” with all the anecdotes circulating on social media.
“You see so many stories, stories of traumatic births, traumatic experiences, and I know that’s very real, but I don’t want to be scared,” she said.

Hailey revealed that she has grown somewhat distant from her Baldwin family, who have repeatedly been embroiled in controversies in recent years.
Her older sister, Alaia, 31, was arrested for assault in February after allegedly throwing a used tampon at a bartender while drunk.
Meanwhile, murder charges against Alec were sensationally dropped earlier this month in a case stemming from the Rust shooting.
On the set of his 2021 western Rust, Alec accidentally shot and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins with a gun that was being used as a prop.
Stephen has also faced intense scrutiny over the years, and in 2018 he flatly denied allegations that he had an extramarital affair with a masseuse.
“I don’t have a very close relationship with my family at this point in my life because I feel like I’m very independent. I’m my own person now and I’ve started my own family,” Hailey said.
“But when I look back on my childhood and how I grew up, I have very fond and beautiful memories,” added Hailey, whose uncles Daniel and Billy are also actors.
“I had a pretty normal childhood. Obviously, I come from the family I come from and I always recognized that that was different.”
Now a celebrity, Hailey has received a lot of criticism from online trolls, especially die-hard fans of Selena Gomez, Justin’s teenage girlfriend.

While she has tried to “compartmentalize” the criticism she receives, Hailey finds it difficult to completely suppress her feelings on the subject.
“People have made me feel so bad about my relationship from 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,” Hailey said.
‘I used to try to act like it hurt less and less. I’ve tried to think that you get used to it at a certain point, that this is what you’re going to say and this is how people are going to behave. But I find that it never actually hurts less.’
