Justin and Hailey Bieber decided now was the time to start a family after being hit by shocking health diagnoses in recent years, sparking fears they could miss out on watching their children grow older, insiders have claimed.
The couple, who have been married since September 2018, surprised their fans on Thursday when they shared photos of themselves cradling Hailey’s pregnant belly during a secret vow renewal in Hawaii.
The happy news is believed to have been prompted by their individual health issues, and even inspired Justin, 30, to write new music for his wife, 27, and their unborn child.
“As they both had various health problems, they decided that now, rather than trying a little later, would be the best time to have children,” an exclusive source told DailyMail.com.
‘They are still young and will enjoy being parents. As they get older, they can watch their children get older too.”

The model and businesswoman suffered a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) or ‘mini stroke’ in March 2022 while having breakfast with Justin.
Tests later revealed that he had a patent foramen ovale (PFO), a hole between the left and right atria (upper chambers) of the heart, which caused a blood clot. He later underwent a procedure to close it.
Hailey, who also has perioral dermatitis and a history of migraines, opened up about the terrifying experience in a TikTok video, telling her fans that she felt a “strange sensation” on her right arm, before her face sank and she began to have difficulty speaking.

Sources claim the news has even inspired Justin to write new music, but he has no plans to tour.
They’ve both faced individual health issues in recent years: Hailey suffered a mini-stroke and Justin suffered from Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
She later revealed that she was struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), telling the Run-Through With Vogue podcast: “I struggled with a lot of anxiety afterwards. “I struggled with a little bit of PTSD or the fear that maybe it would happen again.”
Months after Hailey’s stroke, her husband Justin faced his own health battle, suffering facial paralysis as a result of Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
