Hailey Bieber opens up about post baby body struggles
The model battled self-hatred and body dysmorphia after son Jack’s birth
Hailey Bieber battled “self-hatred” while trying to shed the extra pounds after giving birth to her son Jack Blues with Justin Bieber.
The 28-year-old Rhode founder, who Justin claimed would "never" cover Vogue, admitted to privately struggling with postpartum body dysmorphia in the magazine's most recent issue.
She claimed that because of her larger breasts and wider hips, she found it difficult to accept that her body "is not the same body that it was before."
Eventually, her obsession with "bouncing back" gave way to a focus on bringing "grace" to her body and herself.
"I had to tell myself, 'Hailey, you had a baby,' every single day. 'You became a human. You gave birth to a person. It's all right. Be kind to yourself. Give yourself some time,'" she said.
The mother-of-one told Vogue that in order to "prevent" postpartum depression, she sought out a "new therapist" and used holistic strategies, such as prenatal vitamins and supplements.
Was Hailey Bieber hiding her pregnancy?
Hailey Bieber did not explicitly confirm her pregnancy until she and Justin announced it publicly in May 2024 with a maternity photoshoot.
