Justin Bieber and wife Hailey Bieber are expecting their first baby together. Hailey, 27, and Justin, 30, shared the news on Instagram where they posted a video from what looks like a vow renewal, showing Hailey wearing a long white dress and a veil, highlighting her baby bump. Hailey also included photos of herself standing with Justin in a field showing him placing his arms around her stomach.

Hailey’s pregnancy comes nearly six years after the couple were married at a New York City courthouse in September 2018, two months after getting engaged. The pair said “I do” for a second time a year later at a lavish wedding ceremony in Bluffton, South Carolina.

The couple have often spoken about becoming parents, and the rumors that constantly surrounded the subject. In a cover article in GQ Hype in October, Hailey addressed whether pregnancy rumors affected her: “Recently, everybody was like, ‘Oh my God, she’s pregnant,’ and that’s happened to me multiple times before. There is something that’s disheartening about, damn, I can’t be bloated one time and not be pregnant? It would be a lie if I was like, ‘Oh yeah, I don’t give a s—.’ When there comes a day that that is true, you, you as in the internet, will be the last to know.”

According to TMZ, sources with direct knowledge shared that Hailey is a little over six months pregnant.

System Of A Down’s Serj Tankian announces new solo EP, teases new single ‘A.F. Day’

Serj Tankin from System Of A Down performs in concert at Rock im Park festival on June 3^ 2017 in Nuremberg^ Germany

System Of A Down frontman Serj Tankian has announced a new solo EP, ‘Foundations.’  Tankian took to social media to announce the EP, which is due for release sometime in the fall, and revealed the track’s first single, ‘A.F. Day’ will be released on May 17 alongside an accompanying music video. Tankian also shared a snippet of ‘A.F. Day’; you can check out the teaser  – here.

Consequence of Sound writes that Tankian said ‘A.F. Day’ was written during the “early days” of System Of A Down, but was unreleased. Tankian shared: “The majority of the instrumentation and vocals are recordings from that time. Dystopian in mood, it’s a reflection of the angst and anti-authoritarian attitude I had to conformity.”

‘Foundations’ will be Tankian’s first project since releasing the solo EP ‘Perplex Cities’ in 2022. He also announced his upcoming memoir last year, titled ‘Down with the System’, which promises to be “far more than just a rock ‘n’ roll fable”.  ‘Down with the System’ is set for release on May 14 via Hachette Books.
