• Fans speculate that Justin and Hailey Bieber are having a baby girl based on social media hints and family responses.
• Celebrities like the Biebers are choosing to keep baby details private to shield their family from media scrutiny.
• Keeping baby genders and names secret is a trend among celebrities seeking to safeguard their privacy and narrative.

Justin and Hailey Bieber recently announced they’re expecting their first baby, with the model apparently six months along. The couple have shared few details about their baby-on-the-way, including the gender and due date, but some eagle-eyed fans think they’ve found clues indicating the sex of the baby.

Why Fans Think Justin And Hailey Are Having A Girl

Theories about the couple’s unborn baby are circulating online, with one Reddit thread suggesting they’re having a girl since there seems to be an increase in the color pink across both the parents-to-be’s social media accounts.

"So far all of the signs are pointing to her being pregnant with a girl..." one person wrote, adding three screenshots of the pair’s recent social media activity as proof.

The so-called clue is a selfie Hailey posted that appeared taken shortly after waking up. The model showed off her makeup-free with tousled hair, gazing at the camera. Clutching her Rhode phone case with both hands, white robes hung on the wall behind her.

Despite her simple caption, "Good morning this morning," fans zoomed in on the emojis she included—a heart hand emoji and a pink bow emoji—prompting speculation about her baby’s gender.

Another screenshot showed Hailey carrying a pink pacifier. The Rhode Beauty founder had shared a video donning an oversized black leather jacket with green stripes, wherein she surprised fans by revealing a baby pacifier from her pocket.

Captioning the post, "When @keliamoniz sends me my new favorite vintage jacket, and this is in the pocket," Hailey added fuel to the pregnancy rumors.

Additionally, Justin's half-sister Jazmyn's response to his pregnancy announcement on Instagram further hinted at the couple's expanding family, with her comment featuring red and pink hearts. Another clue emerged from one of Justin's recent Instagram posts, featuring clouds of pink smoke against a Hawaiian backdrop, sparking speculation of a gender reveal celebration during their island trip.

More Celebrities Are Refusing To Reveal Their Baby’s Gender

An increasing number of celebrities are choosing to keep their pregnancies private to shield themselves and their unborn child from intrusive media scrutiny and to maintain a semblance of normalcy in their personal lives. This trend extends to withholding the names and genders of their children after birth, as a means of safeguarding their privacy and protecting them from the intense public spotlight.

Notable examples include Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who kept details of their pregnancies and their children's names tightly under wraps until they were ready to share them with the world, citing a desire to maintain control over their narrative and shield their family from unwanted attention.

Similarly, actors like Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have chosen to keep their children's lives largely private, with few photos existing of them online.

Even the Kardashian-Jenners have followed this trend. Kylie Jenner didn’t confirm her first pregnancy until Stormi was born, despite intense fan speculation and suspicious paparazzi photos. She also chose to keep the name of her second child, son Aire, under tight wraps until almost a month after his birth.

Fans can’t blame celebrities for waiting to prioritize their family's well-being and privacy above public curiosity, opting to share glimpses of their lives on their own terms. But it seems like fans will have to wait until the Biebers are ready to confirm their baby’s gender, as they’re remaining silent despite the rumors.
