    Hailey Bieber admits the beginning of her pregnancy was ’emotional’ as she bares her bump in red underwear and fur coat

    HAILEY Bieber has opened up about how difficult her first pregnancy has been in a new interview.The model is currently expecting her first child with husband Justin Bieber.Hailey Bieber opened up about her pregnancy journey in a new interview with W MagazineCredit: David Sims / W MagazineThe Rhode founder reflected on public scutiny over her relationship with her husband Justin BieberCredit: David Sims / W Magazine“In the beginning [of pregnancy], it was super emotional for me. Like, ‘I love this human so much. How can I possibly bring someone else into this?’ ” she told W Magazine.“I’m trying to soak in these days of it being Justin and me, just the two of us.”Hailey, 27, and Justin, 30, tied the knot in September 2018, after dating for four years. She was 21 at the time. Hailey and Justin announced they were expecting their first child together in May this year, with the couple sharing a series of photographs on Instagram. In the images, Hailey debuted her baby bump while wearing a white lace dress. Shortly after, a representative for Hailey confirmed she was just over six months pregnant at the time in a statement to the Associated Press. During the interview, Hailey showed off her growing bump in just a pair of Miu Miu underwear and a fluffy pink over coat.Most read in CelebrityShe also explained the decision to announce her pregnancy after six months of keeping it a secret amid intense scrutiny about her relationship with Justin. Admitting she could have “probably hid it until the end”, she added, “I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy outwardly. I felt like I was hiding this big secret, and it didn’t feel good. I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.”Justin Bieber performs intimate show as fans say he looks ‘happiest he’s ever been’ as he expects first baby with HaileyIn the profile, Hailey spoke candidly about how rumors surrounding her relationship with Justin continue to affect her nearly six years since their wedding. “People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since 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,” she said. “I used to try to act like it hurts less and less. I’ve tried to think that you get used to it at a certain point, that this is what’s going to be said and this is how people are going to be. But I realize that it doesn’t actually ever hurt any less,” the Rhode founder confessed. Reflecting on the widespread success of her beauty brand that was launched two years ago, Hailey said the goal was always for it to “feel chic… feel cool” while simplifying extensive skincare routines. “I looked at it from my point of view of style,” she explained. “Like, what are the essential items you need to have in your closet? The perfect leather jacket, the perfect pair of jeans, the perfect white tee.”So it came down to: What are your must-haves that make up your skincare wardrobe?
