Why Justin & Hailey Bieber chose surprisingly normal name for newborn son Jack

The Biebers announced the arrival of their first child on August 23

August 24, 2024

Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey are now the proud parents of a baby boy after they announced his arrival on August 23.

The new parents revealed that they have named their son, Jack Blues Bieber, and the moniker has a sweet meaning behind it.

Instead of opting for a unique 'showbiz' name, the couple decided to give their son a surprisingly normal name that carries sentimental meaning.

Justin and Hailey named their newborn after the "Peaches" singer's father, Jeremey Bieber, whose middle name is Jack.

It also appears that Justin has stuck with family tradition by giving his son the initials 'JB', like himself, his dad, and two of his half-siblings on his father's side.

Justin’s half-sister is Jazmyn Bieber, 16, while his half-brother is Jaxon Bieber, 14. They were born during Jeremy's relationship with his ex Erin Wagner.

He added: "I am so proud of you. I can't believe you are 12 years old! You are such an amazing, sweet, handsome, special boy and I'm honored to be your big brother."

Justin also has a younger half-sister, Bay, five, whom his dad shares with his wife Chelsey, and a stepsister, Ally, 17, Chelsey's daughter from a previous relationship.

Hailey and Justin did not share Jack's birthdate

Hailey announced her pregnancy in March when she was six months along, opting to share the news alongside beautiful vow renewal photos with Justin.

She told W magazine she was finding it hard to keep the news private, explaining: "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."
