For VOGUE’s Summer 2025 issue, Hailey Bieber speaks with contributor Alessandra Codinha about the transformations in her life since becoming a mother—her evolving routine, changing body, marriage, and how she balances it all, while tuning out the noise. For the first time, Bieber also opens up about her “scary” birth experience.
On giving birth to her son, Jack Blues Bieber: “Giving birth was the hardest thing I’ve ever done…That shit was so crazy. That was not fun. They broke my water. I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing.”
Following Jack’s birth, Hailey experienced a postpartum hemorrhage. She tells Vogue it was “a little bit scary…I trust my doctor with my life. And so I had peace that I knew she would never let anything happen to me. But I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind.”
On embracing her postpartum body: “Every day I have to talk to myself, like, Hailey, you had a baby…You grew a human. You birthed a human. It’s okay. Give yourself grace. Give yourself time…When people talk about ‘bouncing back’—back where, because my hips are wider, my boobs are actually bigger than they were before. They did not go back. And great, I’ll take it, but it’s not the same body that it was before.”
On dealing with hate comments: “Being postpartum is the most sensitive time I’ve ever gone through in my life, and learning a new version of myself is very difficult…And to be doing that all the while going on the internet every day and people being like, They’re getting divorced and They’re this and They’re not happy: It is such a mindfuck. I cannot even begin to explain it. It’s a crazy life to live.”
