Justin Bieber has opened up about the emotional rollercoaster he experienced during the birth of his son, Jack Blues, admitting that tensions ran high between him and the doula assisting his wife, Hailey Bieber, during labour.
Speaking during a Twitch livestream this week, the 31-year-old singer recalled what he described as “one of the most emotional moments of my life.”
According to Daily Mail, Justin explained that the atmosphere in the delivery room became strained when the doula and nurse attending to Hailey began disagreeing.
“I remember dealing with, like… there was tension,” he said. “We had a doula and then we had a nurse as well, and the nurse and the doula were really kind of butting heads. Then I was butting heads with the doula.”
Justin Bieber revealed that the conflict left Hailey anxious and prompted her to intervene.
“She was like, ‘You need to apologize to the doula. Just clear the air,’” Justin recalled.
The pop star said he eventually apologized but also felt that his role as a father in the delivery room was being minimized.
“I was just like, ‘I’m sorry, my emotions are heightened, but don’t take away from my moment either — as the dad, I got this too.’”
Justin Bieber went on to share that he wanted to be fully present and trusted his instincts throughout the experience.
“There are times when I need to console Hailey, and I felt like she was pushing me to the side,” he said. “It’s instinctual to be a dad… to be there.”
Hailey previously told Vogue that her delivery was traumatic, revealing she was induced, spent 18 hours in labour without an epidural, and later suffered a postpartum hemorrhage.
“That s**t was so crazy. That was not fun,” she said at the time. “I was bleeding really badly, and people die… the thought crosses your mind.”
The couple welcomed their baby boy, Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024, sharing the joyful news on Instagram with a photo of the newborn’s tiny foot and the caption: “WELCOME HOME, JACK BLUES BIEBER 🧸.”
Despite the intensity of the experience, Justin Bieber said fatherhood has changed his outlook on life.
“It’s one of the most important times of your life,” he reflected. “You just want to do right by your wife and your child.”
