Hailey Bieber talks parenting with Justin: 'Taking it a day at a time'

Hailey Bieber is opening up about life as a new mom while balancing marriage and fame.

The 28-year-old model and Rhode founder spoke to GQ about how she and husband Justin Bieber, 31, are navigating parenthood while maintaining their careers and relationship. “We’re just taking it a day at a time,” she said.

“We both feel very protective of our son and I don’t think that’s ever going to change, but our life is our life and it is really public, so I think we’re just going to cross every bridge that we need to when we get there.”

Hailey, who shares 15-month-old son Jack Blues with Justin, said she feels “really comfortable” with the balance they’ve found between sharing and keeping parts of their life private. When asked what she wished she had known before becoming a parent, she admitted that nothing can truly prepare you.

“I don’t think there’s anything someone can tell you about it that will ever, ever, ever prepare you until you do it yourself,” she explained. “There’s so much unknown to it, but so much happens and so much changes and you evolve in a totally different way that you would never be able to prepare for until you do it.”

Hailey also revealed that Justin is one of her biggest supporters — and a loyal user of her Rhode skincare line. “My husband uses Rhode, and has since the beginning and loves it, and I have a lot of male friends that are obsessed with it and use it,” she said.

Previously, Hailey shared that she’s “not ashamed” to have help raising her son. On the In Your Dreams with Owen Thiele podcast, she explained, “I have full-time help and I’m super not ashamed to say that because I wouldn’t be able to have my career and do the things that I do without the help, and I’m really grateful for that. If he’s not with me, he’s with his dad. He’s always with his family, and he’s always with one of us, or with his godparents.”
