Hailey and Justin Bieber were waiting for the right moment to expand their family.

“Hailey has always known she wanted to be a mother, so this is a dream come true,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly after the couple announced Hailey’s pregnancy with baby No. 1 on Thursday, May 9. “Although she always knew she wanted to have a baby, she didn’t want to rush things after getting married.”

The insider adds that Hailey, 27, “wanted to make sure” that the pair “could enjoy their alone time together as a couple” before they thought about having children. (Justin, 30, and Hailey tied the knot in 2018.)

On Thursday, Justin shared a series of photos and videos showing off Hailey’s baby bump. While the singer didn’t caption the post, he did tag his wife. The first video showed Hailey and Justin sharing a sweet kiss. The subsequent image in the slideshow featured Hailey standing in a white lace Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello dress and cradling her growing stomach.
