Hailey Bieber paid ‘almost forensic attention’ to projecting an ‘idyllic marriage’ with Justin in pregnancy announcement
HAILEY and Justin Bieber announced their pregnancy to the world and quashed rumors of marriage difficulty at the same time, a body language expert has said.
She claimed the couple produced a “dramatic” display to share their news, but Hailey’s deliberate gestures of “completion” came thick and fast after she kissed her husband in front of a priest.
Hailey, 27, shared a video of renewing her marriage vows on Thursday with Justin, 30.
The footage kicked off with the couple kissing.
The Rhode founder was dressed in a flowing white dress and shades. Justin, a cap, jacket, and pants.
The camera panned back and centered on Hailey’s baby bump. She held yellow flowers which framed her rounded belly.
Fans and followers, including celebrities like Kendal Jenner and Heidi Klum, flooded the comments section with congratulations.
TMZ reported that the model was six months pregnant.
Body language expert Judi James described the footage as an “emotional collision.”
Hailey and Justin have not been far from the rumor mill surrounding a pregnancy for months.
Speculation reached fever pitch in April when Hailey was seen in Hawaii wearing a flowing white dress.
This came after she was seen holding her hand over her belly and eating strange food combinations. She also covered her body at Coachella.
“This looks like an emotional re-set from Justin and Hailey,” James told The U.S. Sun.
“There is an almost forensic attention to pulling together every loving aspect of their lives.
“They created a romantic collision in one complete moment in time.
“Their body language seems to signal a sense of completion for Hailey.
“This is in particular as she has gone back in time visually and virtually to create the narrative of bringing her baby to their wedding.”
Hollywood’s once-hottest young couple was said to be managing a rocky patch in the pregnancy run-up.
Justin had been seen alone around La Quinta in California.
Fans also assumed they were on the rocks when celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary.
The Grammy winner had been seen without a ring on his finger as well.
Stephen Baldwin’s daughter appeared to be staying in Los Angeles solo.
ROCK SOLID
James said the vow renewal footage pointed to an idyllic time for the couple, and this is especially true with their upcoming arrival.
“A five-year marriage is a fine but rare thing in the celebrity world,” she said.
“This was a clear message that it is as precious to Hailey as the baby bump she was cradling while showing off in her wedding dress.
“The non-verbal symbolism said that they welcomed the baby into their private world of idyllic marriage.
“Hailey and Justin were not moving forward with the baby to any new or changed phase of their relationship.
“Hailey seemed to want to show us everything she cherishes here, but in a dramatic way.
“This included her child, her profession, and religious beliefs, but more so in her solid marriage.”
Justin and Hailey first met in 2009 when they hit it off on the Today Show.
They started dating and went public in 2015. People magazine reported the pair were seen kissing at a party that New Year.
“Relationships at this age are already complicated, but I don’t like to talk about it because it’s between me and him,” Hailey told E! News in 2016.
Hailey and Justin called it quits, given actress Selena Gomez was the mix.
After Justin and Selena,31, split in 2018, he married Hailey the following year in South Carolina.
The couple had been engaged for just two months.
Until now, speculation around their first pregnancy has continued, with Hailey discussing her dreams for children in 2023.
“I literally cry about this all the time! I want kids so bad, but I get scared,” Hailey told The Sunday Times.
Interestingly, Justin shared an Instagram post in April in which he broke down, and tears streamed down his face.
TEARS OF JOY
“Hailey seemed to be telling her fans that she is totally happy with everything in her life now,” added James.
“This was an essential statement from her, given the recent speculation after things like Justin’s tearful social media post.
“We were shown her in turn looking lovingly at Justin, then clutching a Bible with a small bunch of flowers.
“We also see the designer shades to imply celebrity.
“Then comes her full-length solo pose that looks straight out of Vogue.
“This is to remind us all of Hailey’s modeling career.
“There is a close-up of the diamonds on her ring finger, but all followed by a sudden bare-face grin of more childlike delight at the end.
“The footage, its style, and Hailey’s body language say it all.”
