At a Glance
- Hailey Bieber shared a rare photo of husband Justin cuddling their 16-month-old son, Jack Blues, on January 19
- The Instagram Story caption read “Just like Daddy” alongside the image of the shirtless, tattooed pop star holding the blonde toddler
- The couple, who wed in 2018 and welcomed Jack in August 2024, have largely kept their son out of the public eye
- Why it matters: Fans rarely glimpse the Biebers’ family life, making each new photo a social-media event
Hailey Bieber offered followers a fleeting peek at her growing family on Monday, January 19, posting an Instagram Story that showed Justin Bieber cradling their 16-month-old son, Jack Blues.
The Photo That Stopped Scrolling
In the quick clip, a shirtless Justin, 31, displayed his famously tattooed torso while gently holding the blonde toddler. Hailey, 29, simply wrote “Just like Daddy” over the image, underscoring the father-son resemblance.
The Rhode skincare founder has remained selective about sharing Jack’s image. Earlier in January she uploaded a carousel that included:
- A shot of Jack’s fair hair spiked up playfully
- A photo of the anklet she wears engraved with her son’s name
A Year of Firsts
Jack Blues, born in August 2024, has already celebrated several milestones in the public spotlight:
| Event | Date | Shared by |
|---|---|---|
| Birth | August 2024 | Private announcement to media via rep |
| First Christmas | December 25, 2025 | Matching plaid pajamas on Hailey’s Story |
| New Year photos | January 1, 2026 | Carousel on Hailey’s Instagram feed |
| Daddy cuddles | January 19, 2026 | Single Instagram Story |
The December holiday post showed Hailey smiling at Jack while he threw his arms overhead, captioned “Merry Christmas ❤️❤️.” Justin added his own festive upload: a photo of the couple bundled in puffers and scarves with the message “MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE BIEBERS 🫂🎅❤️.”
From Civil Ceremony to Parenthood
Hailey and Justin’s relationship timeline moved quickly once they rekindled romance in 2018:
- July 2018 – Engagement in the Bahamas
- September 2018 – Civil marriage in New York City
- September 2019 – Larger wedding ceremony with roughly 150 guests
- August 2024 – Birth of Jack Blues
A source who spoke with News Of Los Angeles earlier this year emphasized how parenthood reshaped the couple’s bond. “Becoming parents” and working through “challenges” strengthened their view that “they truly believe they are soulmates,” the insider said. “Jack is the center of everything for them.”
Keeping Family Life Private
Despite the Biebers’ global fame, they have chosen to shield Jack from constant exposure. The January posts mark only the third and fourth times Hailey has shown her son’s face on her main Instagram grid or Stories.
When she does share, fans respond instantly. Within minutes of the January 19 upload, social-media chatter spiked with comments about Jack’s blonde hair and striking resemblance to his father. The fleeting nature of Stories-content disappears after 24 hours-adds scarcity value to each glimpse.
