Many people were persuaded by TikTok that Hailey and Justin Bieber would be expecting in 2022 after a picture of her became widely popular on the platform.
Justin and Hailey have been outspoken about their views on starting a family and growing it. Despite this, the picture you found tells a deeper tale than what you can now see.
Given how difficult it is to distinguish between phony and authentic tales on social media, it is not surprising that TikTok confused many people.
What’s in the TikTok video?
On July 23, two days prior, a user of the TikTok app by the name of @danny phantom2pt0 said Hailey had revealed she and Justin were expecting their first child.
The article featured a picture of Hailey seated next to the physician, her hand resting on her abdomen. On the left side of it was a tiny image of a sonogram.
“Hailey Bieber recently announced she’s expecting her first kid with the Beebs,” the video’s description stated. The excerpt quickly caught the interest of many people and has now received over 600k views.

Is Hailey Bieber pregnant?
The image in the video is taken from a post that Justin published in April 2019. The singer shared a number of images, the first of which was the ultrasound image that appeared in the TikTok video.
When the image was first taken, Justin captioned it, “If you thought it was April fools.” Even though it was unclear why Hailey went to the doctor, she quickly shot down the pregnancy rumours by writing: “Very hilarious” in a comment on Justin’s post.
Years later, the same image is still being used to promote the speculations that Hailey may be pregnant. In truth, she won’t be expecting in 2022.
What did Justin Bieber say about having children?
Justin has been very forthcoming with his opinions on children and has frequently discussed them in public. Justin stated in one of his appearances with Ellen DeGeneres that he and Hailey would love to have children soon. The singer made it plain that they would only have children after Hailey felt secure in the relationship.
Justin permitted Hailey to make the decision regarding the number of children they would have since he believed it was her right to do so because it was her body.
