Baby Jack is the couple's first child. The couple got married in 2018 and announced they were expecting in May this year - according to People magazine, Hailey was six months pregnant at the time.

Justin’s mom, 49-year-old Patty Mallette, shared that photo on her Instagram Story and her excitement was palpable in her caption.
“OH MY HEART,” Mallette gushed in all caps. “WELCOME BABY JACK!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
THANK THE LORD WHAT A MIRACLE!,' she wrote over the photo.
Hailey’s dad, actor Stephen Baldwin offered a congratulations to his daughter Hailey Bieber after she welcomed her first child with husband Justin Bieber despite a family rift.
Just minutes later, Baldwin, 58, commented on Patty’s post, “Amen, Congratulations to you and may God continue to bless our family.”
Justin, 30, first shot to global stardom as a teen pop sensation in 2009, since then churning out hits including the mega-selling "Baby", featuring rapper Ludacris, and "Somebody to Love“.
His army of fans, known as "Beliebers," have helped make him one of the best-selling artists of all time.
US reality star and entrepreneur Kylie Jenner and singer Katy Perry were among the stars congratulating the couple.
"I can't handle this little foot," Jenner wrote, adding: "JACK BLUES."
"Your blessing has arrived," Perry wrote.
