JUSTIN and Hailey Bieber appear to be putting an end to speculation about the state of their marriage with the announcement of their pregnancy.
And Justin is all in, showing his protective side and embracing his role as a father-to-be, according to a body language expert.

Justin, 30, and Hailey, 27, revealed they are expecting their first child on Thursday.
The famous couple shared photos and videos from a vow renewal and maternity shoot on Instagram, complete with a lacy white dress for the mom-to-be.
Meanwhile, Justin looked much more casual in a fur coat and backwards baseball cap.
But while the singer has been criticized for his sloppy style before – fans called him “embarrassing” and disrespectful – body language expert Judi James said Justin is now showing his commitment.

“The good news in terms of Justin’s role here is that he’s not being presented as the kind of marital show pony that a lot of A-list husbands tend to do when formal photos are being taken,” James told The US Sun .
“Although Hailey is swathed in happiness and acres of white lace, Justin is still within his comfort zone of baseball cap and bags and his pose appears relatively relaxed as he gazes at her.
“Hailey has always seemed like the confident protector of their relationship.
“But here Justin is seen looking taller and tilting his head to kiss Hailey while holding her face in his hands, suggesting he has taken on a more protective role.”
This kiss, in particular, says a lot, according to James.
“A kiss on the cheek is the most romantic,” she said.
“And their facial expressions appear serious as they kiss, suggesting a desire to register emotional intensity.”
They also show a united front, she added.
“We can see Hailey holding her belly in a ‘headless’ pose while Justin stands behind her and holds her too, to show unity,” she said.
“His hand is placed near her belly, while her hand rests on top of it in a gesture of endorsement, suggesting an emphasis on pregnancy as a shared experience for Justin.”
HAILEY HAPPY SYMBOLISM
In short, James said the shoot feels like an “emotional reset” for the couple.
She suggested they pay “almost forensic attention” to creating a “romantic collision” in the vow renewal footage.
“Their body language seems to signal a sense of completion for Hailey,” she continued, who “went back in time visually and virtually to create the narrative of bringing her baby to the wedding.”

James also highlighted the “nonverbal symbolism” that Justin and Hailey are “welcoming the baby into their own private world of idyllic marriage.”
“Hailey appears to be telling fans that she is completely happy with
absolutely everything in your life,” she said.
“[That] It could be an important statement from her given recent speculation following things like Justin’s tearful social media post.”
A ROCKY ROAD?
Justin and Hailey tied the knot on September 13, 2018, but their marriage has been plagued by rumors and speculation of trouble in paradise.
Some fans are convinced that Justin continued to hold onto Selena Gomez during his relationship with Hailey.
Meanwhile, a viral TikTok theory emerged that Canadian-born Justin married Hailey so he could stay in the United States.

Fans theorized that Justin’s work visa was about to expire, and because of 2014 criminal charges for careless driving and resisting arrest, he wouldn’t be able to renew it.
Justin also made some statements that hinted at marital problems.
“When I got married, I had an emotional breakdown because I thought marriage would solve all my problems, but it didn’t,” he admitted in 2022.
Then, earlier this year, Hailey’s father, Stephen Baldwin, shared a message from minister Victor Marx.
“Christians, please, when you think of Justin and Hailey, take a moment to say a little prayer for wisdom, protection, and closer to the Lord,” Marx wrote.
Afterwards, a source said People, “There is no divorce and no truth in it. They are very, very happy.”
