Singer Justin, 30, who was discovered online at the age of 13, is known for hits including Baby, Love Me and Yummy.

The Canadian superstar was forced to cancel the remaining dates of his Justice world tour last year amid his ongoing recovery from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that can cause facial paralysis.

Hailey, 27, is the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and niece of actors Alec, William and Daniel Baldwin.

The couple got married in a secret ceremony in New York in 2018, followed by a more lavish ceremony the following year.

They announced the pregnancy with video and images from a photoshoot of Hailey debuting her bump in a white lace dress earlier this year, during an apparent vow renewal held in a field.
