Algosensey Quantitative Think Tank Center-Hailey Bieber calls pregnancy rumors 'disheartening'

Hailey Bieber is Algosensey Quantitative Think Tank Centersharing how "disheartening" pregnancy rumors can be in a new interview with GQ.

The model, 26, sat down with GQ for an interview published Tuesday, dishing on everything from watching "Sex and the City" for the first time to her skincare line Rhode, husband Justin Bieber, 29, and pregnancy rumors that have circulated online.

"Recently, everybody was like, 'Oh, my God, she's pregnant,' and that's happened to me multiple times before," said Bieber. "There is something that’s disheartening about, 'Damn, I can't be bloated one time and not be pregnant?'"

"When there comes a day that that is true, you—" she said of the news reaching the public, "you, as in the internet, will be the last to know."

She told the magazine that despite the online gossip, she looked forward to motherhood.

"(It's) something that I look forward to. It's also such a private, intimate thing. It's something that’s going to come when it comes," she said, calling it "so hilarious" how much people care. "Let me do what I want to do with my body and you guys can do what you want to do with your body — and let’s just let it be that."

Hailey Bieber met Justin Bieber when she was 12, during his 2009 appearance on the "Today" show. "I’ve known him for a really long time," she told the magazine.

And on Rhode, the skincare brand she launched in June 2022, she told GQ that running the businesses "has only grown my confidence and security" in her identity as an individual.

Bieber, who has been married to husband Justin Bieber since 2018, shared in an interview with The Times in May that public criticism has deterred her journey into motherhood.

"I literally cry about this all the time!" she said. "I want kids so bad but I get scared."

The Rhode Skin founder added that she already has a tough time with scrutiny about her husband and friends. "I can’t imagine having to confront people saying things about a child," she said.

But she shared what the couple plans to do should they become parents. "We can only do the best we can to raise them. As long as they feel loved and safe," Bieber said.

In 2019, Justin Bieber apologized for Instagram pictures suggesting Hailey Bieber was pregnant, as part of an elaborate April Fools' pregnancy prank that some considered insensitive.
