Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has announced the arrival of his first child with wife Hailey Bieber. In an Instagram post, Bieber shared a tender photo of his newborn son's tiny foot.

"Welcome home," Bieber captioned the post early Saturday morning, also revealing his son's name: Jack Blues Bieber.

Celebrities like Katy Perry and Kylie Jenner were quick to offer their congratulations.

"Your blessing has arrived," Perry commented on Bieber's post.

Jenner added: "I can't handle this little foot."

The couple had announced their pregnancy in May, sharing a video and photos of Hailey showcasing her baby bump in a white lace dress.

The 27-year-old American model and Bieber secretly tied the knot in New York in 2018.

Justin Bieber, known for chart-topping hits like "Baby," "Love Me," and "Yummy," gained worldwide fame at just 13 years old.

Last year, he had to cancel the remainder of his Justice world tour as he recovered from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that can lead to facial paralysis.

In a surprise appearance at Coachella last month, Bieber joined Nigerian star Tems on stage to perform his 2020 hit single "Essence" alongside Wizkid.

Hailey, daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and niece of Alec, William, and Daniel Baldwin, is the founder of the skincare line Rhode.
