Justin Bieber is wondering if it’s too late to say sorry.
The “What Do You Mean?” singer recalled a tense moment that occurred when wife Hailey Bieber was giving birth to their son Jack Blues Bieber, 15 months, last August.
“I remember dealing with, like — there was tension with — ’cause we had a doula and then we had a nurse as well, and the nurse and the doula were really kind of butting heads,” he said on his Twitch live stream Oct. 27, per footage shared from the stream on social media, “then I was butting heads with the doula.”
“I was hella emotional because it’s like, this is like one of the most important times of your life,” Justin continued, “and I remember just like, I think I was being really strong with the doula.”
The first-time dad added that he felt he had “good instincts” when it came to his newborn son, which occasionally put him at odds with the doula during Hailey’s birthing process.
Hailey Bieber is getting candid about her experience with postpartum hemorrhage. In a new interview with Vogue, the Rhode founder opened up about her challenging delivery.

“I don’t want you to take away from my moment either as the dad,’” Justin recounted telling the doula. “‘I got this too.’ There’s times when I need to console Hailey and I felt like she was pushing me to the side so that she could do [her job].”
The 31-year-old went on to share that Hailey didn’t approve of their interactions and pushed the “Yukon” singer to apologize.
As Justin explained, “So she’s like, ‘You need to apologize to the doula. Just clear the air.'”
For her part, Hailey had previously opened up about the complications she went through while giving birth to Jack, which involved her being medically induced and took 18 hours.
“Giving birth was the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” she told Vogue in a cover story interview published in May. “I was on that s–t. I was doing everything. I felt stronger physically than I ever had before.”
She also revealed that doctors used a Foley balloon—a catheter inserted into the uterus and filled with saline to induce labor—to make for an even more uncomfortable experience.
“That s–t was so crazy,” Hailey said. “That was not fun. They broke my water. I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing.”
It’s literally music to Beliebers’ ears. Justin Bieber dropped his seventh studio album “Swag” on July 11.
Despite her fears, ultimately Hailey had faith in her medical team.
“I trust my doctor with my life,” she explained. “And so I had peace that I knew she would never let anything happen to me. But I was bleeding really badly, and people die, and the thought crosses your mind.”
