Justin Bieber says he and Hailey Baldwin saved sex for marriage
Justin Bieber opened up to Vogue magazine about his relationship with wife Hailey Baldwin. The singer said he had a problem with sex before rekindling his romance with Baldwin and decided they would save sex for after they got married.
Pop star Justin Bieber was blasted on social media over an April Fools' Day joke that fell flat.
Bieber, 25, caused a shock among his fans on Monday when he posted a picture of an ultrasound on his Instagram page. He did not leave a caption on the mysterious post, causing many to speculate that his wife, Hailey Baldwin, 22, was pregnant with their first child.
“Very funny,” Baldwin commented on the post, People reported.
The “Love Yourself” singer posted another photo of Baldwin surrounded by what appeared to be medical professionals.
“If U thought it was April fools,” he captioned the photo, implying that there was validity to his ultrasound post.
However, the singer finally clarified in another post that he was joking all along. Bieber posted a photo of another ultrasound photo but this time there was a puppy photoshopped in the image.
“Wait omg is that a,,,APRIL FOOLS,” he captioned the post.
The elaborate joke was criticized by social media users pointing out that jokes regarding pregnancy were insulting to those who have trouble conceiving or who have miscarried. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 12.1 percent of women between the ages of 15 to 44 have impaired fecundity.
