The Biebers revealed they’re expecting a new addition to their family by sharing a heartfelt video on Instagram from their vow renewal ceremony in Hawaii earlier this month.

Although they were thrilled to announce the pregnancy, a source informed PEOPLE that the couple initially wanted to keep the news private for as long as they could. "When they found out that Hailey was pregnant, it was just the best day for them. They have both been very emotional about it," an insider said. "They feel so blessed. They've also felt very protective of the baby from the moment they found out."

Justin and Hailey were inundated with reports of relationship problems for months, and may have felt pressured to announce her pregnancy to combat the rumors, though they continue to remain silent on the allegations.
