She didn’t attend the Met Gala
Pregnancy rumors surrounding the couple hit an all-time high on social media after they skipped the invite-only charity event on Monday.
Since making her Met Gala debut in 2015, the Rhode founder has attended the event a total of seven times.
As the event went on, numerous X users began posting about ‘waiting to see if Hailey Bieber will show up at Met pregnant.’
Other insisted that ‘Hailey Bieber was supposed to announce her pregnancy’ at the gala.
After she didn’t, one began to wonder if they had just gotten ‘carried away’ with the pregnancy rumors.

Wearing a baggy jacket in the sweltering heat at Coachella
Online sleuths couldn’t help but wonder if Hailey was hiding a baby bump due to her strange choice to wear an oversized jacket in the sweltering desert heat.
Despite the high temperatures in Indio, California, while attending at Coachella, Hailey remained bundled up all weekend in various baggy looks.
On the first day of the festival, she sported a green soccer jersey, white shorts and a classic pair of black Mary Jane shoes.
By the last, the bombshell was spotted holding her jacket in front of her stomach as she walked around the music festival’s grounds.

Her husband Justin shared a selfie of himself crying
While Justin sparked some concern by sharing an selfie of himself crying, the picture further fueled rumors that the Biebers were going through an emotional time.
At the time, Hailey commented, he was ‘a pretty crier,’ indicating that he was most likely shedding tears of joy.
Following the news, one fan commented under the selfie, posted on April, 27, that he ‘was crying because he wanted to share the news but had to wait.’
‘He was crying happy tears and y’all tore this women down for nothing! Congratulations!!!!’ another wrote following the announcement.

Her dad Stephen Baldwin publicly asked fans to pray for the couple
Perhaps one of the biggest signs that Hailey and Justin were preparing to enter a new chapter in their lives was her dad publicly asking fans to pray for them.
In late February, the 57-year-old actor reposted a video of Justin singing, which was shared by All Things Possible Ministries founder Victor Marx and captioned: ‘Christians please when you think of Justin & Hailey, take a moment to offer a little prayer for them to have wisdom, protection, and draw close to the Lord.’
The evangelist, 58, had written that his wife Eileen Marx and Hailey’s mother Kennya Deodato Baldwin ‘pray often together’ for the married couple of over five years.
‘There are special challenges that folks in high visibility positions face and also the enemy doesn’t want them to draw closer to Jesus,’ Victor wrote.
‘So often regardless of the material things or the accolades they often face spiritual warfare that intense and seeks to ship-wreck their faith, marriage, and life in general. So thank you.’
Stephen Baldwin (pictured with daughter Hailey in 2016) publicly asked for prayers for his daughter and son-in-law Justin Bieber in an Instagram Story, which caused concern from fans
Her flowy white dress in Hawaii
Earlier this month, social media users took to X to speculate that Hailey was pregnant based on her choice to wear a flowy white dress.
A fellow holiday-goer, who witnessed the couple at an outdoor bar, shared snaps of Justin and Hailey sitting closely together as they looked at something on his phone.
Before expecting her little one, Hailey’s street style largely consisted of crop tops and midriff-baring ensembles.
Additionally, fans noticed she was sharing more throwbacks than usual or just photos for campaigns, which were clearly taken before her bump became visible.
