Admitting she could have “probably hid it until the end”, she said, “I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy outwardly. I felt like I was hiding this big secret, and it didn’t feel good. I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.”
Hailey also opened up about how rumors about her marriage continue to impact her almost six years after she tied the knot with Justin.
“People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one. ‘Oh, they’re falling apart. They hate each other. They’re getting divorced.’ It’s like people don’t want to believe that we’re happy,” she said.
“I used to try to act like it hurts less and less. I’ve tried to think that you get used to it at a certain point, that this is what’s going to be said and this is how people are going to be. But I realize that it doesn’t actually ever hurt any less,” Hailey confessed.

Dating rumors surfaced again after Hailey was spotted on vacation with Justin and his family in Tulum, Mexico.
Justin and Hailey acknowledged that they were in a relationship, but made it clear they were not exclusive.
During another interview with E! News , Hailey said that the pair were “not an exclusive couple,” adding, “relationships at this age are already complicated, but I don’t really like to talk about it because it’s between me and him.”
As for Justin, he spoke with GQ saying that Hailey was “someone I really love” but starting a serious relationship was not a good idea because there was already “a lot that [he had] to commit to,” including a tour.
Later that year, the pair split in a “very dramatic excommunication,” according to People.
A few weeks later, Justin got back together with Hailey.
“The common denominator, I promise you, is always church,” Hailey told Vogue, via People.
“By then we were past the drama. I just gave him a hug. By the end of the conference, he was like, ‘We’re not going to be friends.’ I was like, ‘We’re not?’ “
