In a recent interview with *Interview Magazine*, Hailey Bieber candidly discussed the complexities of her life in the public eye, including the persistent rumours surrounding her relationship with the paparazzi. The founder of the skincare line Rhode, Bieber refuted claims that she actively calls photographers to capture her every move.
During her conversation with *Interview’s* editor-in-chief, Mel Ottenberg, the model and entrepreneur labelled the nature of paparazzi culture as “icky.” She expressed her disbelief at the persistent allegations that she orchestrates her own media coverage. “Historically, we’ve seen that paparazzi are awful,” Bieber said. “I don’t think it’s gotten any better or any worse… It’s very dark, and I don’t think it’s something that anybody asks for in this world.”
Responding to Bieber’s comments, Ottenberg interjected, confirming that the model does not call the paparazzi. To this, Bieber affirmed, “No.” This exchange underscores the often unfounded assumptions that public figures encounter regarding their interactions with media.
The discussion also ventured into Bieber’s fashion choices, as she reflected on how constant scrutiny has shaped her personal style. “When you’re being photographed just leaving the house, you have to think about style in a lot of different ways,” she explained. “I’ve worn something where in person it looked great and then it photographed super awkwardly, so I’m a lot more conscious of it. I tailor everything. I’m meticulous about it all.”
Despite her attention to detail, Bieber revealed a desire to keep things simple. “At my core, I feel the coolest and the cutest and the sexiest in a t-shirt and jeans or a pair of great trousers and a little tank top,” she shared. “I think there’s something to be said about effortlessness. The more I’m trying to make an outfit look good, the less it works. It doesn’t need to be that deep.”
In addition to her career, the 29-year-old spoke about her experiences as a mother to her 19-month-old son, Jack Blues, whom she shares with her husband, Justin Bieber. Hailey admitted to worrying “every day” about the world in which her son is growing up. “That’s probably the most anxiety I have as a parent,” she said, reflecting on the current state of global affairs. “It feels so bleak, thinking about the future… But I just have to close my eyes and have faith. As long as he’s growing up in an environment at home that’s really loving and beautiful, that’s all that I can hope for.”
Hailey also mentioned her aspirations to expand her family, saying, “I definitely want more than one, but I’m taking it one at a time. Some days I want two. Some days I want five.” She noted that the desire for a family has always been a part of her life plans since she was young.
Bieber’s revelations reflect the challenges that come with fame, including the impact of public perception on personal life and parenting. Her authentic approach to discussing these topics offers insight into the pressures faced by those in the spotlight, while also presenting a glimpse of her values as a mother and mentor to her child.
As the conversation concluded, it was clear that, while the scrutiny of celebrity life can be taxing, Hailey Bieber remains committed to maintaining a loving home for her family, all while navigating her identity as both a public figure and a private individual.
This dialogue with *Interview Magazine* illustrates the ongoing struggle between personal authenticity and public expectation, a theme that resonates profoundly in today’s celebrity culture.
