The pair announced the pregnancy back in May with a series of photos and videos of Hailey and her bump in a white lace dress. The couple previously got married in a low-key New York ceremony in 2018.

Speaking to W Magazine about her pregnancy, Hailey said she was able to keep her pregnancy news quiet as she "stayed small for a long time."

"I didn’t have a belly, really, until I was six months pregnant, which was when I announced it. I was able to wear big jackets and stuff," she added.

Hailey admitted that she could have "probably hid it until the end," but chose to go public as she "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," she told the outlet.
