The 2024 Victoria’s Secret fashion show has now come and gone… And one of the brand’s top models was nowhere to be seen. So the question is, where was Hailey Bieber?
The lingerie brand’s latest fashion show made headlines for a LOT of reasons on Tuesday. Like, seriously — it brought together supermodel sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid, returned icon Tyra Banks to her rightful place on the runway, and gave us an iconic Cher live performance, just to name a few. And while Kendall Jenner was noticeably absent, she wasn’t the only angel missing… Justin Bieber’s wife was M.I.A. too. And there are reportedly MULTIPLE reasons why she made the decision to skip.

On Wednesday, an insider spoke to DailyMail.com about Hailey’s absence and claimed there are three main reasons. First and foremost, she just gave birth to her first baby — son Jack Blues Bieber — less than two months ago:
“Hailey is nesting with her new baby Jack and does not want to work right now. Her baby is only seven weeks old and she is full-on mama bear.”
That’s totally understandable! Seven weeks is not a long time, and the fashion show would have surely required a lot of prep — which probably taken her away from Jack. But her baby boy isn’t the only reason…
The insider claimed that the current state of her relationship with her father Stephen Baldwin is another contributing factor. As we know, she’s not too close with her famous fam these days, reportedly because of tensions with her father. Huh.
But a third reason has to do with all the drama surrounding Diddy…
We all know the disgraced rapper has an eyebrow-raising history with Justin, who has reportedly been advised to steer clear of all the chatter. So Hailey likely and reasonably didn’t want to open herself up the opportunity for an onslaught of questions. Especially since the girl has her own health to worry about on top of all this! Remember, it was just in 2022 she suffered a mini-stroke and then heart surgery! So she needs to keep her stress levels down — especially as a new mom! The insider dished:
“Hailey is very aware that she needs to avoid stress during her postpartum era because she is in a delicate place and her health is a top priority. It was only two years ago that she had heart surgery. Since then she has been very mindful of keeping stress at bay to deal with her health. She does not need petty attacks, she wants kindness around her.”
Very true… Stress is the LAST thing she needs. And while somewhat unavoidable, better to do everything in her power to keep it to a minimum by riding under the radar just like Justin!
