Justin has been vocal about his desire to become a father over the years — but told “Ellen DeGeneres Show” viewers in 2021 that his wife was “not ready” for motherhood.
“I’m going to have as many as Hailey is willing to push out,” he said at the time. “I’d love to have myself a little tribe.”

Hailey clarified to Vogue in her March 2019 cover story that she was “never a superfan,” claiming, “It was never that crazed, screaming thing. I didn’t think about it in any kind of way except for the fact that he was cute.”
