Justin Bieber loves to rile up the internet and cause speculation. First, it was his surprise engagement to Hailey Baldwin in July of 2018, and then their secretive did-they-or-didn’t they wedding that followed. The two clearly enjoy staying at the center of the spotlight.
And Justin’s Instagram post today was no exception…
First, he posted this sonogram image:
Immediately, people began commenting, “Congratulations!” and “OMG!” His fans got majorly excited about the prospect of a Bieber-Baldwin baby. TBH there is a 99.999% chance that’s a gorgeous kid.
But some felt like they smelled something fishy.
Justin clapped back at the commenters claiming this was a fake sonogram meant to prank us by saying “If U thought it was April fools…”
In the photo, Hailey looks to be in a doctor’s office with her stomach protruding. There is a man who looks like a medical professional at the end of the bed, holding her knees, and a woman who also looks to be a medical professional at her bedside. Hailey’s making a surprised expression.
Justin posted two more photos in the series.
In this next one, Hailey’s face looks more serene, as if she is excited about the upcoming pregnancy.
And in this last one, her fingers delicately rest on her growing bump.
But is this all an elaborate joke? Or is it real?
We decided to do a bit of investigating on our own, so like any good internet sleuth, we tried a reverse Google image search. And voila!
Justin’s sonogram picture came up… except it wasn’t actually Justin’s sonogram. It was just a stock sonogram!
Which made us think… the baby in that image looks pretty big, but Hailey’s stomach in the earlier photos looks pretty small.
What is going on here, people?!
