Hailey Bieber covered a recent issue of GQ Hype, all to promote her skincare line. The interview and photoshoot took place at a resort in Grand Cayman, and Hailey is mostly photographed in swimwear, I guess because it’s a men’s magazine. The photos aren’t super-flattering, but her body looks hot and that’s what counts, I guess. Hailey chats about her early modeling days, her marriage to Justin Bieber and how they rarely consult each other on fashion when they’re doing events together. Some highlights:
She loves Grand Cayman: “The Caribbean is a whole other level of thick. I like the humidity because it makes my skin feel so yummy.”
Moving out of her super-religious house at 17: “I couldn’t wait to just adult. I was young, eyes wide open, super independent, couldn’t wait to move out, couldn’t wait to make my own money. You move into New York City and you’re out at Up & Down at 17.”
Nowadays, home is her husband: “Home to me feels like I can be anywhere. As long as I’m with my dogs and my husband, I’m good. I can make home out of that anywhere.” When I ask what her family thinks of her life, she says, “My dad sometimes is just like, ‘I’m not surprised. I feel like this kind of fast-paced life comes natural to you.’”
She’s been watching Sex and the City for the first time. “It’s way raunchier than I thought. There’s t–ties out all the time. I identify with each of them for different reasons. Shucks, sometimes I think Charlotte’s wide-eyed innocentness in some ways reminds me of me when I was a little bit younger. Just kind of everything is like, ‘Well, why don’t you just try this?’” she says, giving a convincing Kristin Davis impression. She relates to Carrie’s city-girl grit, her love of fashion. She connects with how Samantha “absolutely doesn’t give a f–k, but underneath it all, she actually does really care a lot. And then, who’s the last one? Miranda. I feel like she is just the super-brains, analytical one in the situation. I’m also very analytical, so I kind of identify with that. I was watching an episode, I think it was last night, and she’s like, ‘Let me know when you guys are done talking just about boys. We’re not in seventh grade anymore. Let’s talk about something that matters.’”
Hailey & Justin’s mismatched fashion: “It’s so funny because I see so many people talk about this.” First of all, she insists, Justin’s usually dressed before her. But also, “he may want to wear baggy sweats to dinner, and I might want to wear a tiny little dress just because that’s how I’m feeling. We can’t sit there and be like, ‘So I’m going to wear this and you’re going to wear this.’”
The pregnancy rumors: “Recently, everybody was like, ‘Oh, my God, she’s pregnant,’ and that’s happened to me multiple times before. There is something that’s disheartening about, Damn, I can’t be bloated one time and not be pregnant? It would be a lie if I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, I don’t give a sh-t.’ When there comes a day that that is true, you— you, as in the internet, will be the last to know.”
The idea of motherhood: “[It] is something that I look forward to. It’s also such a private, intimate thing. It’s something that’s going to come when it comes. And it’s just, honestly, at the end of the day, so hilarious how much people f–king care. Let me do what I want to do with my body and you guys can do what you want to do with your body—and let’s just let it be that.”
Missing how free she used to be. “Sometimes I miss the crazy spontaneity of being 18 and running around New York City. It’s like, that’s never going to be my life again. There was also maybe more of a sense of anonymity at the time that I don’t think I’ll ever get back, so maybe I should have appreciated it a little bit more. [But] I very much feel like this is where I’m meant to be. I’ve had times where I didn’t feel so connected to myself or my body for different reasons. Right now in my life, I feel very clear, very solid, very happy. I’m just focused on what’s in front of me.”

I feel like I’ve read about a dozen interviews with Hailey where she’s said all of this before. It’s her holding pattern, and I don’t blame her for waiting to have kids, but I kind of wish she would find a different way of saying “not yet” or “get the f–k out of my uterus.” I wish someone would tell her that she’s not obligated to answer those questions, much less volunteer that information. Interestingly enough, I found her SATC talk the most curious part – she’s 26, almost 27, so she was just a little kid when SATC originally aired. But the reruns have been all over the place for years, it feels weird that she’s only watching it now. And yes, the first seasons were really raunchy!
