Every year, people take full-advantage of April Fools’ Day.
Most jokes tend to be pretty harmless, but some fans think that Justin may have gone too far this time.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin tied the knot in private, sometime back in late 2018.
Since then, Hailey has taken Justin’s last name, and it’s clear that the two are pretty crazy in love.
Not long ago, one person accused Justin of “getting back” at Selena Gomez by being with Hailey.
Which sounds pretty absurd, and Justin was quick to shut that person down and confirm his devotion to Hailey.
He said: “I absolutely loved and love Selena she will always hold a peace in my heart, but I am head over heels in love with my wife.”
Aw, our little Biebs is growing up!
Around that time, he also made a lengthy post explaining why he wasn’t releasing new music.
“I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep rooted issues that I have as most of us have, so that I don’t fall apart, so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be,” he wrote.
And of course, at the mention of being a father, some fans wondered if Hailey was pregnant.
On April Fools’ Day of all days, he posted a photo of an ultrasound.
People were quick to assume it was all just a joke and laugh it off.
He followed his post up with a few pictures of Hailey, seemingly being examined at a doctor’s office.
“If U thought it was April fools,” he wrote, and fans absolutely fell for it.
Fans went wild with stunned disbelief, protests that it’s “too soon,” and whole-hearted congratulations.
Some highlights from the comment section include:
“Mazel tov!!” “UM WHAT I HOPE THIS IS REAL” “SHUT UPPPPPPPP” “please say sike” “Noooo!” “THIS BETTER BE APRIL FOOLS .” “I’m not ready” “IS SHE PREGNANT?!”
He even had sweet baby angel Ariana Grande fooled.
She was one of many high-profile Instagrammers who weighed in, including Bieber’s own mother Pattie Mallette, who deadpanned “Ya well it better be.”
However, Bieber’s wife Hailey Baldwin had the best reaction of them all.
Hailey’s less-than-amused response should’ve been enough to tip off his fans, but some people still didn’t catch on until he posted yet another pic.
Not long after, he followed it up with a post confirming it was all just an April Fools’ joke.
And boy, he sure fooled us!
Eyeroll .
We, and the rest of the world, should’ve known better.
If you do a reverse Google image search on the “ultrasound” photo, you can quickly confirm that the photo has been used elsewhere before.
It seems that every year, a celeb has to learn the lesson that joking about fertility is not funny.
Fans were pretty upset with Justin over the prank, and rightfully so.
