Justin and Hailey Bieber’s new baby son is the biggest blessing for the couple. 

“The pregnancy was something that they very much wished and prayed for,” a source close to the couple told PEOPLE. “The day they found out that Hailey was pregnant was the best ever for Justin. He was over the moon with excitement. It was a big celebration for them.”

Bieber announced their baby’s birth in an Instagram post, writing, “WELCOME HOME JACK BLUES BIEBER.”

Hailey reshared the photo on her Instagram story, adding a blue heart and teddy bear emoji. 

The Biebers were overjoyed to find out they were expecting, with a source telling PEOPLE the day they found out Hailey was pregnant was “just the best day for them.”

“Everyone is excited for them,” the source continued. “They will be great parents, and Justin will be super involved. This will be the next important project for him. He’s so excited to raise his baby…They have both been very emotional about it. They feel so blessed.”

The couple announced Hailey’s pregnancy earlier this year with a series of photos and videos posted to their social media pages. The announcement also included a video of the Biebers renewing their vows.
