Hailey Bieber is gracing the cover of the October issue of Vogue Australia. As part of her coverage, Hailey talks about her marriage to Justin Bieber and their happy relationship, modelling career and online haters.
On her transition from a dancer to a model: “When I was about to turn 17, I was in Miami doing the summer program at the Miami City Ballet and I had to decide if I was going to stay there and train for the rest of high school or if I was going to go back to New York and try to make it as a model instead. As a dancer, I got hurt a lot, and I didn’t know if I was going to be good enough to make it into the company when I was done. I finally said to myself: ‘You know what? I don’t feel like you’re a prodigy at this.’ Yes, I loved it and I did it well, but I knew I wasn’t going to be a professional dancer. I wasn’t devastated, because I was realistic about it.”
On the attempt to trademark Bieber Beauty: “Everybody thought the name was already taken, but actually my husband owns it. I couldn’t register it myself, because Justin owns all trademarking for his last name. Honestly, that was more about being proactive. I’m not sure how I want to dip into that space and it’s been a conversation between me and my husband. He thinks that’s a space I should explore and I think it’s actually a space that he could explore men’s-wise.”
On her marriage to Justin Bieber: “I said that when we had first married. Look, marriage is always going to be hard and I think good relationships are the relationships that you put the work into. Specifically, I said that when there were a lot of new things. I had never lived with someone before. I never had to cohabit with somebody in that way, so I was learning how to share space with someone for the first time. We were trying to bend in each other’s direction and learn what was comfortable.”
