It was confirmed back in December that Justin and Nicole were expecting their first child.
The pair got married in a secret ceremony on a beach in Tulum, Mexico in March last year.
Pictures published by TMZ, showed Justin in a cream jacket and black bow tie kissing Nicole, who looked great in a backless white wedding dress.
The bride went barefoot on the sand and at one point was twirled around by smitten Justin.
The couple began dating in early 2023 but didn’t go official until December of that year.
They got engaged in Summer 2024 in Italy, while Justin was on the promo trail for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice at the Venice Film Festival.
The pair posed for pictures at the glitzy event and a huge diamond ring could be seen glistening on Nicole’s finger.
The actress is the daughter of late journalist David Bloom who died from a blood clot in 2003 while covering the Iraq war.
Justin and Jennifer first met in 2007, before beginning their relationship in 2011.
They married in 2015, announcing their split two years later and their subsequent divorce.
“This decision was mutual and lovingly made at the end of last year,” the two shared in a statement.
“We are two best friends who have decided to part ways as a couple, but look forward to continuing our cherished friendship.”
Justin eventually opened up to the New York Times about the divorce, saying, “The good news is that was probably the most — I’m choosing my words really carefully — it was kind of the most gentle separation, in that there was no animosity.
“Again, neither one of us is dead, neither one of us is looking to throw hatchets at each other…. It’s more like, it’s amicable.
“It’s boring, but, you know, we respected each other enough that it was as painless as it could be.”
He added: “It was heartbreaking, only in the sense that the friendship would not be the same, as far as just the day to day.
“But the friendship is shifting and changing, you know, so that part is something that we’re both very proud of.”
