Their new bundle of joy’s name has a strong significance in that it continues the Bieber tradition with family members who have “JB” initials. 

As noted by People magazine, Justin, his father Jeremy Bieber, and his siblings Jazmyn and Jaxon all have “JB” initials, a custom that has been passed down and continues with the newest member of the Bieber family.

The couple announced they were expecting their first child by sharing a video montage in May.
