Los Angeles, Aug 4 (IANS): American popstar Justin Bieber and his model wife Hailey have dropped a hint of the gender of their baby in the latest pictures they have shared on social media.

World is so wicked, we need him! Justin has always been my daughter’s favourite artist growing up! She has started to sing about God, my heart exploded!
