Justin Bieber recently gave fans a rare peek into the values he and his wife Hailey Bieber are building their family around.In an Instagram post marking the couple’s seventh wedding anniversary, the “Daisies” singer shared a list of “The Bieber Family” values from a picture frame hung on the wall.Some of the values included: rest as worship, longevity and a sustainable pace of life, quality and creating products that serve humanity, gratitude and generosity of time, money and respect.Justin, 31, and Hailey, 28, welcomed their first child, Jack Blues, in August 2024. The couple has largely kept their parenting private, but this values post may signal how mightily fatherhood is shaping Justin’s priorities — and how the pair are raising their son.Psychology and mental health expert Steven Buchwald at Manhattan Mental Health Counseling said the Bieber’s principles align closely with research backed practices that can improve both physical and mental wellbeing.”Growing up in a value-oriented household supports secure attachment, emotional intelligence, and social development, which have lasting benefits into adulthood,” he told Newsweek.Buchwald highlighted four key pillars from the list: health and wellness, gratitude, sustainability and purpose and family environment.Prioritizing physical health through exercise, nutrition and self-care is linked to lower rates of depression and anxiety, he said.Buchwald pointed to research from The Lancet Psychiatry which found adults who engaged in regular physical activity experienced a 25 percent reduction in depressive symptoms.”Strong family values can have a profound effect on an individual’s psychological wellbeing and resilience, particularly when they emphasize health, gratitude, and sustainability,” he said.Justin, who has 293 million followers on Instagram, received thousands of comments from friends and fans on the post.”This just shows how good of a dad and mom justin and hailey are, this truly is so beautiful,” one user wrote.”Love the last one. All human life has worth,” added another.”All on point,” a third said.Yet, Justin’s recent run-ins with the paparazzi had some questioning how his public behavior aligns with the ideals he’s laid out.In June 2025, he was filmed confronting photographers outside Malibu’s Soho House, visibly frustrated with what he deemed invasions of privacy.Others criticized the lack of acknowledgement for his faith.”Bro, where’s our Father’s name?” one asked.”Where’s God?” another questioned.Buchwald believes that the list reflects a shift toward more intentional parenting among public figures.He also explained that practical steps such as journaling, regular exercise and family discussions around purpose can translate values into everyday resilience.”Family values emphasizing health, gratitude, and sustainability are more than aspirational,” Buchwald said. “They are evidence-based pillars that support long-term psychological wellbeing. By cultivating these habits, individuals strengthen resilience, life satisfaction and emotional balance.”
