Justin Bieber new dad? Fans in frenzy after singer posts pic cradling tiny newborn

Is Justin Bieber a new dad? Fans were thrown into a mad frenzy, on Wednesday, April 28, after the Sorry singer - who has expressed in the past a desire to be a father - posted a series of pictures cradling a tiny newborn baby.

The Love Yourself singer, married to supermodel Hailey Bieber, looked relaxed on the sofa wearing a grey tracksuit while doting on the tiny little one. "LOVE YOU RYVER 4 LIFE I WILL PROTECT YOU!" wrote the star alongside the adorable snap. Fans went into overdrive asking whether the star had become a father.

"What you're already a father now? [shocked face emoji," wrote one fan and: "Imagine this was the announcement of Hailey and Justin's first born," added another.

"You’ll be the best dad can’t wait for little Justins and Haileys," a third penned.

Many asked: "Whose child is this?" and the little one belongs to friends of Justin, Jason and Lauren Kennedy. The cute newborn has featured heavily on their own personal Instagram accounts.
