Now, I’m a well-documented Justin Bieber apologist (I just want my sweet Canadian son-husband to be okay, after all) and the list of things I’ll forgive is long-and yes, it includes his brief dalliance with a nose ring-but this insensitive misstep, I can’t justify. In the words of every stern mom everywhere, I’m not even mad, I’m disappointed. (And that statistic was as of 2011, when the last known infertility study in Canada was conducted.) The backlash to Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin’s distasteful April Fool’s prank has been swift, and with good reason-pregnancy as a joke is most definitely not funny to, say, the 11.5 to 15.7 per cent of couples in Canada who are struggling with infertility. Heck, I’d even take a faux retirement announcement à la Tom Brady over this thoughtless gag. A pregnancy prank on April Fool’s day, really? Couldn’t you have pretended to dye your hair a wild colour, like Mindy Kaling? Stretched some shrink wrap over a toilet bowl? A fake Game of Thrones spoiler, that’s funny. I know Bieber says he’s taking some time off from making new music, but methinks he has a bit too much time on his hands if he’s out there staging obstetrician appointments, no? *Tugs at one’s shirt collar awkwardly whilst grimacing* He followed up with a third photo, this time of a dog in the sonogram image. Bieber posted about the would-be happy news on his Instagram account not once but twice, first sharing an image of a sonogram, then a carousel of his wife at the doctor’s office, even stating that it was most certainly not an April Fool’s gag. That is a decent apology, Biebs.In case you missed it, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin pretended to be expecting their first child together as an April Fool’s joke yesterday and people are not impressed. I think With pranks u sometimes have to roll that dice. Some might have laughed but some were offended. You sometimes just don’t know what will hurt someone’s feelings not to compare pregnancy with cake in the face but it’s just to paint the picture of not knowing what will offend. it’s like when I shoved cake in my little sisters face for her birthday expecting her to laugh but she cried. The rest of the apology read, I truly don’t want anyone to be hurt by a prank. But I will apologize anyway and take responsibility and say sorry to people who were offended.' 'A lot of people I know, their first go to prank on April fools is telling their parents they are pregnant to get a big reaction. 'I didn’t at all mean to be insensitive to people who can’t have children,' Bieber said. Not a great way to start, but his caption improved. 'There’s always gonna be people offended, there’s also people who don’t take jokes very well, I am a prankster and it was APRIL FOOLS,' Bieber said. The first part of the apology started out rough. Cue the eye rolls from everyone who was duped by these posts (me). 'Wait omg is that a, APRIL FOOLS,' Bieber said in his caption. But a couple of hours later, he posted another sonogram that replaced the baby with. I genuinely thought this was real for a hot second, as did a lot of the internet. 'If U thought it was April fools,' Bieber said in the caption. Then Bieber took the prank even further by posting a second picture, this time of Baldwin sitting in a doctor's office checking out her 'bump' with two doctors. But it was also April Fools' Day, so a bunch of people in the comments section were also taking this photo with a heavy dose of skepticism. Obvi, this made fans and friends of the Biebers think they were having a baby. The 'Sorry' singer posted a sonogram to his Instagram on Monday, April 1, that was dated Feb. On April Fools Day, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin pulled a prank that's, unfortunately, an April Fools staple. And unlike the typical celebrity apology that seems like more of a PR requirement than a genuine apology, Justin Bieber's apology for his pregnancy April Fools prank seems sincere.

And that's what the Biebs just did following an April Fools joke that was in bad taste.
