April 1 is celebrated as April Fool's day and popular brands and even celebrities follow the tradition of pulling pranks on their fans. Famed American singer Justin Bieber too managed to take to social media with a rather interesting prank as he posted an ultrasound picture on his Instagram suggesting that he and his wife Hailey Baldwin are expecting a baby. He also posted pictures of wife Hailey in what looked like a medical clinic with doctors around. It all turned out to be an April Fool's prank after he later posted the same ultrasound with a puppy photoshopped in it.

After his initial post about pregnancy, several fans started to cheer for the singer who has bee going through a time with depression. Taking it as a good sign, fans posted celebratory messages for him only to find that it was a prank. This joke did not go well with many users. Soon users started slamming the pop star for insensitivity towards couples who struggle to conceive or have lost children. Justin Bieber Admits He Still Loves Selena Gomez But Is Head Over Heels for Wife Hailey Baldwin in His Instagram Post Addressed to a Troll.
