In February, the Canadian "Yummy" singer, 26, told Apple Music's Zane Lowe that he wasn't planning on becoming a father anytime soon. "I want to start my own family in due time," Bieber shared with Lowe. "I want to enjoy being married for a little bit, go on tour, be married, enjoy traveling with just us, build more of our relationship. I think that it's definitely the next step, for sure."
