Hailey Bieber shares ovarian cyst diagnosis – NBC Connecticut

Hailey Bieber is opening up again about her reproductive health struggles.

The model and beauty mogul, 28, revealed she’s suffering from a pair of ovarian cysts in an April 21 post on her Instagram Story. The health revelation comes eight months after Bieber welcomed her first child, a son named Jack, with her husband, pop singer Justin Bieber.

“Currently have 2 ovarian cysts 😩,” Bieber wrote alongside a photo of herself lying on the couch. “If you deal with ovarian cysts, I’m right there with ya!”

Bieber didn’t announce a formal diagnosis in the post, nor did she share additional details. USA TODAY has reached out to Bieber’s representatives for comment.

Ovarian cysts are sacs filled with fluid that attach to or inside an ovary, according to Mayo Clinic. While most cysts are harmless and can be resolved without treatment, a ruptured cyst can cause serious health concerns.

This isn’t the first time Bieber has dealt with the pain of an ovarian cyst.

‘Size of an apple’: Hailey Bieber on ‘painful and achy’ ovarian cyst

In a November 2022 post on her Instagram Story, the Rhode skincare founder told fans she had a “cyst on my ovary the size of an apple.” In contrast, an ovary is typically the “size and shape of an almond,” per Mayo Clinic.

“I don’t have endometriosis or PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) but I have gotten an ovarian cyst a few times and it’s never fun,” Bieber wrote at the time.

‘The pain was so bad’: Bebe Rexha opens up about suffering PCOS cyst

Bieber isn’t the only star who’s gotten candid about ovarian health. In May 2024, pop singer Bebe Rexha, who has polycystic ovary syndrome, revealed in a TikTok video that she had to seek medical attention for a painful cyst that had burst.

Aside from her battles with ovarian cysts, Bieber also suffered a transient ischemic attack in March 2022, which she described as a “mini stroke,” and the incident later required a follow-up procedure to close a hole in Bieber’s heart. The model called the experience “the scariest moment of my life.”
