It was their baby name choice that made the most news however, with fans quick to spot a very special meaning behind the moniker.
The name 'Jack Blues' appears to honour a long-standing tradition in the Bieber family, with family members carrying the initials 'JB'.
This custom reportedly goes back generations, including Justin, his father Jeremy Bieber, and his half siblings, Jazmyn and Jaxon Bieber.
