Hailey Bieber shared insights into her health journey on a recent podcast. The 29-year-old model discussed a 2022 mini-stroke and subsequent heart surgery. She explained how these experiences heightened her awareness of well-being.
Oh, Hailey Bieber is serving real talk on her health scares, darlings! The Rhode founder, who's turning 29 like it's no big deal, spilled the tea on Jake Shane's Therapuss podcast, dropped just this Wednesday (February 18). Remember that mini-stroke back in 2022? Yeah, it shook her up big time. 'That situation made me a little bit extra hyper-aware of my body and a little bit more nervous about things and staying on top of them,' she admitted. But Hailey's always been that girl obsessed with health—fascinated by the body, medicine, and all things doctor. 'I just am so fascinated with the body and medicine and doctor,' she gushed. 'And I love it… It was also kind of what led me to want to Rhode. My obsession with skin care also comes from my obsession with medicine.'
Post-mini-stroke, docs discovered she was born with a heart defect—cue the surgery! 'Then I found that I had this heart defect that I was born with, so I had to get surgery for it, which sounds really crazy,' Hailey recalled. The procedure? Minimally invasive, going through her groin, and she was home the same day. Talk about a quick fix! And in the same chat, she gave a sweet update on her 16-month-old son Jack, revealing the one word he's totally obsessed with saying. (We're dying to know what it is—spill, Hailey!)
Hailey's story is a reminder that even icons have their vulnerabilities. So, is this hyper-awareness fueling even more Rhode magic, or just keeping her on her toes? Eyes on her next move!
