Hailey Bieber<\/a> had a big year last year \u2014 and it wasn’t without its challenges.<\/p>\n During an interview with Time<\/em><\/a> on Wednesday, May 6, Bieber spoke about welcoming her son Jack and selling her company Rhode Beauty to e.l.f. Beauty all within the same year.<\/p>\n \u201cSelling my company in the first year of also having a child, there\u2019s a lot of change happening at once,” she began. “Becoming a mom is, so far in my life, the biggest change I\u2019ve ever been through. I feel like a lot of women would probably agree that the biggest identity shift that you go through in your life is becoming a parent, becoming a mom.”<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for <\/strong>PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/strong><\/a> to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n “And to be going through that while also going through this insane business process is just\u2026it was really interesting for those two things to be going on in parallel,” she continued. “I felt really stretched in a lot of ways.”<\/p>\n Bieber went on to say that she felt like last year was a year of growth and learning for her.<\/p>\n “And when I look back on it now, being 29 turning 30 this year, I\u2019m like, wouldn\u2019t have changed a thing,” she explained. “As many ups and downs as there was, as hard as it was for me to do all these major things at one time, I really feel like it strengthened me in a lot of ways.”<\/p>\n The model and Rhode Beauty co-founder welcomed her son Jack Blues in August 2024 with husband Justin Bieber. Just a few months later, in May 2025, Hailey sold her company to e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion.<\/p>\n In November 2025, Hailey spoke with GQ<\/em><\/a> and opened up about her decision to sell her brand<\/a>.<\/p>\n “I always said that I would never sell the company unless it was a billion dollars. I was just like, it\u2019s going to be this or I am not doing it. That was my goal,” Hailey said in the GQ<\/em> interview published on Nov. 11.<\/p>\n “It was not always entirely my goal to sell the company,” she revealed of the company known for its line of curated skincare essentials that launched in 2022.<\/p>\n Hailey then shared the factors that influenced her decision to sell Rhode, including “the boxes” that needed to be checked off before moving forward with the deal.<\/p>\n “I thought if the right opportunity came along and the right home for it came along, then I would definitely consider it,” she said, adding, “And I think with e.l.f., all of the boxes that I would want to check to find a home for it, they checked them and then some.”<\/p>\n
