Quick View
Hailey Bieber, born Hailey Rhode Baldwin, is a well-known American model, entrepreneur, and social media personality. She rose to fame not only through her successful career in fashion and beauty but also due to her high-profile marriage to pop sensation Justin Bieber.
Before becoming one of the most recognizable faces in the world, Hailey was already part of a prominent family in Hollywood — the Baldwins. She is the youngest daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and the niece of renowned actor Alec Baldwin.
Growing up in the public eye, Hailey’s life was always intertwined with the entertainment industry. Her journey from a young aspiring model to a household name has been closely followed by fans and media alike, but it hasn’t been without its challenges. While her career has blossomed, her relationship with her family, particularly her father, Stephen Baldwin, has often made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Hailey Bieber’s relation to the Baldwin family
Hailey Bieber is part of the famous Baldwin family, which has made a significant mark in Hollywood. The Baldwin family is best known for their acting legacy, with Alec Baldwin being one of the most successful and recognizable actors of his generation. Alec’s career has spanned decades, with notable roles in 30 Rock, The Departed, and Beetlejuice.
Hailey is the daughter of Stephen Baldwin, Alec’s younger brother, and the youngest of the Baldwin siblings. Stephen, like his brother, made his name in Hollywood, starring in films like The Usual Suspects and The Flyboys. Despite their Hollywood success, the Baldwin family has often been in the public eye for their personal lives and public statements.
Hailey’s upbringing within this star-studded family has shaped her public persona, but she has always sought to establish her own identity beyond her relatives’ fame. This desire for independence is part of what has made her such a compelling figure in modern pop culture, making her an inspiration to young girls and women.
The Stephen Baldwin drama
One of the more significant aspects of Hailey Bieber’s life in the public eye has been her complicated relationship with her father, Stephen Baldwin. In 2024, drama erupted when Stephen posted an Instagram video of Justin Bieber singing a Christian song, urging his followers to pray for Hailey and Justin. The post sparked rumors about the couple’s marriage, which, at the time, was facing public speculation about a possible split.
Stephen Baldwin’s post, which included a video shared by religious figure Victor Marx, included the text, “Christians, please when you think of Justin & Hailey, take a moment to offer a little prayer for them.” This post was seen as controversial, with many interpreting it as a hint that the couple’s relationship was in trouble.
Reports from In Touch indicated that Hailey was upset with her father’s public remarks. An insider revealed that, “Hailey confronted her father, warning him to refrain from further comments if he wishes to maintain a role in her and Justin’s lives.” This marked a turning point in their relationship, as Hailey sought to protect her privacy and her marriage from public speculation.
The drama did not end there. In 2025, the Boyfriend artist unfollowed his father-in-law on Instagram in January. Bieber also unfollowed his former mentor, Usher, his former managers, Scooter Braun and Allison Kaye, and his former bodyguard, Kenny Hamilton.
That same day, as news of the social media unfollowing made headlines, Stephen posted a cryptic message on his Instagram Stories. “Let us beware of making snap decisions when we’re not on our game, when life has turned against us, when we’re disheartened and discouraged,” leaving more questions in its wake.
The path forward for the Baldwin family
Hailey Bieber’s life is a mix of high-profile moments, family drama, and the constant push to define herself outside of her famous relatives. Her ties to the Baldwin family, particularly through her father, Stephen Baldwin, and her famous uncle, Alec Baldwin, have made her a fixture in Hollywood.
However, it is clear that Hailey is determined to build her own legacy. Whether it’s her marriage to Justin Bieber, her beauty brand, or the ongoing family tensions, Hailey’s life continues to captivate the public eye — but it’s also her journey toward independence and self-discovery that sets her apart from her peers.
The Rhode beauty founder has called her family ties complicated and even admitted that she wasn’t close to them weeks before giving birth to her first baby, who came into this world in August 2024.
“I’m not super close with my family at this point in my life because I feel like I’m very independent,“ she told W Magazine in an article published on July 23, 2024. “I’m my own individual now, and I’ve built my own family.“
“I had a fairly normal childhood. Obviously, I come from the family that I come from, and I always recognized that that was different,” the California native continued. “But when I look back on my childhood and how I grew up, I have very fond, beautiful memories.“
In the end, the memories are what we all remember.
