Hailey Baldwin was born on November 22, 1996, in Tucson, Arizona. Although she is best known as the wife of pop star Justin Bieber, Hailey is the daughter of one of those Baldwins – the four acting brothers who managed to become Hollywood royalty together. Her father is Stephen, while her uncles include Alec, Billy, and Daniel Baldwin. 

Born into an elite celebrity family and married to the singer whose manic fans had been compared to The Beatles’ hysteria of the 1960s, Baldwin should have been on everyone’s radar since birth… yet most do not know too much about her. So, who is Hailey Baldwin really? Here’s what we know.

Who is Hailey Baldwin?

Hailey Baldwin has not been content riding on the coattails of her famous family’s success. She has carved out her own career as a model and television personality. As for the latter, she has hosted Drop the Mic since 2017 and has made guest appearances in the film Ocean’s Eight as well as the television series Love Advent.

As a model, Baldwin has worked for numerous big name companies. Just a few of these include French Connection, Topshop, Ralph Lauren, Guess, Dolce and Gabbana, and Tommy Hilfiger. She’s appeared on a number of magazine covers, include Elle, Vogue, Harper’s BAZAAR Australia, and Love Magazine.  

Baldwin and Bieber’s whirlwind romance

Hailey Baldwin met Justin Bieber for the very first time when her father took her to a meet and greet in 2009. Bieber states he was smitten with Baldwin from day one, but the two did not keep in touch after their first meeting. It was when they crossed paths two years later that they became friends.

It took another three years for romance rumors to start flying between the two, but it wasn’t until 2016 that anything became official. Due to an issue that neither partner has ever publicly discussed, the two did not remain together long the first time around. They broke up and went on to date other people, before reuniting in 2018. That is when things suddenly went full speed ahead in the relationship timeline.

After fans find out the two are official during the summer, it did not take long before Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber got married in a very quiet courthouse ceremony in September. 

Why are fans rooting so hard for her marriage?

The big reasons that fans are rooting so hard for Hailey Baldwin’s marriage to Justin Bieber to work out indefinitely is actually pretty simple – they’re good for each other. Fans will remember what a hard time Justin Bieber had when he was a teenager. He was constantly getting in trouble and forever making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Although most had no idea why he was acting out so much at the time, people later learned that Bieber was acting out because his father was often absent from his life, and his mother suffered from severe depression. While this could take a toll on any teen, it was compounded by the fact that Justin Bieber spent most of his childhood and adolescence in the spotlight. He was only 12 when he first started his career on YouTube. 

During an interview about their marriage, Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber spoke about just how much work they’re putting into making this work. Not only did they remain celibate before their marriage, but they’re being pragmatic about the way young celebrity marriage almost never work. To this extent, they’ve been undergoing couple’s therapy so they can work out their problems as they arise.

During his healing process, Baldwin has stayed by her husband’s side. The two are almost always photographed together, and have revealed they are always open with one another. They do not hide their insecurities, but talk to one another about them so they can move forward stronger as both individuals and a couple.Â
