HAILEY Bieber’s father, Stephen Baldwin, has shared a cryptic message about “deception” in a new video after sharing concerns about his daughter and her husband, Justin.
Earlier this week, the actor pleaded with fans to pray for Hailey, 27, and Justin, 30, although he didn’t explain what was going on.
On Thursday, Stephen, 57, shared a video on Instagram that again raised eyebrows.
He filmed himself sitting in the driver’s seat of his car, telling his followers: “All kinds of competition, war, and gamesmanship usually includes some kind of deception.
“Now, clearly, throughout our culture and society, we see deception. Now, the provocateurs of such are very nervous, only because they do not know that peace beyond our understanding,” the producer concluded.
Stephen added in his caption: “Vision calling instinct knowledge ? ‘when you cannot give, what you do not have – one must surrender. (unknown).”
Fans raced to the comments to share their thoughts, with one writing: “His daughters really need to get him off social media and help.”
Someone else commented: “Omg dude. WTF is wrong with you?”
A third asked: “You ok brother?”
And a fourth added: “Can someone translate this to me like I’m a toddler because I didn’t understand a single thing this man said.”
PUBLIC PLEA
Stephen’s post came hours after he asked fans to pray for Hailey and Justin in a cryptic post on his Stories.
The film star directly referenced the couple by name and re-shared a video of pop music icon Justin singing a hymn and added a concerning caption.
“Christians, please when you think of Justin & Hailey, take a moment to offer a little prayer for them to have wisdom, protection, and to draw close to the Lord,” he wrote.
Many fans wondered if Stephen’s post hinted at problems in Justin and Hailey’s marriage after weeks of speculation that they were headed for divorce.
“So weird her father is posting this,” one person remarked on an online thread alongside a screenshot of the video.
“I think they are soft-launching their divorce. It’s clear as day,” another predicted.
“Looks like it…” a third fan agreed.
WHY DAD?
According to TMZ, Hailey wasn’t pleased with her father for seemingly airing their troubles on social media.
A source told the outlet that Stephen’s request for prayers was related to something specific regarding his daughter and son-in-law.
The exact issue is currently unknown.
