In 2022, Stephen Baldwin’s daughter Hailey Bieber had to be hospitalized after a blood clot in her brain caused the model to suffer a mini-stroke. “Definitely the scariest moment of my life,” she later confessed in an Instagram video. Her father was also understandably worried for Hailey as she recovered from her health scare. “Been on my knees before my God as much as possible […] every day,” Baldwin wrote on Instagram. He thanked his followers for praying for Hailey and asked them to keep Justin Bieber in their thoughts as well (the singer was diagnosed with COVID one month earlier, which forced him to reschedule some tour dates).
Baldwin sent out another prayer request in 2024 amid rumors that Hailey and Justin were headed for divorce. On his Instagram Story, the actor shared a post by minister Victor Marx: “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,” (via Page Six). TMZ warned that the actor risked putting a strain on his relationship with Hailey when he re-posted the cryptic message, which further fanned the flames of speculation about her marriage.
Insiders informed the outlet that Hailey was upset with her dad because she and Justin were dealing with an undisclosed problem, and they didn’t want the public to know about it.
