LOS ANGELES,CALIFORNIA: Hailey Bieber, wife of pop sensation Justin Bieber, is reportedly unhappy with her father Stephen Baldwin, after he publicly asked for prayers for the couple.

TMZ sources said Stephen's plea for guidance and well-wishes for his daughter and son-in-law didn't just happen - it was related to something specific the young couple is going through.

The matter at hand is reportedly private and personal, with Hailey and Justin handling it behind closed doors. While the nature of the issue remains unknown, Stephen felt compelled to seek support and well-wishes from the public through prayers.

While Stephen's intentions may have been well-meaning, Hailey is said to be displeased with her father drawing attention to their private affairs. This discontent stems from Hailey's desire to keep their personal lives out of the public eye.

The tension surrounding the situation was palpable as Hailey and Justin were spotted leaving church in Los Angeles, appearing pensive amidst the paparazzi's presence. Although some observers initially dismissed their demeanor, it now seems apparent that there was indeed something weighing on their minds.

This all started when Baldwin reposted an Instagram reel of Justin, 29, singing "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever" by Hillsong Worship and Delirious?.

The caption of the original post by influencer Victor Marx, which has now been taken down, read, “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.” 

Baldwin also mentioned that Hailey's mother frequently prays for the couple's well-being.

However, Baldwin's gesture has undoubtedly brought unwelcome attention to their private matters, leaving the couple grappling with unwanted scrutiny from the public eye.

In 2022, Bieber's Justice World Tour was abruptly halted due to his diagnosis with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a condition affecting the nerves in his ear and face, causing paralysis. In an Instagram post, Bieber candidly addressed his health concerns, emphasizing the need to prioritize recovery over his touring commitments. Despite the disappointment of canceling shows, Bieber expressed gratitude for the support of his fans and vowed to focus on healing.
