Hailey Bieber reflects on family dynamics amid Baldwin’s cryptic post
Baldwin’s congratulatory message followed an interview in which Hailey reflected on the evolving dynamics with her family since her marriage to Justin six years ago.
The 27-year-old model said: "I had a fairly normal childhood. Obviously, I come from the family that I come from, and I always recognized that that was different. I'm not super close with my family at this point in my life because I feel like I'm very independent. I'm my own individual now, and I've built my own family. But when I look back on my childhood and how I grew up, I have very fond, beautiful memories."
Her statement came amid tension and speculation sparked by Baldwin’s cryptic Instagram post calling for prayers for the couple, which led to swirling rumors about their marriage. As RadarOnline.com reported, Baldwin's vague plea triggered widespread speculation about the state of Hailey and Justin’s relationship.
Hailey Bieber addresses marriage rumors
In response to the gossip, Hailey addressed the rumors in a cover issue, stating: "People have made me feel so bad about my relationship since day one. 'Oh, they're falling apart. They hate each other. They're getting divorced.' It's like people don't want to believe that we're happy. I used to try to act like it hurts less and less. I've tried to think that you get used to it at a certain point, that this is what's going to be said and this is how people are going to be. But I realize that it doesn't actually ever hurt any less."
Hailey further clarified the situation on Instagram, dismissing the speculation with a direct message.
She wrote, "Just FYI the stories and constant 'blind items I see on TikTok are 100% of the time wrong. Made out of thin air… come from the land of delusion. So I know it may be fun feeding into these stories but just know they're always false xx sorry to spoil it."
