Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber have been the focus of attention since their marriage in 2018. Although many people initially did not have high hopes for their marriage, they have already gone through six years and welcomed their first son in August this year, Jack Blues Bieber。
However, with the birth of Jack, it also revealed the complex relationship between Hailey and her parents, especially her reluctance for her son to come into contact with them, and the reasons behind it are poignant.
Family background: disharmonious family relationships
Hailey Bieber, as a second-generation star, grew up under the spotlight from a young age. Her father is renowned actor Stephen Baldwin and her mother is Kenny Baldwin. On the surface, they seem to have a harmonious and beautiful family life, but according to reports, this is only a superficial image. In fact, Hailey felt like she couldn’t fit in at home from a young age, especially since her parents seemed to favor her sister Alaia Baldwin. This feeling often makes Hailey feel like an extra person at home, unable to receive the attention and support she deserves.
She revealed that during her pregnancy, she did not immediately tell her parents about this news, and even shared it with them several months later, which shows her estrangement from her family. In addition, when her father posted on social media to celebrate the birth of her grandson, Hailey did not interact, and her mother remained completely silent, further fueling speculation about their relationship.
Political differences and religious stances
Hailey Bieber’s estrangement from her parents is partly due to their vastly different political beliefs and religious stances. Her parents, especially Stephen Baldwin, are loyal supporters of Donald Trump, openly standing up for him, and they are both devout Christians. However, Hailey herself holds a different political stance. She has publicly supported Kamala Harris and stated that her father’s political orientation is a “big issue” for her.
This divergence in political beliefs has caused Hailey to gradually distance herself from her family, and even to some extent hindered the development of their relationship.
The second generation of stars who long for independence
Although Hailey was born into the Baldwin family, she has always been dissatisfied with the pressure brought by this family identity. After marrying Justin Bieber, she immediately changed her surname to Bieber, indicating her determination to break free from the family name.
Hailey stated in a magazine interview that she started her modeling career at the age of 17, is financially independent, and her wealth and house are earned through her own efforts. She desires to have her own life, rather than being bound by family and clan names.
Hailey Bieber dislikes interference from her parents, especially when her father publicly prayed for her and Justin Bieber on social media, which made her unhappy and became the trigger for her decision not to let her son have contact with her parents.
Understanding and Support from Husband Justin Bieber
Hailey’s relationship with her parents is tense, and her husband Justin Bieber has also experienced similar family conflicts, which makes him very understanding of Hailey’s feelings. Justin’s own relationship with his family is not very harmonious, so he strongly supports his wife’s decision to prevent his son Jack from coming into contact with Hailey’s original family.
The couple reached a consensus on how to raise their son Jack and decided to rely on their own strength rather than relying on the help of family or elders. Although grandparents’ love is often precious to children, every family has its unique challenges and issues.
The relationship between Hailey Bieber and her parents reflects common intergenerational conflicts, differences in values, and a desire for independence in many families. Although her relationship with her parents was not close, Hailey and Justin decided to raise their son Jack in their own way. As seen from the outside world, Hailey yearns for independence in both emotions and life, and Justin’s understanding and support also keep them in agreement on this decision. Every family has its own challenges, and Hailey and Justin are also making what they believe is the best choice for their small family.
