But how much do you really know about the stylish star?
How did she start her journey to stardom? Who is her famous father? And is there actually any truth behind the “beef” between her and Selena?
From feuds and friendships to hobbies and career highlights, we’re bringing you 20 super fun facts about Hailey Bieber.
Let’s dive in!
20 Hailey Bieber Facts All Fans Should Know
1. Hailey’s a Goddess by Name and by Nature
Switching from ‘Baldwin’ to ‘Bieber’ after tying the knot, Hailey’s full name is Hailey Rhode Bieber. But here’s something you might not know…
Not only was she named after Halley’s Comet (y’know that big cosmic ice ball that passes earth every 76 years), but she also shares her middle name with an ancient Greek deity, Rhodos.
No wonder she gives off celestial goddess energy — Hailey was basically born to be a star!
2. Her Dad is a Hollywood Actor
As a girl who rocks a “nepo baby” t-shirt, Hailey Bieber certainly doesn’t hide the fact that she comes from a famous family. Growing up surrounded by her dad, actor Stephen Baldwin, and four famous uncles, Hailey’s no stranger to the Hollywood spotlight.
Although Hay has admitted to being close with her pops, his controversial comments have landed him in hot water in the past. In February 2024, Stephen notoriously went a step too far when he posted on Instagram saying he was praying for Justin and Hailey amidst their “alleged” marriage drama.
Apparently, Hailey wasn’t too thrilled with her dad’s comments and even went as far as unfollowing him on socials! Eek!
3. She Hails From Arizona but Has Brazilian Roots
Hailey was born in Tucson, Arizona and spent most of her younger years growing up in Nyack, New York. However, you might be surprised to hear that the star isn’t an all-American girly.
Hailey’s mother Kennya is Brazilian, and exposed young Hailey to Brazilian food and culture from an early age. Thanks to this influence, Hailey loves cooking tasty Brazilian treats at home.
Hailey’s specialty dish? “Pão de queijo,” — that’s Brazilian cheese balls to you and I!
4. She’s a Former Ballerina
What’s the secret to Hailey’s picture-perfect red carpet poses? We have a sneaking suspicion it might have something to do with her ballet training…
Before her modeling career kicked off, Hailey was dead set on becoming a ballet dancer. Training at the infamous American Ballet Theatre School in NYC, Hailey’s life was all pirouettes and pliés right up until her late teens, when she sadly injured her foot and had to give it all up.
Although Hay has put the ballet behind her, you can check out her impressive dance moves in this incredible clip:
5. Her and Bieber Go Way Back
If you need a pick-me-up, watch this adorable video of Justin meeting Hailey for the first time.
Hailey’s dad first introduced the famous couple to each other backstage at The Today Show, when Justin was performing. And, according to Justin, Hailey wasn’t the most high energy person that day.
In an interview with Demi Lovato for The Ellen Show, Justin recalled, “I’m pretty sure she didn’t wanna be there…her dad dragged her out of bed in the morning.”
Lol! Little did she know, she was meeting her future husband!
6. Her Faith is Super Important to Her
As a devout Christian, Hailey has spoken about how her faith plays a key role in her happy marriage with Justin.
Speaking with Christian comedian Yvonne Orji in 2021, Hailey said, “It’s what we believe in. If we didn’t have that, we wouldn’t even be here. We wouldn’t even be together.”
Hailey even reportedly called out Kanye West for going against his Christianity by preaching anti-Semitic ideas. Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “You cannot believe in God and be anti-Semitic. You cannot love God and support or condone hate speech.”
