Stephen Baldwin, father to model Hailey Bieber, has made a heartfelt request for prayers for his daughter and her pop star husband, Justin Bieber. The celebrity couple, known for their candidness about their Christian faith and personal struggles, face an undisclosed issue that has sparked widespread concern and media speculation.
Baldwin’s plea came through an Instagram story, now expired, where he shared a post by All Things Possible Ministry founder Victor Marx. The post called for prayers for Justin and Hailey “to have wisdom, protection and to draw close to the Lord.” The move by Baldwin underlines the high-profile duo’s challenges and the “spiritual warfare” he believes they face due to their visibility and faith.
Justin Bieber has previously been open with fans about his health struggles. In 2022, the singer canceled his Justice World Tour after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which caused facial paralysis. He took to social media, stating, “As the result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North America leg of the Justice Tour,” he posted to Instagram Stories at the time. “I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now. So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being. I’m going to be ok, but I need time to rest and get better,”and thanked fans for their prayers and support.
In the same year, Hailey also confronted health concerns when she suffered a brain blood clot, reassuring followers via Instagram that she was recovering and expressing gratitude to her medical team and well-wishers.”Although this was definitely one of the scariest moments I’ve ever been through, I’m home now and doing well,” she shared on her Instagram Story at the time, “and I’m so grateful and thankful to all the amazing doctors and nurses who took care of me! Thank you to everyone who has reached out with well wishes and concern, and for all the support and love.”
Despite these setbacks, the couple’s faith has been a cornerstone of their relationship and public image. In an Elle magazine interview, Hailey highlighted their shared spirituality: “Being able to share that with each other—to have that bond of faith and spirituality—is so [critical] for us. It’s the most important part of our relationship, following Jesus together, being a part of the church community together. It’s everything.”
As for Baldwin’s call for prayer, Hailey has indirectly addressed the subsequent buzz by debunking rumors circulating on social media platforms like TikTok. “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…” Hailey posted, urging fans not to feed into false narratives.
Amidst the public’s gaze and the private trials the couple faces, the support from their community and each other remains evident. Hailey, marking Justin’s 30th birthday on Instagram, shared a heartfelt tribute: “30!!!!!!!????!!????!!!!🥹😭 that was fast. words could never truly describe the beauty of who you are. Happy Birthday to you… love of my life, for life 🤍.”
