Although Hailey Baldwin has been making headlines for quite some time now, it’s possible you didn’t recognize her name before she became romantically linked to Justin Bieber in 2015. But we’re sure that now you know exactly who she is since she’s freakin’ engaged to Justin! Yep, we’re totally freaking out, as is the whole Internet. The romance happened so, so fast but so, so flawlessly. And, TBH, the two of them look so good together, whether it’s them kissing on the beach or stranded on the road after their car breaks down (yes, that really did happen!).
But past her high-profile modeling career, who really is Hailey? What do we know about the soon-to-be (well, maybe) bride? Thankfully, because of her super-famous family, we know a ton of facts about this stunning starlet. And yeah, they’re about to leave you half shook-half very happy for Justin. Here are eight fast facts about Hailey that you probably didn’t know:
Her father is actor Stephen Baldwin.
You probably originally heard of Hailey because of her super-famous family. Her father is famous actor Stephen Baldwin and her uncle is the even-more-famous Alec Baldwin. That also makes Billy Baldwin, who played Blake Lively‘s father on Gossip Girl, her other uncle! Imagine having the Baldwin brothers as the strong men in your life. TBH, if we were Justin, we’d be super nervous to fill those shoes in Hailey’s life.
She’s a mix of many nationalities.
You may be wondering what Hailey’s family background is, since it’s hard to pinpoint where she gets her killer looks from. SPOILER ALERT: She’s a mix of a ton of different nationalities! Between her mom and her dad, her heritage is comprised of Italian, Portuguese, English, Irish, Scottish, French and German blood.
She originally wanted to be a ballet dancer.
It’s hard to imagine Hailey not being an amazing model, but growing up, she actually had her eyes set on a different career path. She originally wanted to be a ballet dancer and took dance for many years! Unfortunately, she got injured and had to stop dancing, which altered her career goals. At least we can still watch videos of her dancing as a kid!
She went to the same middle school as the Jonas Brothers.
A few years later, Hailey entered middle school — and her particular middle school had some pretty famous alums. Who are we talking about? The Jonas Brothers, obviously! Hailey went to the same middle school as the bros, so it’s really no surprise that she’s a fan of their music. Catch her dishing some tea about them in the video above!
…but then she was homeschooled.
After middle school, things changed. When she became a teenager, she was taken out of school and her mother began homeschooling her. It makes a ton of sense, especially since her career began to really take off during this time.
She’s an Evangelical Christian.
Hailey is also very in touch with her religious beliefs. Like her family, she is an Evangelic Christian and shares similar beliefs with Justin, which was super clear from his Instagram post announcing their engagement. Check out the caption to learn a bit more!
She’s close friends with the Kardashians.
It’s really no surprise that Hailey has some famous friends. Among them are the Kardashians! Hailey is super close with the clan, particularly with Kendall Jenner. It makes sense, especially since they’re both top models. But we wonder how awkward it must be, considering Kendall was once linked to Justin, too. (They have an affinity for dating the same guys.)
She’s a huge fan of Leonardo DiCaprio.
Hailey has a ton of inspirations. Among them is actor Leonardo DiCaprio! She’s loved his work over the years. In fact, Leonardo was spotted with model Camila Morrone, who’s close friends with Hailey. Could Hailey have set them up?!
