Aristocrat and daughter of a Brazilian: who is Hailey Bieber, 27, Justin Bieber’s wife

Born in Tucson, Arizona, with a big surname, Hailey Bieber grew up in a world surrounded by artists and socialites. The 27-year-old model is part of the Baldwin family, considered a clan in the artistic world. Her father is actor Stephen Baldwin, the youngest of the brothers Alec, Daniel and Billy Baldwin, all actors.

The Baldwins descend from the first line of American aristocracy. His ancestors were among the British pioneers in colonizing the lands that today form the United States.

Hailey’s mother is Brazilian designer Kennya Deodato Baldwin, who is descended from Rio’s high society. Kennya is the daughter of pianist and composer Eumir Deodato, one of the exponents of Bossa Nova. Based in the United States since the 1960s, he has partnered with Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, Tom Jobim and, more recently, Björk.

Hailey’s maternal grandmother is Rute Almeida, from Minas Gerais, who the young woman affectionately calls Nana. She lives in the USA and appears a lot on her granddaughter’s social media. A few days ago, a video went viral in which the model appears with her niece on her lap, singing (with a perfect Brazilian accent) “Boi da cara preta”, a classic popular lullaby for children and with which Dorival Caymmi used to play her daughter, Nana. Caymmi, to sleep. “My grandmother used to sing to me,” she wrote in the caption.

School dropout

Despite her family’s rich sociocultural and economic background (or perhaps because of it), Hailey did not finish high school. She barely attended school, having studied most of her life in homeschool, a common and legal practice in the USA. At 18, however, she abandoned her studies at home and never finished high school. She has stated in interviews that she “hated” studying.

As a teenager, she was focused on classical ballet, which she practiced every day and intended to pursue as a profession. An injury, however, made her give up on her dream and she decided to invest in a modeling career.

Early marriage

At 21, Hailey married Justin Bieber, who was 23 at the time. The two met as teenagers and had an on-and-off relationship. The singer went on to have two relationships with the same person, Selena Gomez, before getting back together with Hailey and marrying her.

At the time, Hailey stated that, despite her young age, she had already “lived everything she had to live” and therefore felt ready to have a married life.

Hailey has been married to Justin since 2018, and confessed in a recent interview that they really want to have children. But the model admitted that just thinking about the harassment they will suffer makes her panic about having a family in the public eye. Hailey said she’s worried about everything they might face because of the negative comments she and the singer constantly receive online.

The fact is that fans’ obsession with seeing an heir in the family has made the model anxious.

Asked by the Sunday Times’ “Style” magazine, Hailey opened up: “I literally cry about it all the time. I really want to have kids, but I’m scared. All it takes is for people to say things about my husband or my friends. friends. I can’t imagine having to confront people saying things about a child,” he commented.

She said: “[A maternidade] It’s something I look forward to. It’s also such a private and intimate thing. It will come when it has to. Let me do whatever I want with my body and you can do whatever you want with your bodies.”
