Why Hailey Baldwin Initially Hesitated to Take Justin Bieber's Last Name

Feb 17 2019 - 11:45am

Hailey Baldwin may have officially taken husband Justin Bieber's last name [1], but it wasn't an easy thing for her to do [2]. "It took some getting used to, for sure," Hailey recently told Bustle. "It's definitely strange, it takes adjusting." The 22-year-old model initially hesitated to drop her famous last name because of its connection to her family. Hailey's dad is actor Stephen Baldwin [3], the youngest of the four Baldwin brothers following Alec, Daniel, and William. "I'm very proud of my family name," Hailey explained. "I come from a great family with a history in this industry. I remember when I was going to change it, I asked my dad if he was going to be upset and he was like, 'No! I don't care. We love you. All good. Everyone still knows you're a Baldwin.'"

Hailey and Justin secretly tied the knot [4] in an NYC courthouse this past September. "I prayed to feel peace about the decision, and that's where I landed," Hailey recently told Vogue about her decision to marry Justin [5]. "I love him very much. I have loved him for a long time." Of course, she's not the only celebrity newlywed to change her last name — Priyanka Chopra [6] and Miley Cyrus [7] recently did it, too!
