Bieber and Baldwin plan wedding event
The couple plans to hold a wedding celebration, possibly in Canada
Actor William Baldwin has confirmed rumours that his niece, Hailey Baldwin, and Canadian pop star Justin Bieber are planning a wedding celebration for their recent nuptials.
“They’re already married, but they’re having a little gathering,” Baldwin said Friday in an interview for his upcoming Ontario-shot family drama series
Northern Rescue, which will launch March 1 on the CBC Gem streaming service. Asked if the gathering will be in Canada, he teased: “Possibly.”
The 24-year-old Bieber and 22-year-old Baldwin, who is a model, got engaged last summer in the Bahamas. Reports swirled in subsequent months that they had already wed in a courthouse ceremony and, in November, they appeared to confirm the rumours via Instagram.
Bieber, who hails from Stratford, Ont., posted a photo of the two of them with the caption: “My wife is awesome.” Meanwhile Baldwin changed her In- stagram username to “Hailey Bieber.” Various publications are reporting a wedding celebration will take place either Feb. 28 or on March 1, which is Bieber’s birthday.
“Stephen became friends with Justin’s mom and dad, and they’ve gone to church together, they’ve gone bowling together. They’ve done all sorts of fun stuff together for years and then romantic-like candles started flickering a while ago,” said William Baldwin, who is the brother of Hailey’s dad, Stephen.
“They’ve been on-and-off dating probably for several years. They’re cute and they’re really an adorable couple together, madly in love.”
Baldwin — whose other credits include the films Flatliners, Backdraft and The Squid and the Whale — has been married to singer Chynna Phillips, of the pop group Wilson Phillips, for more than two decades.
He said he’s offered Hailey advice on “what it’s like to navi- gate the waters of being in a show-business relationship and making it last.”
“I told Hailey, ‘Look, I’m 28 years (into a relationship) and still going strong, and if you ever want to talk, my wife is a recording artist, she’s sold millions and millions of records and she has four or five or six Grammy nominations and No. 1 singles,’” Baldwin said.
