The Baldwin family has always been, er, colourful – and their newest addition promises to be just as interestin­g!

Canadian pop star

Justin Bieber (24) is joining the clan, having proposed to girlfriend Hailey Baldwin (21) – daughter of Stephen, niece of Alec (60) – last week in the Bahamas.

The young couple, who first met in 2009 when introduced by Stephen (52), announced their news on social media, with an excited Stephen, who starred in The Usual Suspects and beside pal US president Donald Trump in The Celebrity Apprentice, quickly giving his public blessing.

The actor, who became a born-again Christian in 2001 following his well-publicised battles with drugs and alcohol, posted an emphatic message on Twitter congratula­ting the pair. “Sweet smile on my face! Me & wife [Kennya] always pray for God’s will!! He is moving in the hearts of JB&HB… Let’s all pray for his will to be done.”

Stephen, who got into a spot of bother in 2012 when he failed to pay his taxes, is feuding with brother Alec, whom he hasn’t spoken to since the 2016 US election. The two took different sides during the political maelstrom, with Stephen endorsing the president, while Alec ridiculed Trump on Saturday Night Live.

Maybe Justin could smooth things over? Never Say Never!
