Hailey Bieber, who was born Hailey Rhode Baldwin on November 22, 1996, in Tucson, Arizona, is an American model, socialite, and businesswoman who has made a name for herself in the worlds of fashion, beauty, and pop culture. Hailey is known for her poise, style, and business sense. She has gone from being a well-known model to a global influencer and brand creator. She is married to pop star Justin Bieber and has become a well-known figure in the entertainment industry, balancing her work with her high-profile personal life.
Early Life and History
Hailey came from the famous Baldwin family, which had strong ties to Hollywood. Stephen Baldwin, the youngest of the Baldwin brothers, is her father. Kennya Deodato Baldwin, her mother, is a graphic designer who is of Brazilian descent. Hailey grew up in Nyack, New York, where her uncle Alec Baldwin was a famous actor. She was exposed to the entertainment industry from a young age. Hailey’s family was famous, but she grew up in a pretty normal way, with a focus on family values and her love of dance, especially ballet, which she took very seriously until she hurt her foot and had to change her plans.
Hailey went to school in New York and was homeschooled for part of her education, which gave her the freedom to follow her interests. Her family connections and appearances at red-carpet events gave her early exposure to the spotlight, but she was determined to make her own way.
Career as a model
Hailey started modeling when she was a teenager and signed with Ford Models, one of the most well-known agencies in the business. In 2014, she got her first big job with the British store Topshop. After that, she worked on campaigns for brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren. Her youthful beauty and confident presence on the runway made her a popular model right away. She walked for big names in fashion like Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, and Moschino, which made her a big name in the industry.
She became famous when she was on the covers of big fashion magazines like Teen Vogue and Vogue Japan. Brands that wanted to reach younger audiences loved Hailey because she could mix high fashion with commercial appeal. She has also modeled for Levi’s, Adidas, and Guess, which shows how flexible she is in different markets.
Hailey has been a big name in the influencer space, using her huge social media following—over 50 million on Instagram as of 2025—to work with brands and set trends. Her style, which is often called “effortlessly chic,” has made her a fashion icon for both Gen Z and millennials.
Rhode Beauty: An Entrepreneurial Venture
Hailey started her skincare line, Rhode, in 2022, and it quickly became a hit in the beauty world. Rhode is named after her middle name and sells simple, cheap skin care products that are meant to make your skin healthy and glowing. People liked the brand’s first line, which included a Peptide Glazing Fluid, Barrier Restore Cream, and Lip Treatment, because of how well the products worked and how nice the packaging was. People liked that Rhode’s products were clean, vegan, and not tested on animals, and the brand sold out several times soon after it came out.
Hailey’s hands-on approach to Rhode’s growth, from making the products to marketing them, showed that she was an entrepreneur. Her real connection with her fans and her knowledge of the modern beauty consumer are what made the brand successful. People have compared Rhode to other celebrity-led brands like Fenty Beauty and Rare Beauty, but Hailey has found a unique place in the market by focusing on simplicity and accessibility.
Life at home and in public
People have always been very interested in Hailey’s personal life, especially since her relationship with Justin Bieber became news. In 2009, Hailey’s father introduced the couple on the Today Show. Their relationship went back and forth until they got engaged in a whirlwind in 2018 and got married in a small courthouse ceremony in New York City. In 2019, they had a bigger ceremony in South Carolina. Hailey and Justin had their first child, a son named Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024. This made their bond even stronger.
Hailey has talked openly about her mental health issues, like anxiety, and her experiences with online trolling, even though being famous can be hard. She has used her fame to raise awareness about mental health issues and has been honest about how hard it is to be in a high-profile marriage. Fans love her because she is open and honest and has shown that she can handle anything.
Hailey is also known for being close friends with other famous people, like Kendall and Kylie Jenner, with whom she has worked on a number of projects. Her “model squad,” which includes Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid, is a group of friends that makes her even more powerful in the fashion and entertainment industries.
Giving and Speaking Up
Hailey does more than just work; she also gives back to the community. She has helped groups that work to improve mental health, women’s rights, and the welfare of children. She and Justin gave money to help with the COVID-19 pandemic, and she has used her platform to talk about social justice issues. Her work as an advocate, which isn’t as well-known as her career, shows how much she wants to make a difference.
Cultural Effects and Legacy
Hailey Bieber is a new type of celebrity who has many skills, including acting, business, and social media. Young women look up to her because she can handle the worlds of fashion, beauty, and media while still being down-to-earth. Rhode’s success has made her a major player in the beauty business, and her changing career shows that she isn’t done making her mark.
Hailey is still able to handle being a mother, being married, and running her own business with grace as of 2025. Hailey Bieber is still a cultural force, changing what it means to be a modern icon. She does this by walking the runway, promoting Rhode, and posting pictures of her life on social media.
