Why Hailey and Justin Bieber are keeping a distance between son Jack and her parents Stephen and Kennya Baldwin

New mom Hailey Bieber is choosing to keep her parents away from her son Jack amid her ongoing tensions with the couple, according to sources who say she has long clashed with Stephen and Kennya Baldwin over religious and political beliefs.

The Rhode Beauty founder, 27, gave birth to her first child with husband Justin Bieber, 30, in August.While many new mothers would welcome their parents’ help during this time, Hailey is determined to keep her distance.

Although her father, 58, celebrated the birth of his grandson with a post on Instagram, which Hailey disliked from her own account, the model’s mother raised eyebrows after choosing not to share the moment on her own social media feed to highlight.

It highlights Hailey’s strained relationship with her parents, which reportedly began to ‘fracture’ further when the beauty mogul became pregnant.

“Hailey’s relationship with her family has been eroding for some time,” a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘She had a closer relationship with her mother, but that started to diminish when she became pregnant because she didn’t want to tell her family for months.’

The insider explained that the situation that finally pushed Hailey over the edge was when her father shared a post asking fans to pray for Hailey and Justin, something that raised concerns for the couple.

The Usual Suspects alum posted again video of Justin singing, shared by Victor Marx, the founder of All Things Possible Ministries, captioned: ‘Christians, please, as you think of Justin & Hailey, take a moment to say a little prayer for them to have wisdom and protection and to become closer to the world. Gentleman.’

“Hailey had a falling out with her family when her father asked for prayers for Hailey and Justin, and she told him she didn’t want him interfering in her life,” the source said.

Stephen told Hailey that she wouldn’t even know Justin if he hadn’t proposed. Hailey wasn’t happy about this at all.’

Hailey met the Canadian crooner while backstage at NBC’s TODAY in 2009.

“Nice to meet you,” were the first words Hailey ever said to Justin.

The pair eventually started dating in 2015, and rekindled their on-off romance in 2018 – three months after his split from Selena Gomez.

The source claimed that Hailey’s tensions with her family fueled her desire to drop “Baldwin” and become Mrs. Bieber in 2018.

“Hailey hasn’t wanted to be associated with the Baldwin name for years and was more than happy to change her last name to Bieber once she and Justin got married,” the insider shared.

Hailey recently admitted that she isn’t as close to her family as she used to be.

“I don’t have a very close relationship with my family at this point in my life,” she said W magazine in her cover story for the special summer issue. ‘Because I feel like I’m very independent.

‘I am my own individual now and I have built my own family. But when I look back on my youth and how I grew up, I have very nice, beautiful memories.’

She said the distance stemmed from leaving home as a teenager to pursue her modeling career, which forced her to grow up faster.

She signed with Ford Models at age 17 and moved to New York City.

‘I started traveling the world and earning my own money. “I got my own apartment and had to learn to live on my own,” she said. “That made me grow up quickly.”

Hailey had maintained a relationship with her mother over the years, but tension reportedly arose because she felt like the “black sheep” of the family compared to her older sister Alaia, who is now 31.

“Hailey doesn’t really go to her mom’s or her sister’s,” the source said. ‘She feels that her mother has always favored Alaia over her and that she is seen as the black sheep.

“It’s almost like her mom, dad and sister are on one team and she thinks they’re against her, so she now chooses not to participate.”

Another major reason for her deteriorating family dynamics has a lot to do with differing opinions on politics and religious issues.

“Her parents are still married and share the same brain,” the insider noted. “Her father is a religious fanatic, and her mother does what her father says.”

Stephen became a born-again Christian after the September 11 attacks and was an outspoken supporter of twice-impeached, four-times indicted ex-POTUS Donald Trump, even endorsing him in 2016.

This after the 78-year-old reality star-turned-politician fired Baldwin twice from NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice; first in 2008 and again in 2013.

In 2017, Hailey, who recently threw her support behind Kamala Harris, admitted that her father’s political leanings had been a “major problem.” She claimed that ‘his opinion was’ [since] changed’, but did not elaborate further.

Stephen and Kennya are seasoned evangelicals who are very open about their beliefs online.

Since 2001, Stephen has established three ministries and conducted a series of tours under the name Assault Tours.

He even produced a documentary DVD called Livin It, which featured numerous skateboarders discussing their relationship with God.

The DVD was something Stephen was going to share with Justin the day Hailey met her future husband.

While Justin and Hailey are also open about their Christian beliefs, the couple has chosen to worship as part of the controversial Churchome organization, of which Judah Smith is the lead pastor.

Employee Rachel Kellogg filed a lawsuit in May of this year alleging that Churchome and its leaders “engaged in a systemic scheme of wage and hour abuse against their employees,” according to The Seattle Times.

In previous years, the couple was associated with the equally controversial Hillsong Church Justin had a falling out with his former ‘spiritual advisor’, the pastor Carl Lentzwho was subsequently fired in late 2020 due to what Brian Houston, the church’s Global Senior Pastor, described as “leadership problems and breaches of trustplus a recent revelation of moral failures,” which Lentz clarified was an extramarital affair.

Hailey’s family tensions have also affected Justin’s relationship with the Baldwins.

“Justin isn’t getting along with her family and now that they have the baby, things are even more tense,” the insider noted. “He sees her family the way he sees his family: dysfunctional and not looking out for their best interests.”

They try to keep Jack away from their families as much as possible and want to be their own separate family.’

But their determination to deal with this new chapter alone has proven difficult for the couple, especially as Justin has to juggle fatherhood with questions about his relationship with Diddy following the rapper’s arrest.

“They claim they don’t need anyone, and Hailey has done a good job of convincing Justin that she’s the only one he needs,” the source said.

‘Since the baby was born, their marriage has taken a hit because it’s stressful and neither of them really have anyone to turn to for advice.’

To date, Hailey’s parents have not shared any photos of themselves with their newborn grandson.

However, Stephen said in an interview last month that baby Jack is “incredibly cute.”

Speaking to People, he claimed he was enjoying his grandfather’s duties and hanging out with “my four-year-old granddaughter Iris” – referring to Alaia’s daughter.

He then added, “I’m in town celebrating her fourth birthday… And of course here comes Jack Blues Bieber.

“And yeah, he’s just…I don’t want to say too much. He’s incredibly cute.’
