Billy isn’t the only Baldwin member to worry fans with his comments on Justin and Hailey’s relationship. Her dad caused concern earlier in the year when he asked fans to pray for the couple when they were facing various allegations of marriage problems.

Though Stephen never addressed his comments, Hailey went on to reveal her pregnancy a few months later, which could’ve been the reason the actor requested prayer for his daughter and son-in-law. Hailey is reportedly six months along and she and Justin have been packing on the PDA recently as they await the arrival of their first born.
