Personal Life and Beliefs
Hailey Baldwin was raised in an evangelical Christian environment and often shares Bible quotes on her social media platforms. She stated, "I was brought up in church traditions. I grew up in that environment, and I think it's really important for all of us to have that spiritual foundation and have a relationship with God."
She further added, "Not everyone will believe in the God that I believe in, but that's what I'm not afraid to share with people, because I realize how inspiring it is to me, how positively it's influenced my life... I think that God has put me in this place in life where I can't be silent about it, where I can't not talk about Him, but reach people's hearts and inspire them."
Addressing Plastic Surgery Rumors
In December 2016, Hailey decided to speak out after rumors spread that she had undergone plastic surgery for aesthetic purposes. She told the Evening Standard, "Everyone thinks that I've had plastic surgery. My mom's side of the family calls her and asks, 'Did Hailey get her lips done? Did she get a nose job?'"
She continued, "So what, go to a doctor and get my face examined and have them tell everyone I didn't do anything? My face changes. It's called puberty. I had a completely different face when I was younger, and I've grown into my looks. I have the same face."
