So In Love
As for Hailey, she has been sharing tributes year after year for her beau on his birthday. Last year, she shared another set of snaps and added a note:
"Another year around the sun with you, another year of getting to love you, grow with you and laugh with you. Happy 27th birthday, you are my favorite human and I’m grateful to be by your side❤️"
How It All Started
In March 2021, Hailey opened up about how her relationship with Justin came to be during a cover story for Elle.
"We were friends first for a really long time before there was anything romantic," she said. "But we always knew that we were aligned on what we wanted in our future. We had talked about wanting to be married young and having a family young and building a life. Even before we knew we wanted to be with each other."
Marriage Struggles
While she married the love of her life, Hailey admitted things were difficult during their first year of marriage mainly because of his celebrity status.
"In the beginning of our marriage, I just wanted to hide. I was like, ‘I don’t want people so in my business. I feel like everybody’s up my a--.’ I was like, ‘Can there be no anonymity? Can I have any of it back?'" she recalled.
In November, Hailey talked about Justin's struggles with his mental health and how it affected their marriage.
"I remember I called [my mom, Kennya Baldwin] a few different times, one particular time [when] we were in Brooklyn and I was calling her, I was crying, and I was like, ‘I just can’t do it. There’s no way that I’m going to be able to do this if it’s going to be like this forever,'" she said on the "In Good Faith with Chelsea & Judah Smith" podcast.
“And I just remember she was so calm on the phone and she was like, ‘It’s going to pass, and you’re going to be fine and he’s going to be healthy and we’re here for you,'" she continued.
"And I do feel like we had a lot of support. I feel like if I didn’t have support, it would’ve been 10 times harder, and it was already the hardest thing in my life at the time so I also just think I was in it. I made a decision. I know for a fact that I’ve loved this person for a very long time and now would not be the time to give up on him. I just wouldn’t do that to him," Hailey added.
