Hailey’s father is actor Stephen Baldwin, and her uncle is Alec Baldwin, so she has been connected to Hollywood since she was born. However, Hailey did not get widespread attention until the mid-2010s when she became a high fashion model and started dating Justin.

Over the years, Hailey has been the target of hate on social media. Most notably, some fans of Selena Gomez believed Hailey was why Gomez and Justin broke up or that Justin cheated on Gomez with Hailey.

In recent years, Hailey has also dealt with health issues publicly. Earlier this year, she was hospitalized after experiencing a mini-stroke. Additionally, the 26-year-old has revealed she had an ovarian cyst.

Hailey Bieber had ‘protective’ body language during her candid ‘Call Her Daddy’ interview

In September 2022, Hailey appeared on the podcast Call Your Daddy, where she opened up about life in the spotlight. She also addressed Justin’s prior relationship with Gomez and the hate she receives on social media.

According to body language expert CC Rice, Hailey displayed “protective” body language when talking about her emotions concerning these sensitive topics. As Rice described in a TikTok video, Hailey appeared to hold these emotions in her hands.

For example, she held her hands together to self-soothe and would open them up when making a revelation. “If you watch Hailey in multiple videos, you will notice that her emotions live in her hands,” Rice shared.

The expert also praised Hailey for her self-awareness. The model sat in various “protective” positions throughout the interview, and she also noticed that about herself.

“I was uncomfortable multiple times,” Hailey said. “My feet are inside of the couch because I was like, ‘How many protective body positions did I get into?’ I folded like a pretzel.”
