Why do people think Hailey Bieber is not close to her family?

Netizens speculated that Hailey Bieber has been distant from her family because of certain comments she made during an interview with W Magazine in 2024.

In the Rhode founder's words:

"I'm not super close with my family at this point in my life because I feel like I’m very independent. I'm my own individual now, and I've built my own family.”

She also spoke about her childhood and called it "fairly normal".

She added:

"But when I look back on my childhood and how I grew up, I have very fond, beautiful memories... Obviously, I come from the family that I come from, and I always recognized that that was different."

Stephen Baldwin has built a long-standing career in Hollywood and has also supported his daughter Hailey’s success recently. Despite public speculation about her family life, Hailey has expressed pride in her independence and the life she has built.
