First come love, then come marriage, then comes — changing your last name! Hailey Bieber faced quite a dilemma when she wed Justin Bieber, and at first, she was hesitant to drop Baldwin as her last name in favor of Bieber. In an interview with Bustle, the model lamented about how hard it was for her to decide to take the plunge and switch from Baldwin to Bieber, though she had her reasons. "I'm very proud of my family name. I come from a great family with a history in this industry," she told the outlet, referring to her father, Stephen Baldwin, and her famous uncle, Alec Baldwin (as well as the rest of the Baldwin brothers). "I remember when I was going to change it, I asked my dad if he was going to be upset, and he was like, 'No! I don't care. We love you. All good, everyone still knows you're a Baldwin.' It's true!"
The star added, "It took some getting used to, for sure. It's definitely strange, it takes adjusting," she told the outlet. She also reiterated that changing her last name from Baldwin to Bieber doesn't take away her identity but instead "gets added to who I am." According to Us Weekly, Hailey also made the name change super-official by changing her Instagram handle from Hailey Baldwin to Hailey Bieber in November 2018 — just two months after she and Justin tied the knot.
