Following Hailey Bieber's pregnancy announcement, fans are revisiting a cryptic message from her father, wondering if it hinted at the baby news all along.
The 27-year-old model revealed she's expecting her first child with husband Justin Bieber, 30, via an Instagram video on Thursday, proudly displaying her baby bump.
This revelation comes just over two and a half months after Hailey's father, actor Stephen Baldwin, 57, publicly requested prayers for his daughter and son-in-law, sparking concerns about their marriage.
The Usual Suspects alum shared a video of Justin singing, originally posted by All Things Possible Ministries founder Victor Marx, with a caption urging Christians to pray for the couple's wisdom, protection, and spiritual growth.

In his post, the 58-year-old evangelist noted that his wife Eileen Marx and Hailey's mother, Kennya Deodato Baldwin, regularly pray together for the couple.
Following Hailey's announcement, some fans speculated online about the connection between Baldwin's prayer request and her pregnancy, claiming his prayers worked miracles. Another hinted that Baldwin obviously cannot keep secrets.
Meanwhile, Baldwin expressed his joy for the couple on Twitter.
Reposting a photo from their announcement, he wrote, "Love you guys [heart emoji] blessed beyond words. Praise God. Let's get ready to have some fun y'all."
The image included a Bible verse from John 4:16: "God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them."
Victor's original caption in the video reposted by Baldwin highlighted the challenges faced by those in the spotlight and the importance of drawing closer to Jesus amid spiritual warfare.
At the time, while the reason behind Stephen's prayer request remains unknown, TMZ reported that sources close to Hailey suggest the couple is navigating a "private" family matter.
While Hailey's father likely had good intentions with this post, it has unfortunately placed the couple squarely in the glare of the rumor mill spotlight. Justin Bieber's wife was said to be unhappy.
Allegedly, the 27-year-old is displeased with the public attention the situation has garnered. Many said that the prayers were probably signs that the two were headed to a divorce.
Now that a baby is coming along, it's apparent that these rumors were untrue.
