Fans have begun to wonder whether Hailey Bieber's father's cryptic comment from months ago was related to the star and her husband's recent pregnancy announcement.
Earlier this year, fans speculated whether the superstar couple were experiencing troubles in their marriage after the 27-year-old Rhode Skin founder's father, Stephen Baldwin, shared a cryptic social media post requesting prayers for his daughter and her husband.
In a post that was quickly deleted, the actor reposted a video of Justin playing the guitar and singing the lyrics of 'I Could Sing of Your Love Forever' by Delirious? and the Hillsong Worship which was originally posted by All Things Possible Ministries founder Victor Marx.
The post was captioned: "Christians please when you think of Justin & Hailey, take a moment to offer a little prayer for them to have wisdom, protection, and draw close to the Lord."

Naturally, this sparked concern among fans who wondered whether the couple was undergoing difficulties in their marriage, so much so that a source revealed to TMZ that Hailey was "p**sed" at the fact that attention was even drawn to the couple.
At the time, neither Justin nor Hailey addressed the fiasco directly but cemented their relationship when the beauty mogul posted a sweet birthday tribute for the 'Baby' hitmaker.
But months later, the pair made an exciting announcement that they will be becoming parents for the first time, which had led fans to wonder whether the star's father's earlier comments were related to it.
"Lmaoo Hailey Bieber’s dad gave away the baby thing a few months ago," wrote one user, while another added: "It seems that Stephen Baldwin's cryptic comment asking for prayers for Hailey and Justin Bieber may have been related to their pregnancy. Let's keep them in our thoughts and prayers during this exciting time in their lives."

The speculation comes shortly after Justin announced that the couple are expecting their first child together.
The 30-year-old took to Instagram to share a sweet video and series of photos of him and his wife cradling her growing bump as they confirmed their family will be growing very soon.
The couple, who have been married since 2018, appeared to also have a vow renewal ceremony, as Hailey donned a white lace gown as they stood in front of a priest.
Other moments from the video showed the couple posing together and sharing intimate kisses.
Have a look at the post below:Speaking of the prospect of having children, Hailey told multiple outlets that the pair were on the same page when it came to wanting to start a family - it was all just a matter of time.
Speaking to WSJ, she said: "You don't know how long that process [of getting pregnant] is ever going to take. Definitely no kids this year, that would be a little hectic, I think.
"There's this thing that happens for women when you get married. Everybody assumes it's: 'First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby.'"
She continued: "Well, what about the things I want to accomplish in my business? I think I had it ingrained in my head that I was going to want to have kids right away and I was going to have kids super, super young. Then I turned 25 and I'm like, I'm still super, super young!"
