Hailey Baldwin has opened up about the toughest test she and husband Justin Bieber had to face so far in their marriage.

The model, 24, tied the knot with the singer, 27, in 2018 and while their relationship has gone from strength to strength, it hasn't always been smooth-sailing.

The pair hit a breaking point during the first year of their marriage, and Hailey has previously admitted it was "very difficult" for her to deal with.

Justin has been vocal about his experience of depression, which he struggled with after marrying Stephen Baldwin's daughter Hailey.

The couple discussed the early stages of their respective struggles on the podcast In Good Faith with Chelsea & Judah Smith, with Hailey revealing her mother, Kennya Baldwin, talked her into staying with the singer at one particularly tough stage.

"I remember I called [her] a few different times, one particular time [when] we were in Brooklyn and I was calling her, I was crying, and I was like, 'I just can't do it. There's no way that I’m going to be able to do this if it's going to be like this forever,'" she recalled.

"And I just remember she was so calm on the phone and she was like, 'It's going to pass, and you're going to be fine and he's going to be healthy and we're here for you.' And I do feel like we had a lot of support," she added.

Reflecting on the importance of the moment, she went on: "I feel like if I didn’t have support, it would've been 10 times harder, and it was already the hardest thing in my life at the time so I also just think I was in it.

"I made a decision. I know for a fact that I've loved this person for a very long time and now would not be the time to give up on him. I just wouldn't do that to him."

She added: "Imagine abandoning somebody in the middle of the worst time of their life, potentially. I'm not that type of a person, so I was going to stick it out no matter what the outcome was going to be. It was really hard."

Meanwhile, Justin opened up about his experience of depression, having previously asked his fans to "pray" him.
