Model, entrepreneur, and internet personality Hailey Baldwin, daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, has made a name for herself both in the fashion world and online.
In 2018, she married pop sensation Justin Bieber, and the couple celebrated the arrival of their first child, a son named Jack Blues Bieber, in August 2024.
In 2022, Hailey launched her skincare brand, Rhode—named after her middle name—which quickly rose to global popularity.
More recently, she candidly shared her personal health struggles on social media, receiving an overwhelming wave of support and encouragement from fans around the world.
One commenter wrote, “I’m so glad this is being shared and more awareness is being raised. Sending Hailey healing thoughts.”
Another added, “I struggle with the same condition—it’s incredibly painful, honestly worse than childbirth. I really hope she finds relief.”
A third person shared their experience: “I went through the same thing, and it was so painful. I could barely walk and even fainted from it. Hoping she’s doing okay.”
This isn’t the first time the 28-year-old has faced a serious health scare.
Back in 2022, Hailey experienced a mini stroke that ultimately led doctors to discover an underlying heart condition. She later described it as “one of the scariest moments” of her life.
In an Instagram post, she recalled, “I was sitting at breakfast with my husband when I suddenly started experiencing stroke-like symptoms and was rushed to the hospital. They discovered I had a very small blood clot in my brain, which caused a brief lack of oxygen. Thankfully, my body cleared it on its own, and I made a full recovery within a few hours.”
The skincare mogul was later diagnosed with a patent foramen ovale (PFO), a condition the Mayo Clinic describes as a small, flap-like opening between the upper chambers of the heart that fails to close properly after birth.
Hailey underwent a procedure to close the opening, which she revealed was “fairly large.”
In a YouTube video, the 28-year-old shared: “I did this test, and they actually found that I had a grade five PFO, which is the most severe level.”
“By that point, I was just grateful they discovered it and understood what was going on,” she added.
According to Hailey, doctors believe a blood clot traveled through her heart, leading to a transient ischemic attack.
In a heartfelt update on Instagram, the model shared that she’s currently dealing with a health issue affecting her reproductive system.
Hailey revealed on her story: “Currently have two ovarian cysts, if you deal with ovarian cysts I’m right there with ya!”
According to the Mayo Clinic, ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop in or on the ovaries. Every female has two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus.
These cysts are relatively common and can lead to symptoms like pelvic discomfort, sharp pain, abdominal bloating, or a feeling of heaviness.
In some cases, complications can occur if a cyst twists or ruptures, which may result in more severe symptoms.
