In 2009, Stephen Baldwin introduced himself — and his daughter, Hailey Baldwin — to Justin Bieber, telling the pop star they had been “enjoying” Justin’s music. Fast forward to this past weekend and Justin, who’s now engaged to Hailey, spent some time bonding with the man who’s set to become his father-in-law. Videos and photos posted to social media (via E! News) show the Biebs palling around — and even sharing a hug — with Stephen at CityFest West Michigan in Grand Rapids. “This isn’t surprising. Stephen and Justin have known each other for fourteen years,” an insider tells the website. “As a good future father-in-law, Stephen is making sure to spend time with Justin. Stephen was the same way with Alaia’s husband before they married. … Stephen made a point to do activities with him and attend events together to really give them a chance to get closer.” Despite early rumors Justin and Hailey planned to tie the knot right away, a source recently told E! they’re actually hoping to enjoy a “nice, long engagement” ahead of their wedding.
