Hailey Bieber may be making headlines with her date night looks, wedding fashion and skincare brand, but she’s not the only Baldwin daughter to make a mark.

Clearly, the Baldwins are a close-knit group. Alaia attended Hailey’s wedding to Justin Bieber in 2019, returning the favor after Hailey was her maid of honor at Alaia’s wedding to producer Andrew Aronow in 2017. Hailey and Justin also shared some cute photos of themselves doting on their niece Iris.
So who is Hailey Bieber’s sister? Here’s everything you need to know about Alaia Baldwin.

Alaia and Hailey are the daughters of actor Stephen Baldwin and graphic designer Kennya Baldwin. The family is no stranger to show business: Stephen’s brothers are Alec Baldwin, Daniel Baldwin and Billy Baldwin, all of whom are actors. Although Kennya is not in the entertainment industry herself, her father is Grammy-winning musician Eumir Deodato.
Although their father was a famous actor, Hailey shared that she and Alaia had a normal childhood, mostly away from the spotlight. “That was always the reality,” Hailey said in an interview in 2017. “But because of the way my parents raised my sister and I, it was always separate — it was dad’s work life. When we were at home, we were just at home, hanging out.”

Like Hailey, Alaia is also a fashion model. She worked as a model for Philipp Plein, Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein. She has also appeared in Harper’s Bazaar and Grazia magazines.
She talked to Marie Claire about her approach to modeling in 2016. “One of my ambitions is to take this career and see it as art,” she said. “I think it’s a lost concept because everyone is so focused on social media and making money. At the end of the day when I get frustrated and upset, I remember how much I love getting into character and creating a fashion story.”
She is an advocate working to raise awareness about endometriosis

Alaia has spoken publicly about her experiences with endometriosis, a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause severe pelvic pain, according to the World Health Organization.
Alaia wrote the foreword for EndoMETriosis: A Girl’s Guide, written by her doctor, Dr. Tamer Seckin. During an interview in connection with the book’s release, Alaia shared that her symptoms appeared when she was in her early twenties.
“It was a very, very fast path to very, very intense pain,” she said. “It just happened overnight, mostly.”
She also talked about wanting to support other people, especially young women, who are going through the same thing. “That was really a big motivation for me to share and be open to anyone who wants to have someone to talk to or who understands. Because it can be so isolating when you’re alone in the middle of those painful moments. You don’t have anyone who knows what it’s like,” she said.
Alaia is also an ambassador for the Endometriosis Foundation of America and frequently shares posts on her Instagram raising awareness of the condition.

Alaia is apparently close to her cousin Ireland Baldwin, daughter of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger. Ireland has spoken about their close relationship in interviews, even crediting Alaia with saving her life during a dark period.
“(Alaia) was the one who booked the ticket from New York and came to LA to see me,” she shared on Talk about the red table 2022. “She said, ‘Something is happening. … I feel something.’ She saved my life. I think I would commit suicide or be dead for sure. I was so close. I could feel it getting to that point. And she saved my life. She got me out of it.”
Alaia was at Hailey’s wedding to Justin Bieber

I love you and wish you both the best. I can’t wait to celebrate with you!”
