However, his new age-gap marriage with her former friend has reportedly fractured his relationship with his daughter, who the source said 'cannot get behind this union or the relationship' and 'hasn't spoken to her dad in quite some time.'

'This felt like the ultimate betrayal from both of them,' the source said. 'They've been together for a while now.'

The source confirmed that Blair is in his sixties, adding that he 'is one of the biggest casting directors in Vancouver,' and 'never had problems getting young women because of his job.' 

Hayley has unfollowed her father and former friend on social media, while her sister Brittany, who attended the wedding, still follows both.

In contrast to her apparent distancing from her dad, Hayley is understood to have maintained a strong bond with her mother, whom her father separated from when she was a child. 

'Hayley was always very close with her mom growing up,' the insider said.

'She was always present and she basically raised her kids as a single mom. Blair wasn't a consistent presence and wasn't as involved in their lives as she was.

'Blair would bring his daughters around to the studio and work when they were little, but their mom was the one who did a lot for them. 

'Their mom really loved being a stage mom almost. She really wanted Hayley especially to get into acting. The split from their mom was quite messy.'

she named her mother as the 'It Girl' she looked up to while growing up. 

'I was always looking at how my mom interacted with people. How she didn't take s**t from anyone, and I always wanted to be like that. Inspiring then and still is!'

Hayley was born in Vancouver, Canada. She rose to fame for her role as Valerie - a key member of Josie and the Pussycats - on the CW series Riverdale, which ran from 2017 until 2021.

She also starred in the Netflix science fiction series, Altered Carbon, which ran from 2018 until 2020, as well as films The New Romantic (2018) and Spontaneous (2020).
