And he’s crediting Hailey with helping Justin through the hard time he’s having lately.
The Usual Suspects actor said: ‘I am just glad he connected with a great gal to help him survive.’
Stephen added: ‘Their happiness and their wellbeing and their health is more obviously now better than ever.’
In August 2024, Hailey and Justin welcomed their first child, son Jack Blues, and his grandad Stephen gushed with pride about the newborn describing him as ‘incredibly cute’.
Asked about the new parents, who got married in 2018 after a whirlwind romance, Stephen said that new parenthood has been ‘very relaxed’ for the couple.
He added: ‘They’re just spending really sweet, private quality time with Jack and we’re just getting ready to watch him come out on the world here, come out on the scene.’
He also offered his babysitting services: ‘Sometimes grandpa can clean up. You know what I’m saying?’
Hailey is allegedly choosing to keep her parents away from her baby son Jack amid her ongoing tensions with the pair, according to sources who say she has long clashed with Stephen and Kennya Baldwin over religious and political beliefs.

Though her father celebrated the birth of his grandson with a post on Instagram, which Hailey did not like from her own account, the model’s mother raised eyebrows after choosing not to mark the moment on her own social media feed.
It highlights Hailey’s strained relationship with her parents, which reportedly started to ‘break down’ further when the beauty mogul fell pregnant.
‘Hailey’s relationship with her family has been eroding for some time now,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘She was closer with her mom, but that started to break down when she fell pregnant because she didn’t want to tell her family for months.’
The insider explained that the situation that ultimately pushed Hailey over the edge was when her father shared a post asking fans to pray for Hailey and Justin, something which sparked concern for the couple.
