MUMBAI: The dynamic duo, Hailey and Justin Bieber, known for their headline-grabbing romance, are once again under the spotlight, but this time for less romantic reasons.

Instead of PDA or past relationship entanglements, the couple is facing what insiders describe as a 'challenging' phase in their relationship. Hailey’s father, Stephen Baldwin, recently took to social media, seeking prayers for his daughter and son-in-law, hinting at underlying difficulties within the marriage.

TMZ reports that Stephen Baldwin's public request for prayers has caused some tension within the family. While the exact nature of the couple's troubles remains undisclosed, a recent social media post by Stephen alluded to personal issues affecting the young couple.

Sources close to the situation reveal that this wasn't an impulsive plea but rather tied to a specific issue Hailey and Justin are navigating. Despite maintaining a stoic appearance, recent sightings of the couple leaving a Los Angeles church have sparked speculation about deeper problems.

Hailey, 27, is reportedly displeased with the public attention their marital issues have garnered. The controversy began when Stephen, 57, shared an Instagram post featuring Justin, 29, singing a Christian song, accompanied by a caption urging prayers for the couple's wisdom, protection, and spiritual closeness. The post shed light on the Baldwin family's regular prayer sessions for Hailey and Justin, acknowledging the unique challenges faced by those in the public eye.

Stephen emphasized the spiritual warfare often encountered by individuals in high-profile positions, highlighting the importance of support and prayers. As the media scrutiny intensifies, Hailey and Justin's marital struggles continue to fuel speculation, leaving fans and observers alike wondering about the future of their relationship."
