"I'm very proud of my family name," Hailey said. "I come from a great family with a history in this industry. I remember when I was going to change it, I asked my dad if he was going to be upset and he was like, 'No! I don't care. We love you. All good, everyone still knows you're a Baldwin.' It's true."
The model told Bustle that she's adapting to hearing her new name.
"It took some getting used to, for sure," she said. "It's definitely strange, it takes adjusting."
"The thing is, marriage is very hard," Hailey said. "That is the sentence you should lead with. It's really effing hard."
She added:"But there's something beautiful about it anyway about wanting to fight for something, commit to building with someone. We're really young, and that's a scary aspect. We're going to change a lot. But we're committed to growing together and supporting each other in those changes."
