Justin Bieber has his father-in-law’s stamp of approval.

Hailey Bieber’s dad Stephen Baldwin gave both of his sons-in-law a compliment — his older daughter Alaia is married to Andrew Aronow — during a recent podcast appearance.

Stephen, 59, appeared on the June 25 episode of The Adam Carolla Show, and as he talked about his famous family, he reflected on Hailey and Alaia’s families too. Stephen and his brothers Alec, William and Daniel Baldwin are all actors.

“I’m blessed that my two daughters married two great guys,” Stephen said, referring to Justin, 31, and Aronow.

The Fled star also praised his daughters as he said that they both are “the kinds of kids that, if I ever struggled, then yeah, they would bless me beyond measure.”

During the episode, Stephen celebrated Hailey’s recent major business news, the $1 billion sale of rhode to e.l.f. Beauty.

“She’s super smart, smart in business,” he said of Hailey, 28, noting that she “succeeded as a model prior to everything she’s doing now.”

“But the cool part was, she actually had an offer to do something pretty big and cool in cosmetics a couple years ago and didn’t. She wanted what the product was, for her company, to be really something that wasn’t just B.S.”

Justin has been similarly supportive of his wife’s big business move. A source told PEOPLE the singer is “beyond proud” of Hailey.

“He’s seen how hard she’s worked from day one,” the source said. “This was never a side project — Hailey poured her heart into building rhode. He’s so happy for her and supportive of this next step.”

Hailey’s dad has always been supportive of her relationship with Justin, whom she married in 2018, and whom he praised as “quite a family man” the following year ahead of the couple’s second wedding.

“He loves family and kids and things like that,” Stephen said of Justin, who had been open about the tough year he’d had just days before. “[He’s] grown leaps and bounds in the past year as far as taking time to himself and making sure he’s spending time with his wife and they’re having fun.”

When Hailey and Justin revealed they were expecting their first child together last May, Stephen was also a voice of support, as he shared a post on his Instagram of the maternity photoshoot.

“Love you guys ❤️ blessed beyond words🙏🏼 praise God 👶🏼let’s get ready to have some fun y’all 🎉,” he wrote in the post’s caption.

Now, Stephen is a grandfather to two after Alaia welcomed her daughter Iris in 2020 — and he told PEOPLE last year that he loves the role as he gave a nod to Hailey and Justin’s son, Jack Blues Bieber.

“Here comes Jack Blues Bieber. And yeah, he’s just … I don’t want to say too much. He’s unbelievably cute,” Stephen said. “And the world will see him soon.”
