Chynna Phillips revealed that her late father, musician John Phillips, “blindsided” her with information just hours before her planned wedding to Billy Baldwin.
“We were talking about things that were pretty earth-shattering and a lot of it had come to the surface and my dad had a lot of feelings,” she shared on her YouTube channel “California Preachin'” last week.
“Obviously it brought up a lot of emotions for me and I remember being up all night just crying and also I was numb.”
The YouTube star felt the late musician wanted to “come clean” before walking her down the aisle.

The conversation took place the night before her wedding and left Chynna vacillating between crying and acting “stoic.”
“…that was because my dad had just revealed some really important information to me and I just felt blindsided by it,” she explained.

Chynna, 56, never explained exactly what she and the late Mamas & The Papas singer talked about, but she said he must have felt the need to “come clean” before walking her down the aisle.
She and the Backdraft star married the next morning and became parents to daughters Jameson, 23, and Brooke, 19, and son Vance, 22. Last month, Chynna revealed that she and Baldwin, 60, had been quietly splitting up for six months.
The Wilson Phillips band member previously admitted that she missed her childhood because her father, who died of heart failure in 2001 at the age of 65, was “high.”

She also publicly supported her half-sister Mackenize Phillips after she revealed in her memoir “High on Arrival” that she and John had a decades-long incestuous relationship.
“When I stood by you, I meant it with all my heart, you know? I really did. And I believed you,” Chynna told Mackenzie, 64, on her YouTube show in the fall.
“And I want you to know that I was proud of you for coming out [with your story] … even if it was painful for everyone.”
