Justin and Hailey first met in 2009 at a fan event. The model’s dad, Stephen Baldwin, an actor and producer, introduced them to each other, telling Justin that he and Hailey have been enjoying the singer’s music.
A dive into Hailey’s social media showed that she was truly a fan of Justin. The model would post on Twitter, now X, about the singer, congratulating him on his singles topping the charts and gushing about his music shows and concerts. Hailey would even repost Justin’s musings on naps and cereals.
Surprising posts that also emerged from Hailey’s X, were those of her supporting Justin and his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, relationship. In 2012, Hailey responded to a now-deleted post, commenting, “She is beyond flawless, and he’s, you know, Bieber. They have the perfect relationship… -___- forever alone.”
Hailey also purportedly expressed in a now-deleted tweet captured by Elle and other outlets, “I don’t care what anyone says but Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez together is the definition of a teenage dream.”
In 2014, rumors began circulating that Justin and Hailey were dating. The talks intensified when the two began spending more time together. In November 2014, Justin was spotted leaving Hillsong Church in New York with Kendall Jenner and Hailey.

The romance rumors were spiced up when Hailey and Justin began posting more pictures of each other on their Instagram. In 2014, the duo was also seen dining at Spago in Beverly Hills and enjoying courtside seats at a Los Angeles Clippers game.

The pair were then captured shopping at Target in Los Angeles before indulging in over an hour of arcade games at Family Amusement Corporation.
Still, when Hailey was asked if she and Justin were dating, she responded, “I’ve known him since I was so young—since I was like 13—and we’ve just been good friends over the years. We have just stayed close and there’s nothing more to it than that.”
On December 16, 2014, the “Love Me” singer also addressed his rumored relationship with Hailey. He posted a selfie of him and Hailey in a car on Instagram and captioned it, “People are crazy. I’m super single and this is my good friend u would know otherwise.”
Still, in a New Year’s video from 2015, Justin is seen on a video with Hailey, that he posted on Instagram, sharing laughs and the excitement of ringing in the New Year side by side. The two were in a candid, playful mood, with the singer saying, “2015, I’m coming for you.”
Justin and Hailey eventually started dating in 2016 and in 2018, the singer shared that he had proposed. Justin’s proposal to Hailey was marked by a heartfelt Instagram post where he opened up about his love and commitment.

In the post, Justin expressed his deep affection for Hailey and his excitement about their future together. He highlighted how the model was the love of his life and how he was fully committed to spending his future with her. “My heart is COMPLETELY and FULLY YOURS and I will ALWAYS put you first!” added Justin.
The post was filled with emotional depth, showcasing Justin’s genuine feelings and the significance of this new chapter in their lives.
It was a public declaration of his intention to marry her, reflecting both his personal joy and the deep bond they share. “You make me so much better and we compliment each other so well!! Can’t wait for the best season of life yet!” wrote Justin.

In this touching proposal post, Justin Bieber revealed that his decision to propose to Hailey was deeply influenced by his spirituality. He mentioned that the Holy Spirit guided him throughout his relationship, reinforcing his belief that marrying Hailey was divinely ordained.
The “Baby” singer shared the biblical reference, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains FAVOR from the Lord,” emphasizing the spiritual significance of their union. He also noted the timing of their engagement, which occurred on the seventh day of the seventh month.
Justin highlighted the number seven as the number of spiritual perfections, underscoring how this synchronicity further affirmed his belief that their coming together was blessed and perfectly timed by higher forces.
In September 2018, Justin and Hailey were spotted at a courthouse in lower Manhattan in New York City, where marriage licenses are issued.
The couple reportedly got married on that day as onlookers claimed the singer was emotional and told Hailey that he couldn’t wait to marry her. Later, Hailey added Bieber, Justin’s last name to her own on social media.
Justin and his wife have now been married for five years. They have stood by each other through sickness and health. In 2020, Justin revealed that he has Lyme disease, adding that it had been a rough couple of years but he was getting the right treatment and hoping the illness would be treated soon.
In 2022, Hailey Bieber also went through a health issue when she was admitted to the hospital with stroke-like symptoms. Doctors discovered that she had a small blood clot in her brain, which caused a minimal lack of oxygen in her body.
As much as she recovered quickly and completely within hours, the model said the experience was one of the scariest moments she had ever been through. Justin thanked everyone who reached out to him and his wife with well wishes and concerns amidst that scary moment.
Hailey’s health issue had come just a month after Justin was diagnosed with Covid-19 and thankfully, he recovered. However, a few months after Hailey’s full recovery, Justin took to Instagram to reveal that he was suffering from a condition called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome.
In a video, the Canadian pop singer told his fans, “It is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves and has caused my face to have paralysis. As you can see this eye is not blinking. I can’t smile on this side of my face. This nostril will not move. So there’s full paralysis on this side of my face.”
Ramsay Hunt syndrome occurs when a shingles outbreak affects the facial nerve near one of the ears, as stated by the Mayo Clinic. Alongside a shingles rash, it can lead to facial paralysis and hearing loss in the affected ear.
This syndrome is caused by the same virus responsible for chickenpox. Even after the chickenpox has subsided, the virus can persist in the nerves and reactivate years later.
So, Justin had to cancel his upcoming shows to focus on getting better. He referred to the condition as serious but assured his fans that he would get better and get back to what he was born to do.
Now, Justin and Hailey, who have been through thick and thin together, have a reason to celebrate as they are expecting their first child. Justin posted videos and pictures from their vow renewal in Hawaii, showing Hailey cuddling her baby bump.

When Justin and Hailey learned that they were expecting a baby they only shared it with their family members and close friends. They were keen to keep everything on the low and enjoy the experience before they had to confirm it publicly. Even the friends were asked not to say a thing until the couple announced.

The two attended events in the last few months, including Coachella 2024, and opted for comfy outfits while keeping their appearance low-key. Justin and Hailey’s vow renewal and pregnancy announcement have quieted rumors that the two are heading for divorce.
An insider also dismissed divorce rumors, saying that Justin and Hailey are extremely happy and doing very well. The two have remained in love and are welcoming a baby despite dealing with challenging health issues and divorce speculations.
