Since 2018, Justin and Hailey Bieber have become one of the most followed couples in the United States. The famous singer, who will celebrate his 32nd birthday on March 1, 2026, and the model, have gathered a large community of fans who remain fascinated by the genesis of their love story. From their meeting in the 2000s to the birth of their son in 2024, let’s take a look back at this iconic couple among celebrities.
An Adolescence Friendship
It was behind the scenes of “The Today Show” that Justin Bieber met Hailey Baldwin, daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, who was a friend of the artist’s mother, in November 2009. At the time, the young singer’s career was taking off, and the 13-year-old woman was considering a career in modeling.
Between the two personalities, a friendship began to develop, especially when they reunited in 2014 at Hillsong Church. From then on, they became very good friends and regularly saw each other with other celebrities, including Kendall Jenner. While many speculated about a romance between them, both denied these rumors at the time, stating that they were just friends.
A First Romance
Although they spent holidays together and shared trips, it was New Year’s Eve on December 31, 2015, that marked the start of their love story. During that evening, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin were seen kissing passionately at a party organized by Leonardo DiCaprio in Saint-Barthélemy. A photo of them was shared on social media, confirming their relationship.
In the weeks that followed, Bieber mentioned to “GQ” that he was not ready to add a romantic relationship to his busy life. Likewise, Hailey Baldwin stated to “E!News” that they were not an exclusive couple. A separation occurred in 2016, shortly after Bieber was seen with Sofia Richie and going through a tumultuous relationship with Selena Gomez. In May 2018, Baldwin mentioned to the “Times” that they had gone through a long period of not being friends.
A Marriage and A Birth Later
Two years after their conflicts, the couple reconciled in June 2018, following Bieber’s breakup with Selena Gomez and Baldwin’s appearance with Shawn Mendes at the Met Gala. They then made numerous public appearances, and their engagement was announced in July 2018. On Instagram, Bieber publicly declared his love, stating that Baldwin would always be his priority. They got married in a civil ceremony in September 2018 in New York, before a grand ceremony in South Carolina a year later. In August 2024, they welcomed their first child, Jack Blues Bieber.
Despite facing difficult moments such as health issues and online hate, Justin and Hailey Bieber continue to declare their love for each other. Their strong bond was evident when Hailey referred to Justin as her best friend in the world during an interview with Vogue Australia. The couple’s enduring love and friendship have been a source of admiration for their fans.
