The whole history of Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber's relationship

#JustinBieber#HaileyBieber#haileybaldwin

The Biebs, ah, the Biebs. Where do we even begin? From Sofia Richie to numerous variations of Jelena, the Grammy winner's dating life has been a roller coaster (even in his leopard-print Audi). But, from his initial cringe-worthy encounter with Hailey Baldwin in 2009 to their 2018 Grand Makeout Tour of the United StatesTM, JB looks to have made Hailey Baldwin one less lonely girl (for now). Here's a detailed chronicle of their tumultuous relationship, including all the Selena rumours.


Cringe in 2009

Hailey, who was 12 at the time, was there with her father, Stephen Baldwin, and kept her arms crossed the entire time.


Baldwin's burgeoning adolescent angst manifested out in full force when her father, Steve Baldwin, introduced her to JB backstage at The Today Show when she was 14 years old. Take note of Bieber's small hair flip right before his hand reaches Baldwin's, then watch sparks *not* fly as she immediately crosses her arms again.


Hailey attended another Bieber Fever event in February 2011.


Stephen Baldwin strikes once more, allowing for another JB-to-HB clash. Hailey Baldwin, together with her father, attended the premiere of Justin Bieber's Never Say Never film at the Regal E-Walk 13 in Times Square, New York City. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez confirmed their romance the same month when they attended the Vanity Fair Oscar Party together.

Justin and Hailey went to church together in November of 2014.


Justin and Hailey were sighted together at Hillsong Church (together with Kendall Jenner), fueling suspicion that they were dating. Justin had split up with his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Selena Gomez, around the same time. It wasn't Justin and Gomez's first split, and it wasn't going to be their last.


December 2014: The pair fended off dating rumors

After they were seen together at church, Justin and Hailey denied any romantic involvement.


In an interview with E! News, Hailey said, "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."


Justin voiced a similar sentiment on Instagram when he shared a photo of him and Hailey captioned, "People are crazy. I'm super single and this is my good friend u would know otherwise."


Justin and Hailey received matching tattoos in July of 2015.


Justin and Hailey received identical "G" tattoos in the summer of 2015.


They were tattooed in honour of Georgia Veach, the little daughter of Hillsong Church pastor Chad Veach. Georgia was born with a unique brain abnormality defined by a lack of folds.


"This is for Chad and Julia Veach, the toughest couple I know!" Justin sent a message on Instagram. "Lissencephaly was diagnosed in their daughter at birth. She is amazing and has the most beautiful soul. You people make me better, and I consider myself fortunate to have you in my life."


Hailey went on vacation with Justin's family in December 2015.


Throughout their tropical holiday, Justin shared a slew of photographs and videos with Hailey, his father, and his brothers, including one fan-favorite video of Justin taunting Hailey while she poses for the camera.


Justin and Hailey spent another New Year's Eve together in January 2016, but this time it was more romantic.


January 2016: Justin and Hailey celebrated another New Year's Eve together — but this time in a more romantic fashion. According to People, Justin and Hailey spent the start of 2016 together in St. Barts, where they exchanged a New Year's kiss at Leonardo DiCaprio's New Year's party.


Bieber then posted a fuzzy shot of them kissing two days later.


Justin and Hailey discussed their non-exclusive relationship in February 2016.


After ringing in 2016 together, Justin and Hailey kind of-sorta confirmed their romance in separate interviews. Justin characterised Hailey as "someone I genuinely adore" in an interview with GQ, but he also stated that he didn't want to "commit" to anything.


Hailey also said that she and Justin were dating but were "not an exclusive pair" at the time.


"He's getting ready to go on tour," she told E! News. "Relationships are already complex at this age, but I don't like to talk about it since it's between me and him."


Justin, on the other hand, suggested that he could want to marry Hailey one day, stating, "I'm aware that in the past, I've wounded people and said things I didn't mean in order to make them happy at the time. So now I'm simply more concerned with the future, making sure I don't harm them. What if Hailey turns out to be the girl I'm going to marry?"


Between February and August of 2016, the two had a falling out.


Hailey subsequently told Vogue that, while she knew their relationship was neither serious or exclusive, it ended disastrously.


"Negative things happened that we still need to talk about and go through," she stated in a January 2019 interview.


"'Fizzled' isn't the proper term — it was more like a very dramatic excommunication," she continued. "There was a time when if I stepped into a room, he walked out."


Justin began dating Sofia Richie in August of 2016.


Whatever Justin and Hailey were up to in early 2016, it was gone by August of that year, when Justin unfollowed Hailey on Instagram and began dating Sofia Richie.


Justin and Richie didn't date for long — they split up in September — but Justin and Hailey's friendship lay dormant for over two years.


Justin renewed his relationship in November 2017.


Justin restarted his engagement with Selena Gomez in November 2017.


Shortly after being photographed out and about with model slash actress Paola Paulin, Justin allegedly travelled to Gomez's house to spend the evening with other pals (although Gomez's boyfriend at the time, Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd, was on tour).


After Gomez and Tesfaye divorced, she was seen wearing Justin's jersey and cheering for him at a hockey game in Los Angeles. Us Weekly swiftly reported that the on-again, off-again pair was back together.


According to E! News, Bieber and Gomez called it quits for the last time in March 2018, four months after their reconnection.


Hailey attended the Met Gala with Shawn Mendes on May 5, 2018.


Hailey attended the 2018 Met Gala with musician Shawn Mendes, who assisted in ensuring her outfit looked amazing throughout the evening.


This fueled relationship speculations between the two, which Hailey and Mendes both rejected.


Mendes subsequently confessed that the two were "more than friends," but not in a relationship. "I don't even want to give it a title. I believe it was more of a state of limbo "He told Rolling Stone about it.


Justin and Hailey reconnected in June 2018.

According to the couple's Vogue interview, they revived their love after both attending a conference in Miami organised by preacher Rich Wilkerson Jr.


"I assure you, the common denominator is always church," Hailey told Vogue. "We had moved on from the drama at that point. I just hugged him. He said at the end of the conference, 'We're not going to be buddies.' 'We're not?' I said."


Throughout the month of June, Justin and Hailey went on an unprecedented public unconfirmed-relationship tour.


They embraced at a club, kissed in Domino Park, directed traffic in the Hamptons, and went to church together, of course.


Justin proposed on July 7, 2018, when they were on vacation in the Bahamas.


During their tropical vacation, Hailey was photographed wearing a massive diamond on her left ring finger by fans. She shared on Instagram a year later that Justin proposed on July 7.


Justin and Hailey did not immediately announce their engagement at the time. Jeremy Bieber, Justin's father, though, expressed several permutations of being "proud" of his son on both Twitter and Instagram.


Steve Baldwin looked to be pleased as well, as he tweeted — and then erased — a mysterious message regarding spouses and wives.


Justin confirmed their engagement on July 9, 2018.


Justin confirmed their engagement by posting two Instagram images with Hailey and calling her the "love of my life."


"I was going to wait a bit before saying anything, but news travels quickly, so listen up, Hailey. I am completely smitten by everything about you! "He penned. "I'm determined to spend the rest of my life getting to know every single part of you and loving you patiently and lovingly."


Hailey's bridal party was announced in part on July 17, 2018.


The wedding date for Justin and Hailey was still unknown, but planning for the ceremony looked to be in the works – at least as far as her bridal party was concerned.


According to Kim Basinger, Hailey's sister Alaia and cousin Ireland will attend the wedding.


"They're in the wedding, Alaia and Ireland. So believe me when I say - it's cool!" According to Basinger. "It's really nice, in my opinion. It's a lovely gesture."



In 1993, Basinger married Hailey's uncle, Alec Baldwin. In 2002, the couple divorced.


Justin hinted that the wedding may take place shortly on July 29, 2018.


Justin and Hailey were out and about in New York City when a TMZ cameraman inquired about his future plans.


"What comes next? Getting hitched, "He responded.


According to Cosmopolitan, Justin and Hailey were seen meeting with a priest around the same time.


Hailey appeared on the cover of Vogue Mexico in August 2018 to show off her engagement ring.


The ring was first seen to the 21-year-old model's Instagram fans four days earlier, but it was front and centre when the September cover of Vogue Mexico was released.


Photographer Bjorn Iooss captured the gorgeous cover image, which shows Hailey draping her right hand towards the camera to show off her diamond ring.


Grant Mobley, a gemologist and diamond specialist, told Insider that the ring is worth $600,000 and weighs roughly eight carats.


Justin designed the ring with New York-based jeweller Jack Solow of Solow & Co., and the jeweller told People that Justin was very hands-on with the process.


"In the end," Solow told People, "Justin wanted something that would delicately showcase Hailey's wonderfully formed hands." "We chose an oval stone that was extraordinary in length and elegance."


Justin and Hailey married privately in a New York City courtroom on September 13, 2018.


According to TMZ, the happy pair was observed by "many eyewitnesses" at the Marriage Bureau in New York City, where marriage licences are granted.


According to eyewitnesses who have not been identified, Justin cried and told Hailey, "I can't wait to marry you, baby."


Vogue later confirmed that the couple married in the courthouse.


Justin told the magazine that he was on a self-imposed celibacy to deal with his "genuine sex issue." He stated that he no longer found joy in it and that not having sex made him feel closer to God.


"I wanted to rededicate myself to God in that way because I believed it was healthier for the state of my soul," he added. "As a result, I feel God blessed me with Hailey. There are advantages. You will be rewarded for your exemplary behaviour."


According to Vogue's Rob Haskell, the singer revealed that "a desire finally to have sex was one of the reasons they hurried to the courts."


Hailey dismissed rumours that she and Justin had previously married on September 14, 2018.


According to People, who cited anonymous inside sources, the pair was legally married at the courtroom.


According to People, "they went ahead and did it without listening to anyone."


According to the site, a "religious source" also verified that Justin and Hailey are now legally married, but that they intend to celebrate with friends and family shortly.


Hailey, on the other hand, rushed to Twitter immediately after the news broke to deny the allegations, writing, "I see where the speculation is coming from, but I'm not married yet!"


She eventually removed the tweet from her account.


Justin serenaded Hailey on a romantic trip to London on September 18, 2018.


The pair was in town for London Fashion Week, where Hailey attended the Adidas and JD shows after working with the labels as a "style developer."


The paparazzi followed Justin and Hailey throughout the city as they visited some of the city's tourist destinations — and the singer was even spotted busking outside Buckingham Palace.


A video clip shows the musician declaring, "That's the love of my life right there," while glancing at Hailey and strumming on his guitar.


According to an eyewitness, "They were quite amorous, coming to a halt on street corners to bring each other in close for a kiss. They never allowed each other get too close and were always caressing and joking with one other."



Justin declared Hailey his wife on Instagram on November 15, 2018.


Justin captioned a candid photo of himself with Hailey, "My wife is wonderful."


According to Elle, it was not the original caption for his shot. When he shared it on Instagram, it appeared to be captionless.


The tweet was seen by many as an official confirmation of the couple's new relationship status.


Hailey Bieber changed her surname on social media on November 16, 2018.


The model, who was formerly known as Hailey Baldwin, is now reportedly known as Hailey Rhode Bieber, Rhode being her middle name.


The Biebers appeared on the cover of Vogue on February 7, 2019.


When the pair appeared on the legendary magazine cover together, they formally announced their September courthouse wedding and candidly addressed marriage's trials and difficulties.


"We're coming from a genuine place," Hailey explained. "However, we're two young folks learning as we go."


"I'm not going to lie and say it's all a magical fantasy," she added. "It will always be difficult. It's a decision. It's not something you feel every day. You don't wake up every day thinking, 'I'm madly in love with you, and you're amazing.' That is not what marriage entails. But there's something lovely about wanting to fight for something, to commit to something alongside someone."


Hailey celebrated their one wedding anniversary on Instagram on September 13, 2019.


On her Instagram story, Hailey shared four gorgeous photographs of the pair.


She captioned the first shot, "1 year of being your Mrs."


The 22-year-old model had just opened up about their romance for the October cover story of Vogue Australia. According to Hailey, their relationship is "easier" now that they've "established a rhythm."


"I'd never shared a house before. I'd never had to cohabit with someone in that sense before, so I was learning for the first time how to share space with someone "She stated. "We were attempting to bend in the direction of each other and understand what was comfortable."


They conducted their legal wedding ceremony in South Carolina on September 30, 2019.


Justin and Hailey married for the second time in a conventional ceremony one year after their first.


According to Vulture, the Christian ceremony took place at the posh waterfront resort Montage Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina, where the pair arrived by speedboat the day before.


Their wedding was eventually postponed owing to Justin's battles with Lyme illness, mono, and anxiety.


"It was months of me being a new wife trying to figure out what was wrong and what was going on," Hailey explained to Elle. "He is now completely healthy. But going through that and then having to figure out, 'So where does our wedding go within this?' didn't feel right."


Hailey appeared in Justin Bieber's music video for "10,000 Hours" on October 4, 2019.


Justin's country duet with Dan + Shay was released alongside a beautiful music video that included each man's wife.



Justin has stated that he wishes to have a child with Hailey in January 2020.


"I'm going to totally destroy this tour," Justin stated during an Instagram livestream four months before his 2020 tour, which was subsequently cancelled due to COVID-19.


"You and me, exploring the globe," he went on, addressing Hailey, who was riding next to him in a car throughout the webcast. "Then we have a baby after the trip."


Hailey looked to respond with "possibly" or "eventually," then added, "a couple of years."


Two months later, on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Justin stated that Hailey will determine how many children they have "since it's her body."


Justin released his latest album, 'Changes,' on February 14, 2020, which was reportedly inspired by his wife.


"Fully devoted, you're here for the stay down," Justin sings on his fifth studio album, and "All you ever truly need is at home / We got the rest of our lives."


Hailey appeared in Justin Bieber's music video for "Stuck With U" in May 2020.

Hailey appears in home video footage with Justin throughout the film.



Justin stated that he wants to'start trying' for a kid by the end of 2021 on December 31, 2020.


Justin informed Hailey in a self-filmed tape from New Year's Eve that was eventually broadcast in the Amazon Prime documentary "Justin Bieber: Our World" that he hoped to "squish out a nugget" in 2021.


"How about in 2021?" Hailey inquired, surprised.


Justin further, saying that he intends to ""Start trying" by "the end of 2021," Hailey responded, "OK maybe." We'll see what happens."


"It's up to you, babe," Justin assured his wife at the end of the chat.


The pair attended the Met Gala together on September 13, 2021.


The pair dressed simply for the trendy event, which was themed "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion."

Hailey claimed in November 2021 that her mother pushed her to stay married.


During an episode of the podcast "In Good Faith with Chelsea & Judah Smith," Hailey said that her mother, Kennya Baldwin, had to intervene when her marriage was at its breaking point.


"I remember contacting her a few times, one time in particular when we were in Brooklyn and I was weeping and saying, 'I just can't do it.' 'There's no way I'm going to be able to do this if it's going to be like this forever,' says the author "She stated.



"And I just remember her being so calm on the phone and saying, 'It's going to pass, and you're going to be OK, and he's going to be healthy, and we're here for you,'" she says. Hailey went on.


Finally, Hailey stated that she was determined to being by her husband's side.


"I was there. I made a choice. I know I've loved this person for a very long time, and this is not the time to give up on him "Hailey addressed this on the podcast while discussing Justin's mental health. "I would never do it to him."


Justin declared an 'emotional collapse' on May 3, 2022, after understanding that marriage would not alleviate all of his difficulties.


The 28-year-old pop diva characterised marriage as a "journey" on an edition of Apple Music's "The Ebro Show."


"I remember when I first got married, I had a little bit of an emotional breakdown because I believed marriage would solve all my issues, and it didn't," Bieber told presenter Ebro Darden.


"It just sort of was a reflection of like, 'Man, you're a bit of a hypocrite,'" he continued.
