Are they? Is it? Will they? Engaged? Marriage? Bieber? The news that Justin Bieber is reportedly engaged to Hailey Baldwin is. shocking! The internet is currently going into an official meltdown while we are trying to put the pieces of this bizarre story together.
According to several media reports, two women claim to be eyewitnesses to Justin proposing to Hailey at a resort in the Bahamas on Saturday night. According to eyewitnesses, the couple (who've had an on-and-off relationship for sometime) were at a restaurant on the property of the resort when Justin's security team told everyone present to put their phones away, because something special was about to happen.

According to the two unnamed women, this was when Justin apparently proposed to Hailey in front of everyone. And she apparently, obviously, predictably said yes! Allegedly a second source spoke to TMZ as well, supporting the story and confirming that the couple are engaged. More evidence that makes this not rumor but fact is that Justin's Dad, Jeremy Bieber, posted a photo of his son along with the caption: @justinbieber Proud is an understatement! Excited for the next chapter!
And it seems that Hailey's father Stephen Baldwin is on the happy dad bandwagon as well!
In a since-deleted tweet, the 52-year-old actor wrote:
"Sweet smile on my face! Me&wife (Kennya) Always pray 4 gods will!! He is moving in the hearts of JB&HB. Let's all pray for His will to be done . Love you 2 so much!!!"
We have no idea why he would delete the tweet but we are pretty sure that's a conformation. So how does everyone feel about this? The 24-year-old super star and 10th most followed person on Instagram is engaged to a 21-year-old American model and television personality. Too soon? Too young? Too ridiculous? Yes, yes and yes! Maybe we are being judgmental here - but can you blame us?
If we look at the facts, sure we can all agree that a "Hollywood" 24 isn't a normal 24 but is a Justin Bieber 24 a normal Hollywood 24? Absolutely not! Justin Bieber's life, his every wrong move, his mistakes, his blunders, his apparent arrogance and disregard for his fans and sometimes the law have been splashed on tabloids as well as on more serious new outlets. Is he ready for marriage? Hmm... Didn't he and Selena Gomez just break up? And who is Hailey Baldwin really? Do we know much about her? Does she live up to the epic love story that Bieber and Gomez are known for?
Still unsure whether we should be celebrating or believing this news, we've decided to create a timeline of Bieber's love life that would have lead him to find the woman he wants to marry!
Hailey Baldwin
Bieber and his now rumoured fiancee met when Hailey was 14! Her father, actor Steve Baldwin, introduced her to Bieber backstage at The Today Show and if you YouTube the video, Hailey looks thoroughly unimpressed. Then awkwardly, in 2011 Hailey tweeted the following: "I don't care what anyone says but Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez together is the definition of a teenage dream! #word" We bet she's regretting that Tweet now. Becuase they have the same friend circle and attend the same church, rumours swirled about their relationship and Bieber and Hailey kept denying that they were dating and that they were just friends. Then after being spotted on a holiday together, Bieber made it Insta official when he posted a photo of them kissing on January 2016. That relationship ended shortly after and the two didn't speak for two years! Hailey dated Shawn Mendez, Bieber dated a whole bunch of other girls and then somehow they were friends again, cuddling in church, Shawn Mendez and Selena Gomez were out of the picture and boom they are engaged!
Sofia Richie
In 2016, Bieber and Sofia Richie went public with their relationship. Both of them were posting photos of of their travels together on their social media accounts. Bieber even pleaded with fans to stop harassing Richie, which eventually prompted a sarcastic nasty comment from Selena Gomez. Bieber and Richie dated for a few months until he broke off their relationship.
Kourtney Kardashian
Weird. Just weird. In December 2015 Us magazine reported that Bieber was hooking up with Kourtney Kardashian after the mother of three split from longtime boyfriend Scott Disick. The two were seen hanging out together at various clubs. This is so weird given that Scott Disick is now in a full-on relationship with Sophia Ritchie who was at some point dating Bieber himself.
Selena Gomez
Where do we begin? Bieber and Selena Gomez began their relationship in 2011 although they were friends prior to that. They were for many teenagers the ultimate "couple goal" often spotted together on the red carpet, on vacation or just out and about riding bicycles. They broke up for the first time in November 2012 after cheating and jealousy rumors. Then they were back together in September 2014 only to break up again that same year in October. Their on-again-off relationship continued to make headlines throughout the years which included some random social media fights and interactions between the two of them. They reunited in November 2017, traveling to Jamaica together to attend Bieber's father's wedding. Then at some point they broke up somewhere around March 2018, mainly because of Gomez's mom's disapproval. Yikes!
Miranda Kerr
We were pretty surprised by this ourselves! In 2012 after a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, there were rumors that Bieber and super model Miranda Kerr exchanged flirty text messages and kisses on the cheek. At the time, Miranda was married to Orlando Bloom. They later split in 2013 and rumores swirled again that Bieber and Kerr had hooked up after the show despite Miranda denying these claims. Makes us wonder about all those fights Orlando Bloom and Beiber had in the club.Hmmmm.
Caitlin Beadles
In 2009 Bieber met Caitlin Beadles at church when he moved from Ontario, Canada to Atlanta, Georgia. It was a short lived relationship that ended due to Justin's busy touring schedule. Allegedly his song, Never Let You Go, is about her.
Adriana Lima
This one really surprised us! Allegedly in May 2014, Bieber and Adriana Lima hooked up at a Cannes Film Festival afterparty. But the model denied these claims in December 2015. we don't blame her for denying them even though we have a sneaky suspicion they might be true.
Jayde Pierce
Bieber and British YouTuber, model and beauty expert Jayde Pierce were thought to have been dating when the two were spotted together for the first time in May 2015. Although they never confirmed if they were more than friends many people believe that his song Love Yourself is about Jayde.
Nicola Peltz
In 2016 Us Weekly reported that Bieber and Nicola Peltz had been having sleepovers at his Beverly Hills home since meeting at an album release party in Toronto. The singer and the Transformers: Age of Extinction actress were spotted on several dates, but the relationship apparently fizzled out to nothing.
