Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin first met backstage at The Today Show in 2009, when Hailey was 12 and Justin was 15. Her father, actor Stephen Baldwin, introduced them, setting the stage for a friendship that would eventually blossom into romance.

Justin began dating Selena Gomez in 2010, and their relationship continued on and off for several years. Meanwhile, he and Hailey grew closer through their shared circle of friends and briefly dated before splitting in 2016.

After Justin and Selena’s final split in 2018, he and Hailey rekindled their romance that June. Their reunion quickly became a whirlwind love story: Justin proposed in the Bahamas on July 7 and publicly confirmed their engagement two days later.

"Was gonna wait a while to say anything but word travels fast. Listen plain and simple Hailey... I am soooo in love with everything about you! So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of you loving you patiently and kindly. I promise to lead our family with honor and integrity letting Jesus through his Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do and every decision we make. My heart is COMPLETELY and FULLY YOURS and I will ALWAYS put you first! You are the love of my life Hailey Baldwin and I wouldn’t want to spend it with anybody else. You make me so much better and we complement each other so well!! Can’t wait for the best season of life yet!. It’s funny because now with you everything seems to make sense! The thing I am most excited about is that my little brother and sister get to see another healthy stable marriage and look for the same!!! God's timing really is literally perfect, we got engaged on the seventh day of the seventh month, and the number seven is the number of spiritual perfection, it’s true GOOGLE IT! Isn’t that nuts? By the way, I didn’t plan that, anyway My goodness does feel good to have our future secured! WE'RE GONNA BE BETTER AT 70 BABY HERE WE GO! “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains FAVOR from the Lord!” This is the year of favor!!!!"

In September 2018, Hailey’s uncle, actor Alec Baldwin, told Access Hollywood on the Emmys red carpet that the couple had already married. That month, Justin and Hailey quietly tied the knot at a New York City courthouse.

A year later, on September 30, 2019, they celebrated their marriage with a wedding ceremony in South Carolina. According to People, 154 friends and family members attended, including Kylie Jenner, Jaden Smith, and Justin’s longtime mentor, Usher.

In May 2024, Justin and Hailey announced that they were expecting their first child, sharing photos and a video from their vow renewal. On August 23, they announced the arrival of their son, Jack Blues Bieber, with Justin posting a photo of the baby’s tiny foot on Instagram.
