Every fangirl’s fantasy romance is Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin. Here’s what you need to know about their relationship.

They first connected in 2009, when she was just 12 years old, at a Today show filming. The two didn’t particularly like the meeting that their parents Stephen Baldwin and Pattie Mallette set up, but it would eventually result in further meetings.

How did Justin Bieber meet Hailey Baldwin?

Baldwin was not only a fan of Justin Bieber but also of his on-again, off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez, who he dated from 2010 until 2018. Baldwin frequently showed her support for their romance by stating “Team Jelena” in a deleted tweet from 2011.

Eventually, after one of his several splits with Gomez, Bieber discovered himself romantically involved with Baldwin. Bieber and Baldwin made a flimsy attempt at dating in 2016. Even though their relationship didn’t last, they started dating again just two months after Bieber and Gomez briefly reunited in 2018.

After a few months, Baldwin and Bieber rekindled their romance, got engaged, and said “I do” in front of a judge in New York City.

They have surmounted a number of obstacles since getting married, including health concerns, rekindled arguments with Gomez, and suspicions that Baldwin is a “homewrecker.” This is a detailed chronology of Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber’s relationship to date, showing how they met on the Today program and progressed through their engagement and wedding.

When they initially met, Bieber and Baldwin were still quite young. They first met at a quick (and uncomfortable) meet and greet set up backstage at the Today show by Hailey’s father Stephen Baldwin and Justin’s mother Pattie Mallette. He was a 15-year-old pop sensation who was conquering the globe when she was 12-years-old.
