Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are two of social media’s biggest names. Justin, an international pop star and Hailey, a globally known model and fashion icon. The two stars met for the first time in 2009. Since then, Hailey and Justin have had an awkward, long, and eventful relationship history, resulting in them finally getting married in 2018. Surprisingly, the couple has stayed together, and their relationship is seeming to be going strong. However, just because they are happy today, doesn’t mean they always were. Their relationship, similar to many other celebrity couples, has seen its fair share of scandals and drama. Despite the ups and downs, the pair has seemingly worked things out and are currently living together in Los Angeles. Here is the complete timeline of Justin and Hailey’s whirlwind relationship.
2009: Justin and Hailey first meet
- In 2009, when Hailey was only 12, she attended Justin’s fan event with her dad, who was friends with Bieber’s mom. According to a later interview with Vogue, the account was extremely awkward, and the opposite of romantic.
2011: Hailey attends a second fan meet for Justin
- In 2011, Hailey attended the Bieber Fever event with her Dad. In an interview, Hailey shared that at this time she was not a fangirl. Hailey’s disinterest in Justin can be partially explained by the pair’s age gap of three years: Hailey was 14 when Justin was 17 in 2011.
2014: The pair is seen attending Church together
- In November of 2014, Justin and Hailey were spotted at Hillsong Church with Hailey’s friend and co-model, Kendall Jenner. At the time, Justin was on a break with his on-and-off girlfriend, Selena Gomez. This instance is the first of many times the paparazzi would find these two spending time together. The get-together left many fans questioning their relationship, and wondering if the two were more than friends.
- In December of 2014 both Hailey and Justin continuously shut down the many rumors that they were dating, calling each other “just friends” in multiple interviews.
2015: The two are spotted many times together
- Justin and Hailey were seen celebrating New Years Eve together this year, which quickly led to the two of them getting matching tattoos just a few months later. Through this time the pair remained “just friends”, despite the swirling rumors around their relationship. Things really began to heat up when Justin attended a family vacation with the Baldwins. The couple blessed their fans with fun pictures and videos from the trip all over social media.
2016: Their relationship went way up, and then way down
- On New Year’s Eve 2016, the two are seen kissing at Leonardo Di Caprio’s party. This was the first real spark of a romantic relationship fans truly saw between the two.
