Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber’s love story began in 2009 when Hailey was introduced to Justin by her father, actor Stephen Baldwin, backstage at TODAY. At the time, Hailey was just a preteen, and Justin was a teenager. Although the meeting sparked a connection, neither of them pursued a romantic relationship immediately. They remained acquaintances for several years, as Hailey grew older and Justin continued to establish himself as a global pop star. Their bond remained strong but was purely platonic during these early years.
As they matured, Hailey and Justin began spending more time together, and their relationship gradually evolved into something deeper. By 2014, rumors began circulating that the two were dating after they were seen together on multiple outings. However, Hailey firmly denied the rumors in a 2014 interview, insisting that she and Justin were just good friends. Despite their denials, the chemistry between them was undeniable, and by 2016, the duo’s friendship seemed to be turning into something more serious.
Throughout this time, Hailey and Justin’s bond deepened, with the two being seen together on vacation in late 2015. They continued to deny they were romantically involved, with Hailey saying that their relationship wasn’t exclusive in February 2016. In an interview with E! News, she described the challenges of maintaining a relationship with Justin while he was preparing for his tour. At this point, it was clear that they shared a deep affection for each other, though neither was ready to label their relationship.

Engagement and Marriage
In June 2018, after years of friendship, Hailey and Justin reconnected and began spending more time together. They attended a church conference in Miami, where they rekindled their friendship, but it quickly became clear that their feelings for each other were much more than platonic.
Shortly after this reunion, Justin proposed to Hailey, confirming their engagement in July 2018. Justin took to Instagram to express his love for Hailey, calling her the love of his life and announcing their engagement to the world. The couple’s whirlwind romance came to fruition, and the two were soon making plans for their future together.
Despite their young age, the couple decided to marry soon after getting engaged. Justin and Hailey had a private courthouse ceremony in September 2018, keeping the celebration intimate and personal.
However, the couple later opted for a more grand celebration, and in September 2019, they held a lavish wedding in South Carolina, with 154 guests in attendance, including famous friends like Kylie Jenner and Usher. Justin shared a sweet photo of himself kissing Hailey, calling her his “bride” on social media. This second ceremony solidified their commitment to one another.
Their first year of marriage was not without its challenges, as both Justin and Hailey had to adjust to the reality of married life. In a 2022 interview, Justin admitted that he initially believed marriage would solve his personal struggles, but he quickly realized that it didn’t work that way. Rather than offering an easy fix, marriage forced him to confront his own flaws and past traumas.
He shared that this led to emotional breakdowns, as he began to understand that he had more personal work to do. Hailey, too, reflected on the difficulties they faced early in their marriage, but both of them grew stronger as individuals and as partners. Their ability to openly communicate and learn from each other became key in strengthening their relationship.
In 2022, both Hailey and Justin faced significant health challenges that brought them closer together. In March, Hailey was rushed to the hospital after experiencing a blood clot in her brain. Hailey feared she was having a stroke, but doctors later diagnosed her with a grade 5 PFO, a condition in which a hole in the heart doesn’t close after birth.
She underwent a procedure to close the hole, which restored her health. Justin, too, faced his own medical challenges when he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that causes facial paralysis due to a shingles outbreak. Justin shared his diagnosis with fans, explaining the symptoms, which included difficulty moving one side of his face. Despite the challenges, both Justin and Hailey supported each other through their recoveries, and they found strength in their relationship.
