Sorry, Beliebers — there’s only one girl Justin Bieber has eyes for! After facing plenty of ups and downs in their relationship, the heartthrob finally sealed the deal with Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin), and the pair have been going strong ever since.
The couple tied the knot in September 2018 at a New York City courthouse and held a second, more traditional ceremony with friends and family in South Carolina a year later.
One month before their courthouse wedding, an insider told Us Weekly that Hailey was a positive influence in the Grammy winner’s life.
“Hailey has calmed Justin down a lot, and she has changed him as a man. He thinks she is his forever and considers her his best friend and soulmate,” the source said in August 2018. “Justin is over his crazy phase, and is more approachable and has been talking to lots of fans when he’s out. He’s happy to show the world that Hailey is his girl and he feels at ease with her.”

In a March 2016 cover story for GQ, the Canadian native reflected on his newfound love with Baldwin, and how he wasn’t looking to jump the gun by taking the next step too soon. “What if Hailey ends up being the girl I’m gonna marry, right?

While speaking to Natalie Manuel Lee for Hillsong Channel, Hailey got candid about what made her give her now-husband a second chance after all of their ups and downs. “I think I always knew if we did ever work things out and get back together, it was going to be a situation where it was very serious and we were gonna get married or [it] was going to lead to that,” she said in May 2020. “I didn’t necessarily know what the timeline was gonna be. I just trusted and I think [it] was such a huge leap of faith. … I’ve known him for a really, really long time and I just knew. I don’t know, it’s hard to explain.”
The same month, Justin admitted that he would change “a lot of things” about his behavior before settling down. “If I could go back and not have to face some of the bad hurt, I went through I probably would’ve saved myself for marriage,” he said on an episode of The Biebers on Watch.

April 2021
Justin revealed that his marriage with Hailey wasn’t easy and required the twosome to really work on things.
“The first year of marriage was really tough because there was a lot going back to the trauma. There was just a lack of trust,” he told GQ in April 2021. “There was all these things that you don’t want to admit to the person that you’re with, because it’s scary. You don’t want to scare them off by saying, ‘I’m scared.’”
Although the pair faced obstacles in their relationship, the Canada native added that it was all worth it.
“We’re just creating these moments for us as a couple, as a family, that we’re building these memories. And it’s beautiful that we have that to look forward to. Before, I didn’t have that to look forward to in my life,” he added at the time. “I didn’t have a significant other. I didn’t have someone to love. I didn’t have someone to pour into.”
July 2021
After a clip went viral of Justin seemingly speaking very loudly to his wife as they left a club together, the Arizona native took to social media to clarify that her husband wasn’t yelling at her.
“Reminiscing on how amazing last weekend was. Had the best time surrounded by so much love,” Hailey wrote alongside a photo of her kissing the singer via her Instagram Story. “Any other narrative floating around is beyond false. Don’t feed into the negative bulls–t peeps.”

November 2021
Hailey opened up about why she hesitates to dole out relationship advice, telling The Ellen DeGeneres Show guest host Yvonne Orji that she’s no “expert” when it comes to maintaining a healthy marriage.
“I’m newly married. I got married quickly. I’m still taking it a day at a time and I’m still learning a lot,” Hailey explained. “Having the time to be on your own and having the experience to be single and just, like, travel and having had that time I think was the most important thing. That was the biggest thing for me was that I had my own life experience before I joined my whole entire life with somebody and had my own identity and comfortable in my own skin.”
Earlier that month, the model said on the “In Good Faith with Chelsea & Judah Smith” podcast that Justin’s struggle with sobriety was hard on her as a partner. “I know for a fact that I’ve loved this person for a very long time and now would not be the time to give up on him. I just wouldn’t do that to him,” she said at the time.
