Breakups and Reunions

In the winter of 2016, the couple faced challenges and decided to part ways. Justin later reflected on their breakup, stating, “I just was honest with her, I was like, ‘I’m not in a place to be faithful.’” Despite this setback, Hailey and Justin were spotted together again in spring 2018, rekindling their romance at church services and public outings.

In July 2018, Justin shared the news of their engagement via Instagram from the Bahamas, stating, “You are the love of my life, Hailey Baldwin,” confirming their commitment to one another.

Their relationship gained further public interest when they graced the cover of Vogue in March 2019. In the interview, Hailey emphasized the importance of commitment in their marriage, stating, “At the end of the day, too, he’s my best friend. I never get sick of him.”

In September 2019, the couple celebrated their love with a second wedding ceremony, held at the Inn at Palmetto Bluff in Georgia. Hailey wore a custom gown designed by Virgil Abloh, ensuring the event was both lavish and memorable.

Fast forward to May 2024, Hailey shared the joyful news of her pregnancy alongside a vow renewal announcement on Instagram, showcasing her growing family in a stunning sheer dress. By August 2024, the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Jack Blues Bieber, further enriching their lives together.
