He’s expecting his first child with his wife, but Justin Bieber’s girlfriends were numerous before he settled down with Hailey Beiber. The “Baby” singer and Stephen Baldwin’s daughter have been married since 2018 and announced in May 2024 that she was pregnant.
The celebrity power couple goes way back and was introduced back in 2009 by Hailey’s dad. However, Justin was with Selena Gomez at the time. Hailey and Justin met again in 2011, but it wasn’t until 2016 during one of Justin’s breaks from Selena that rumors of a budding romance between Justin and Hailey began to circulate.
At the end of 2015, Hailey and Justin’s flirty interactions were documented on Instagram. It all came to a head when Justin shared a photo of locking lips with Hailey in 2016 and their romance was seemingly confirmed. Here’s a rundown of Justin Bieber’s girlfriends before marrying Hailey.
From romances past.
Caitlin Beadles and Beiber reportedly met at church when he moved from Ontario, Canada to Atlanta, Georgia in 2009, but his touring schedule got in the way of their romance. Apparently “Never Let Go” is about their fling.
They spent Thanksgiving together in 2017 when Christian Beadles, Caitlin’s brother, and Justin’s friend, posted a picture of their reunion with the caption “So thankful for my brother and sister this thanksgiving.”
Having featured in his “Baby” music video, Jasmine Villegas and Bieber were supposedly an item from January to September 2010. “It was like a little kid thing, it was like puppy love, if you could even call it that,” she recalled about her relationship with the “Baby” artist in a 2015 interview.
She got an icy reception from fans, though. “I got a couple middle fingers in the crowds, a little bit,” she said. “It comes from really anything when you’re in the eye and when you date somebody who’s a pop star.” They mutually decided to stay friends after their breakup.
Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber were teenage couple goals back in the day. Even before the two started dating, Selena gushed over Justin’s talent and personality when they first met when she was 18 and he was 16. “I love Justin. When he first started to come over from Canada, his manager contacted me and he just said that he would like to meet me and he was just such a good kid,” Selena told MTV back in 2010. And I feel like a big sister now, ’cause I want to protect him. So I’m always very cautious with him, but he is so talented and he’s so sweet, so that just started us wanting to work together. Now he’s just become one of my good friends.”
The on-and-off love birds made things official around September 2010 and made things public in February 2011 when they walked down the red carpet of the Vanity Fair Oscar party. They later broke up in November 2012 due to their crazy schedules. They briefly reunited in 2014 but called it quits later that year. From back-and-forth spats and dating other people, the couple eventually reunited in 2017 after being spotted on a bike ride together and publicly sharing each other on social media.
The relationship evolved and they became a household couple name. However, as things started to unravel more and more details of their relationship started to spill, “Jelena” started to fall apart right before our eyes in 2018. The prospects of them reuniting a fourth time ended when Justin proposed to Hailey Baldwin in 2018.
Just days before the Biebers announced they were expecting their first child together, the “Lose You to Love Me” singer made the decision to disable her comments on social media to avoid any unnecessary drama.
The Only Murders in the Building star explained her decision in an interview with Today’s Hoda Kotb at a mental health summit put together by her Rare Beauty Impact Fund. “I disabled all my comments on my photos on Instagram for only my friends. So I think I’ve created boundaries to help me,” Selena told Kotb.
“Obviously people fussed about it. They fuss about everything,” the 31-year-old said. Despite the response from fans, Selena insisted that it was the right decision for herself. “I felt empowered by doing that, by saying, ‘This is just for me,’” she added.
Justin and Kourtney Kardashian were linked in 2015 after sources told Us Weekly they were hooking up after she split from her long-term boyfriend Scott Disick. There’s even speculation among fans that Kourtney and Scott’s son Reign looks like Biebs.
On March 7, 2024, Kourtney shared a carousel from the family’s trip to Australia. “Crazy how much Reign looks like Bieber,” one person wrote, while another speculated, “Reign is Bieber’s kid for sure.” Another wrote: “I will always always be sure that that child is Justin Bieber’s son 🙌.”
At Hailey’s pregnancy announcement, Kourtney simply wrote: “blessing” in the comments section among the thousands sending their well-wishes.
Transformers: Age of Extinction star Nicola Peltz (before she became a Beckham, obviously) dated Justin Bieber for a brief moment in 2016. According to Entertainment Tonight, the pop star was “ready to settle down” (ahem, at age 22). “Justin wants something serious with a girl again,” a source told ET. “He doesn’t want to f—k around anymore. It was a real date with her.”
Justin Bieber and Sofia Richie were romantically linked in 2016. They were spotted together frequently, even on vacation, over the course of 6 weeks. “We have a special relationship. Justin is very easy to talk to, and that’s hard to find with people in Los Angeles,” Richie said in an interview with Billboard at the time. Upon the news that Hailey was pregnant, Sofia commented “Ahh! Congratulations.”
In October 2017, a source told Us Weekly that the Ballers actor and Bieber were “totally smitten with each other” after meeting a week earlier at a church service in Beverly Hills. During a dinner in LA, the insider observed, “They were all over each other and didn’t care who was watching.”
After a short breakup and reunion, Justin proposed to Hailey during an intimate vacation to the Bahamas. He shared the news via Instagram after the tabloids had picked up on the story, noting in a very long caption: “Was gonna wait a while to say anything but word travels fast, listen plain and simple Hailey I am soooo in love with everything about you! So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of you loving you patiently and kindly.”
They married in a courthouse wedding in September 2018, just four months after reuniting and two months after announcing their engagement. A year later, they celebrated their love again at their second wedding in South Carolina.
