MANILA, Philippines — International pop star Justin Bieber and American model Hailey Baldwin are set to tie the knot as reports said the Canadian singer asked the model to marry him in Bahamas on Saturday, which she happily accepted.
International tabloid website TMZ reported that two eyewitnesses have confirmed the engagement. In the following Instagram post, a fan claims to have shot Hailey's engagement ring.
The two eyewitnesses said everybody in the restaurant were dancing salsa when Justin’s security told everyone to put their phones away because something will happen.
The Canadian superstar then proposed to his girlfriend in front of all the people.
Reports said that Hailey is the reason why Justin and Selena’s second chance to be together has been aborted. But Justin and Hailey also dated before back in 2016.
After the news broke out that the couple is now engaged, a fan posted a photo of Justin and Hailey hanging out, with the model wearing a huge oval diamond ring on her finger.
Meanwhile, Justin’s father Jeremy posted on Instagram a photo of his son with the caption “@justinbieber Proud is an understatement! Excited for the next chapter!”
His mom Pattie also posted on Twitter: “Love Love Love Love Love Love Love," that seems to confirming the engagement of her son.
Love Love Love Love Love Love Love.

Justin reportedly met Hailey when she was 13 or 14, when her dad, actor Steve Baldwin, introduced them at the backstage of “The Today Show.”
On February 2011, Hailey and Steve attended Justin’s “Never Say Never” red carpet premiere. That same month, Justin confirmed his relationship with Selena Gomez.
“I don’t care what anyone says but Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez together is the definition of a teenage dream! #word,” Hailey said in a Twitter post in September 2011.
Justin and Selena, also fondly called “Jelena,” dated on and off until 2014, just as when Bieber and Hailey reportedly became closer because of their common friends and church mates at Hillsong church, Kylie and Kendall Jenner.
Throughout 2015, Justin and Hailey have been rumored to be dating, fueled by their matching tattoos, “G,” which stands for “Georgia,” a kid from their church suffering from Lissencephaly.
The pair spent New Year on a tropical vacation with Biber’s family, but did not make their relationship official until January 3, 2016, when Bieber posted an Instagram photo of them kissing.
In interviews with the Hollywood press, Bieber admitted he was in a non-exclusive dating relationship with the model.
But in Aug 2016, Justin unfollowed Hailey on Instagram, and began dating Sofia Richie.
In March 2018, Bieber and Selena reportedly ended their attempt to get back together again.
In May this year, after almost two years of not speaking with Justin, Hailey confirmed that she has rekindled her friendship with the pop star.
“Justin and I were friends for a long time… I met him when I was really young and he was one of my best friends. Everybody knows that at a certain point in time that turned into something else, but that just happens when you’re 18, 19,” she told The Times UK. “We went through a long period of time when we weren’t friends. We didn’t speak for quite some time and there was a lot of weirdness that went on. We’ve moved past that."
In June 11, Justin and Hailey has been caught on video getting cozy at a night club in Miami.
In June 16, fans started to photograph the two making out in different places — from New York to Washington.
In June 29, Hailey deleted all photos of singer and ex-boyfriend Shawn Mendes on her Instagram. The couple just made their relationship public last May at the 2018 Met Gala.
