Never say never! Who’da thought back in 2009 when a shy and seemingly embarrassed Hailey Baldwin first shook hands with Justin Bieber that one day he’d be slipping a rock on that finger? After the pair got engaged over the weekend, a throwback video of the couple meeting for the first time resurfaced online. In the clip, Hailey’s dad, Stephen Baldwin is chatting up the Biebs – and giving him a skateboarding video? – when he introduces his daughter. Hailey looks rather embarrassed by the interaction, the way only a dad can make his teenage daughter look. Justin is sporting his OG swishy Bieber hair and has way too much energy for Hailey. But apparently these two have found a way to make it work. While the pair were having a romantic Bahamas vacation on Saturday, the “What Do You Mean?” singer, 24, popped the question to the 21-year-old model. "Justin decided to propose to Hailey in front of a group of people in the Bahamas, but had been planning to ask her for a couple weeks now," a source previously told ET. "The ring is gorgeous and Hailey is over the moon with joy. The two can’t stop telling their friends and family how excited they are for their journey together. The two have always had a great bond, and it is stronger now than ever." The pair originally dated in 2015 before splitting up in early 2016. In fact, back in 2016 a fan tweeted a Vine of the couple meeting to Bieber and he retweeted it and replied, “Haha. Amazing.” For more from the couple, watch the clip below: Justin Bieber Wanted Proposal to Hailey Baldwin 'to be Special,' Source Says (Exclusive) This video is unavailable because we were unable to load a message from our sponsors.

It all apparently went down in a restaurant in the Bahamas as the two continued their tropical holiday, with members of Biebs’ security team telling the masses to put away their phones so the moment wasn’t captured for posterity. Much to the world’s annoyance. Since then we’ve been blessed with a photo of her supposed engagement ring, but we’re all still shaken and stirred over the news in general. One month. ONE MONTH. Three months ago he was still apparently shacked up with Selena Gomez, with whom he’d had an on/off relationship since 2010. They’re engaged and here is the sparkler (Picture: @azymanzur/Twitter) The lad loves an on/off relationship as even though he’s only been dating Hailey for the past month this time around, the two have a nine-year history. That’s right NINE YEARS. So not so weird they’re engaged after a month now, eh? Where did it all kick off? 2009 Hailey and Justin are introduced by Hailey’s father, actor Stephen Baldwin. It was awkward and adorable all at once, as a shaggy-haired Justin, in his cute 15-year-old Baby (baby, baby, ooooh!) stage shook the hand of an even younger 13-year-old Hailey. As Steve spoke to Biebs, Hailey just stood there with her arms crossed backstage at The Today Show. Sorry, this video isn't available any more. And thank the good lord Kris Jenner we have it all captured on video. Unlike the proposal. 2010 We weren’t blessed with another meeting between these two for some time, as they kept their distance in 2010. It was a sad year. Guess he was too busy with Selena… 2011 REJOICE! We see Bieber and Hails hanging out on the red carpet with her dad Steve (again) at the premiere of Justin’s doco Never Say Never. We’re starting to think Stephen Baldwin may be a bigger Belieber than we thought. Dad’s a third wheel (Picture: Rex Features) September 2011 In a SHOCK move that now is really quite hilarious and all kinds of awks, Hailey tweeted about her love of Jelena. Oh yes. In a tweet she said: ‘I don’t care what anyone says but Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez together is the definition of a teenage dream! #word’. Hailey shipped Jelena (Picture: Screengrab/Twitter) No surprises it’s now deleted. #word. 2012-13 Nothing. Nada. These two seemed to keep a wide berth in public. She retweeted him a lot, though. So there’s that, we guess. 2014 Hailey burrows herself further into Justin’s life, and vice versa, as she grows close to his friends Kylie and Kendall Jenner. This is where the rumours they were dating began. Fun fact: Kendall was said to have championed their friendship. Anyway, that same year, not long before the photo of them all hanging out with Gigi, Selena apparently unfollowed both Jenner sisters. Was it because they were hanging out with Bieber’s potential new lady? Or was she even following them in the first place? These are life’s greatest mysteries. November They take their third-wheel, we mean Kendall Jenner, to a Hillsong meet, where the three of them are pictured taking in the whole thing in all its grandeur and sing-song. Now we know they’re heading to church together, things are getting serious. Right? That same month Justin was on hand to celebrate Hailey’s 18th birthday with their new go-betweens, the Jenner sisters. December As dating rumours hit fever pitch, both parties deny any monkey business is going on. Hailey said to E! News: ‘I’ve known [Justin Bieber] since I was so young—since I was like 13—and we’ve just been good friends over the years. We have just stayed close and there’s nothing more to it than that.’ While Biebs calls her his ‘good friend’ and says he’s ‘super single’. We’re not buying it, but good for you guys. December 26 Hailey reportedly heads to Justin’s house on Boxing Day and doesn’t emerge til the next morning when they head to a diner for breakfast. She says she stayed her house, though. Emphasising the *her* house bit. She tweeted: ‘Glad I got such a good night sleep last night, at MY own home, alone. Quit it with the stories!’ January 1 2015 They say whoever you ring in the New Year with will be by your side for the year, so the fact Biebs and Hailey celebrated together was a big sign. So is it a thing these two celebrate NYE together? Surely. We’ll say yes. April Engagement rumours spring up (if only they knew) after a bogus news story claimed they were to be wed. The hashtag #CongratsJustinandHailey even went around. We need to get that going again… July They get matching tattoos in honour of a little girl named Georgia who is the daughter of Chad and Julia Veach from their church. Their daughter was born with Lissencephaly so the couple (and Selena, too) got ‘G’ tattooed on their persons. Everyone knows ink is for life. Mostly. Unless you’re super rich and can get that lasered off easily. So, yeah, we guess this isn’t as monumental as we initially thought. December Just a few days after he was rumoured to have reconciled with Selena (again) Justin’s trousers go missing and turn up on Hailey. She took to Instagram wearing a pair of his famous drop-crotchers and in the comments they have a lovers’ quarrel about it all as he asked for his slacks back. That same month they’re totally on, though, as they head, with their families, to St Barts for holiday. Justin gives Selena a wet willy and it’s all very playful and cheeky and THEY’RE TOTALLY DATING. January 2016 They spend another NYE together, as they make out at Leonardo DiCaprio’s party. This is the biggest sign of PDA from the couple yet and by golly gosh we lost our shit over it all. Even if it was a simple little NYE kiss (didn’t look that way, but moving on) it did nothing to quell hardcore rumours these two were definitely on. February They confirm they’re dating, however both say they’re not exclusive. Ah yes, that old chestnut. Hailey said to old pal E! : ‘We are not an exclusive couple. He’s about to go on tour. Relationships at this age are already complicated, but I don’t really like to talk about it because it’s between me and him.’ August 2016-May 2018 There was a really long period here where Justin goes back to Selena a couple times and even shacked up with Sophia Richie and even, reportedly, Kourtney Kardsahian (he has the same taste as Scott Disick, it seemed). Later Hailey would admit the two weren’t even friends. Sad face. May 27 2018 In aforementioned interview, right as Justin and Selena split for maybe the last time (to quote the man himself, never say never) Hailey said the two had ‘moved past’ their fall out and were friends again. ‘I met him when I was really young and he was one of my best friends,’ she told the Times. ‘Everybody knows that at a certain point in time that turned into something else, but that just happens when you’re 18, 19. It was what it was. ‘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.’ Which led to… June They’re holding hands and making out in New York like randy teens. Hailey and Justin get wet in Miami (Picture: BACKGRID) They also went on a trip to Miami to another Hillsong conference and were spotted on DC. Things are serious. Things are heating up. Things are getting very, er, engaging. July They spend the weekend of the Fourth of July in the Hamptons, sunning, beaching, just generally falling in love all over again (isn’t that cute). Look at them with their Starbucks… (Picture: Splash News) That week she was also sporting a ring on her ring finger. Was it a TBC holder for the massive sparkler that came to be? 7 July They’re actually, properly, probably, maybe engaged, you guys! Members of the fam tweeted and promptly deleted messages, which always means shit is about to go down. And they lived happily ever after… Can’t wait for the tunes. Got a showbiz story?

Justin Bieber has officially confirmed his engagement to Hailey Baldwin! On Monday, the "Sorry" singer posted two black-and-white pics of the pair cuddled up close to Instagram, accompanying it with a sweet post dedicated to his new fiancée. "Was gonna wait a while to say anything but word travels fast," Bieber, 24, captioned it. "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. I promise to lead our family with honor and integrity letting Jesus through his Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do and every decision we make. My heart is COMPLETELY and FULLY YOURS and I will ALWAYS put you first! You are the love of my life Hailey Baldwin and I wouldn’t want to spend it with anybody else. You make me so much better and we compliment each other so well!" "Can’t wait for the best season of life yet!" he added. "It’s funny because now with you everything seems to make sense! The thing I am most excited for is that my little brother [Jaxon] and sister [Jasmyn] get to see another healthy stable marriage and look for the same!!!" Bieber continued on, confirming he proposed to the 21-year-old model on July 7, 2018. As ET previously reported, the engagement went down while the two were vacationing in the Bahamas. "Gods timing really is literally perfect, we got engaged on the seventh day of the seventh month, the number seven is the number of spiritual perfection, it’s true GOOGLE IT!" he exclaimed. "Isn’t that nuts?" "By the way I didn't plan that," he added. "Anyways, my goodness does [it] feel good to have our future secured! WERE GONNA [BE] BETTER AT 70 BABY HERE WE GO! 'He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains FAVOR from the Lord!' This is the year of favor!!!!" Minutes later, Baldwin also confirmed the exciting news via Twitter, writing, "Not sure what I did in life to deserve such happiness but I am so utterly grateful to God for giving me such an incredible person to share my life with!" "No words could ever express my gratitude," she added, including a heart emoji. Shortly after, longtime manager Scooter Braun jokingly seemed to take credit for their love connection when he posted a photo of the sheet music for the song "Matchmaker," from the musical Fiddler on the Roof. "What a beautiful song. #igotjokes #theinternetiscrazy #imonvacation #muchlove," Braun wrote in the caption. Bieber and Baldwin first met in 2009 (as documented in a video that recently resurfaced online) and briefly dated from 2015-2016. Rumors that the two rekindled their romance began in June 2018, when the two were spotted getting flirty in Miami. Since then, they haven't been shy about packing on the PDA. Hear more on their whirlwind romance (and Bieber's proposal!) in the video below.
