Pop star Justin Bieber didn’t take too long to confirm the news of his engagement following reports of his engagement to model Hailey Baldwin emerged Sunday.
In an Instagram post, the 24-year-old Canadian heartthrob, who has become better known for his off-stage antics, confirmed that he “completely committed to spending his life” with the 21-year-old model.
“Was gonna wait a while to say anything but word travels fast, listen, plain and simple Hailey I am so 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 honour and integrity letting Jesus through his Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do and every decision we make,” Beiber wrote.
He continued, “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!”
“It’s funny because now with you everything seems to make sense! The thing I am most excited for is that my little brother and sister get to see another healthy stable marriage and look for the same! God’s 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! Isn’t that nuts? By the way, I didn’t plan that anyways My goodness does feel good to have our future secured! WE’RE GONNA BE BETTER AT 70 BABY HERE WE GO!”
“‘He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord!’ This is the year of favour!,” he signed off.
Beiber reportedly proposed to Baldwin over dinner Saturday night at a restaurant in The Bahamas. Witnesses at the restaurant said that Bieber’s security team asked them all to put their phones away for the proposal.
The singer’s parents are overjoyed with the news and expressed their happiness on social media.
“Proud is an understatement! Excited for the next chapter!” the singer’s father Jeremy Bieber wrote on Instagram with a picture of his son.
His mother, Pattie Mallette, simply tweeted: “Love Love Love Love Love Love Love.”
Hailey Baldwin, a model who has taken small acting roles, is the daughter of The Usual Suspects actor Stephen Baldwin and niece of Alec Baldwin, the 30 Rock star and nemesis impersonator of US President Donald Trump. The model’s mother is from Brazil.
Bieber has been romantically linked with many famous young women including fellow pop singer Selena Gomez and model Sofia Richie. He was first seen dating Baldwin a month ago.
Bieber, while remaining a top-selling pop star, became a fixture of tabloids over incidents including racing a car through Miami and throwing eggs at a neighbour’s house in Los Angeles.
He abruptly ended his global tour last year after more than 150 shows, explaining that he was trying to deal with his insecurities.
