After months of speculation over their blossoming romance, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez confirm their relationship at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Hailey tells the world she's a big fan of Justin and Selena's relationship, tweeting: "I don't care what anyone says but Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez together is the definition of a teenage dream! #word."

After spotted out together on a number of occasions, the relationship rumours come in think and fast. In December 2014, both Hailey and Justin maintain they're just friends.In an interview with E! News, Hailey explains: "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."A few days later, Justin addresses the matter on his Instagram. He shares a pic with Hailey and writes: "People are crazy. I'm super single and this is my good friend u would know otherwise [sic]".

After seeing in the New Year together, Justin and Hailey are also spotted partying together at a Clippers game on 15th January. They look very cosy in a snap shared by mutual friend Kendall Jenner.

Justin and Hailey decide to get matching G tattoos as a tribute to Georgia Veach - a young girl who attends their church and suffers from Lissencephaly.

Despite seemingly re-kindling his on/off relationship with Selena Gomez in December 2015, by January 2016 it was apparently off again. Justin took Hailey on his family holiday to Anguilla, seeing the New Year in together again.

Justin confirms his romance with Hailey, posting a picture of them kissing on holiday.

"He's about to go on tour," Hailey tells E! in Feb 2016."We are not an exclusive couple. Relationships at this age are already complicated, but I don't really like to talk about it because it's between me and him."In the same month, Justin told GQ magazine: "What if Hailey ends up being the girl I'm gonna marry, right? If I rush into anything, if I damage her, then it's always gonna be damaged. It's really hard to fix wounds like that. It's so hard... I just don't want to hurt her."

A lot can change in six months. By August 2016 Justin has unfollowed Hailey, gone Insta official with Sofia Richie and SERIOUSLY upset Selena Gomez. After Biebs threatened to make his Insta private following the abuse Sofia had received due to the flurry of couple photos Justin had posted, Selena hit back. She wrote: you can't handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol - it should be special between you two only. Don't be mad at your fans. They love you and supported you before any one ever did." Justin then deleted his Instagram.

After getting back with Selena in late 2017 and then splitting again around March 2018, speculation increases around that Justin and Hailey's rekindled romance. A video surfaces of the pair having a snog in New York City in June.In an interview with GQ, Justin hints Hailey is 'the one'.

Justin reportedly proposed to Hailey at a restaurant whilst the couple were on holiday in the Bahamas on 7th July 2018. Fans apparently witnessed the moment, but Justin's "people" reportedly told them not to film it.
