engaged to model Hailey Baldwin
Trouble-prone pop star Justin Bieber will be a married man after popping the question to model Hailey Baldwin whom he has dated for one month, reports said on Sunday.
The 24-year-old Canadian heartthrob, who has become better known for his offstage antics, proposed to the 21-year-old over dinner Saturday night at a restaurant in The Bahamas, the celebrity news site TMZ said.
The site quoted witnesses at the restaurant, who said that Bieber’s security team asked them all to put their phones away for the proposal.
A representative for Bieber did not comment but relatives of the couple suggested that the news was true.
“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 neighbor’s house in Los Angeles.
constantly give each other a boost. Julia shares how she guides Joshua when it comes to opening himself up.
“Sa acting part I never…wala akong input. Hindi ako nangingialam sa acting ng kahit sino. But as to how to deal with stuff like this [press conference], people, bashers, criticism…not really tinuturo. I guide him. Pag may complaint siya, I remind him, I motivate him, basta nandoon ako always,” she shares.
Joshua explains that he’s reserved and quiet, and that Julia tries to bring him out of his shell. “Hindi ako makausap, hindi ako maganon. Parang pag may gathering ng mga artista, nasa sulok lang ako, nakakasama ko sila pero tahimik lang ako. Ginaguide niya ako na mag socialize.”
“Not just in gatherings,” Julia butts in. “In our industry kasi malalagay ka with people in the business, industry, the press. It’s important to be able to communicate and to socialize with others.”
“I believe communication is one of the best factors in having growth and maturity – when you’re able to converse with people. He’s [Joshua] so afraid so I tell him you have to learn. Learn insights ng ibang tao on certain things, say something, get to know someone,” the media-savvy Barretto urges.
Julia quips how, when she first met Joshua, he was shy, and only saw him as someone she was going to work with. But soon enough, even she changed her mind.
“Wala pa naman akong nafeel nung first meeting namin,” Julia says. “Walang feelings. He was just somebody na I was going to be working with. Mahiyain, so kinulit-kulit ko and nagtagaltagal din,” she recalls.
“Dun ko siya nakilala – how good a person he is, how good his heart is. Siyempre nag-grow. From nothing to everything.”
