Bieber’s shock wedding
The bride wore sneakers
They’ve only been back together for four months, but on-off lovers Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin refused to sign a prenup before tying the knot.
Marrying at a New York courthouse, the WhatDoYou
Mean? singer’s family are terrified the model could fleece him if they split!
“They think Justin is being naïve,” reports a Bieber insider. “They hope that he and Hailey work out, but at the same time, they want to protect his assets. But he’s told them he believes marriage is for life and divorce isn’t an option.”
Justin, 24, is worth an estimated $400 million, while Hailey, 21, has almost $3 million in the bank, so his management pushed for a prenup. But a well-placed source tells us, “He says he can’t imagine ever divorcing Hailey, so why would he need one?”
Justin wore a baggy striped shirt, while his bride wore a short white dress and sneakers to make things legal at NYC’s City Hall. A witness reports, “They cut an entire line of people who were waiting and met with a clerk privately in a
back room. Hailey was glowing. Justin had his hand wrapped tightly around hers.”
The model later denied they’d wed, but multiple sources, including uncle Alec Baldwin, confirm the marriage is legit and she’s since deleted her tweet. Apparently, she simply doesn’t see herself as Justin’s wife because they haven’t had a religious blessing yet.
Rumour has it the official ceremony will take place either in a Big Apple chapel or a forest in his native Canada. Our source says, “When they exchange vows next, they want a private wedding without scrutiny. They want it to be just friends and family.”
Hailey has previously stated of her dream wedding, “I just picture lights strung everywhere. Having it in the woods would be so beautiful.”
The happy newlyweds – who are believed to have vowed to abstain from sex until after marriage – have been honeymooning in the UK. Justin was bizarrely seen busking outside Buckingham Palace, serenading his new wife with acoustic versions of his song “Cold Water” and Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car”. Pointing to Hailey, he told the adoring crowd, “That girl right there is the love of my life.”
The next step for the lovebirds is starting a family, with Justin recently buying them a $7.5 million, 40ha lakefront mansion in Ontario that his relatives say would be perfect for raising children. “Justin is amazing with kids and can’t wait to be a dad,” reports the insider.
Meanwhile, Hailey’s uncle Alec, who has been married twice, has offered the newlyweds some advice, saying, “People who get married young – and they are very young – I want them to spend time with each other. He has this crazy superstar career. If you want to have a successful marriage, you have to be together.”
