Justin Bieber isn’t going to have any more girlfriends; he’s going to have A WIFE. Biebs’ engagement to Hailey Baldwin means the end to his career as a blond heartbreaker (and the end of the line for any #Jelena shippers). To celebrate — or mourn — his upcoming marital status, let’s look back below on the girlfriends and song inspirations that got us here.
Hailey Baldwin (June 2018 — Present)
After hitting the church and club scene in NYC, the pair got hitched in the Bahamas in July. Justin confirmed the engagement on Instagram, writing in the caption, “My heart is COMPLETELY and FULLY YOURS and I will ALWAYS put you first!” They’ve been bopping around the country and were spotted canoodling in Seattle and Georgia. Biebs met the family in July, but they haven’t set a day for the wedding yet, so stay tuned!
Selena Gomez (November 2017 - March 2018)
After going to church together the month before, the newly single Selena and Justin were spotted reuniting for the L.A. bike ride seen around the world (or, at least, the internet). Selena’s mom was apparently HEATED about the reunion to the point that she was voluntarily treated at a L.A. hospital after Selena reportedly let it slip that her and Biebs were in couples therapy together. The family tension is rumored to have caused the couple to break things off again — not that Selena seems to care now.

Paola Paulin (September - October 2017)
Clearly, you better be down with the Big Guy if you want to date this guy. Justin brought actress and model Paola out for a hot church date in September and back again in October (when Hailey was also in attendance). The fling was short-lived, but there’s no drama to report.
Sofia Richie (August - September 2016)
Sofia described their relationship as “special” to Billboard, spilling in a cover story that Justin is “very easy to talk to, and that’s hard to find with people in Los Angeles.” The couple traveled to Japan and and Mexico together, and Justin defended Sofia from some not-so-pleased Beliebers on Instagram.
Nicola Peltz (June 2016)
Summer loving — having a blast. The Transformers actress and Justin reportedly met at an album release party and enjoyed a short but PDA-heavy fling.
Hailey Baldwin (January - August 2016)
Justin and Hailey go all the way back to a too precious fan meet-and-greet video from 2009. Rumors began to fly that they were dating in 2015, and, one year later, the duo celebrated New Year’s as an official couple. Things were hot and heavy, and Bieber pondered in a GQ cover story, ““What if Hailey ends up being the girl I’m gonna marry, right?” What if, Justin. What if.
Kourtney Kardashian (October - December 2015)
Can you imagine if Kourtney and Justin had ended up getting married? We would have literally died. The couple did the L.A. circuit and caught a show at The Nice Guy before a Universal Studios Hollywood date. Biebs joked in an interview that he was “being used,” but the pair never officially confirmed their relationship.
Chantel Jeffries (on and off through January 2014 - February 2017)
A DUI arrest usually isn’t the start of a fairy tale romance, but Justin and Chantel were occasionally spotted at concerts together after that messy night. He posted a zoomed-in photo of her lips in February 2017, but we haven’t heard anything else about the pair since that mildly weird encounter.
Selena Gomez (December 2010 - November 2012)
The beginning of the madness, Selena and Justin apparently first linked up for a pancakes date at an IHOP in 2010. They officially confirmed the relationship one month later on a steamy beach vacation together, and were constantly on each other’s arms at red carpets until they broke it off. Not that the breakup kept them apart. The two were reportedly back together in January 2013 when Justin posted and deleted an Instagram of them. From there, Justin and Selena referenced each other on tracks and in interviews at every turn. Justin’s song, “Friends,” was co-written with Selena’s bestie, Julia Michaels. Sounds pretty pointed to us.
Jasmine Villegas (January - September 2010)
Justin and Jasmine were tour partners in 2010, and she was the recipient of his pet names in the “Baby” music video. Jasmine described their relationship as “puppy love, if you could even call it that” in a 2015 interview. They’re still friends though.
Caitlin Beadles (2008-2009)
Justin met Caitlin at a church in Atlanta, where he moved to study music under Usher. They broke up when Justin went on tour — but there’s no love lost. The pair reunited for Thanksgiving last year, and Caitlin’s brother referred to JB as family on the ‘gram. The 2010 song “Never Let You Go” is supposedly inspired by his relationship with Beadles.
