Hailey and Justin Bieber have been together (in their current, married era) since mid-2018, so it has been a little over 7 years as of early 2026.

Quick Scoop

  • They first met as kids around 2009, when Hailey was introduced to Justin backstage at one of his early appearances, but they were just acquaintances/friends for years.
  • Rumors that they were more than friends started around late 2014–2015, when they were frequently seen together at church events and on vacations.
  • They had a short “situationship”/fling in late 2015–early 2016, then stopped talking for almost two years and went their separate ways.
  • They reconnected in June 2018, quickly started dating again, and got engaged on July 7, 2018, during a trip to the Bahamas.
  • They married in 2018 (courthouse ceremony, then a bigger celebration later), and have been publicly a couple ever since, which is why people often say they’ve been “together” about 7 years even though they’ve known each other much longer.
