The story didn’t end there as the pair reportedly broke up later that year and the Biebs moved on to date the teen model, Sofia Richie, aka the daughter of the singer, Lionel Richie.
Talk about teen drama.
However, this didn’t last as the pair were spotted again in Miami and New York City. The close proximity they were, and the familiarity shown in an Instagram fan page for Baldwin.
The relationship continued to develop since then, culminating in him reportedly popping the question on the 7th of July.
The multi-award-winning singer posted about it saying that he and his future wife complemented each other really well.
Baldwin also excitedly posted on her own Twitter after Bieber made his post, confirming the engagement.
