Justin Bieber has confirmed his engagement to Hailey Baldwin after weeks of dating.
It was reported on the weekend that the popstar, 24, popped the question to the 21-year-old supermodel at a restaurant in the Bahamas.
Now, Bieber has confirmed the news, sharing a black-and-white picture of the pair that shows a diamond ring on Baldwin’s left hand.
Writing to his 100 million followers on Instagram, the Canadian said: “Was gonna wait a while to say anything but word travels fast, listen plain and simple Hailey I am soooo in love with everything about you! So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of you loving you patiently and kindLY.”
Bieber went on to thank God before adding that he was “excited” his younger siblings would get to see a “healthy stable marriage and look for the same”.
Within minutes of being posted, the picture and its accompanying message had more than a million likes.
Bieber added: “Gods timing really is literally perfect, we got engaged on the seventh day of the seventh month, the number seven is the number of spiritual perfection, it’s true GOOGLE IT! Isn’t that nuts? By the way I didn’t plan that, anyways My goodness does feel good to have our future secured!”
An American gossip website first broke news of the engagement on the weekend, reporting Bieber’s security team told onlookers at the restaurant to put their phones away before the popstar got down in one knee in front of diners.
Baldwin, also a Canadian, is the daughter of the actor Stephen Baldwin and the niece of Alec Baldwin.
Bieber is said to have previously dated Baldwin in between seeing pop star Selena Gomez.
