Seems like Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are all set to take their relationship a step forward. The 24-year-old singer and the 21-year-old model got engaged recently during a trip to the Bahamas, according to TMZ. A source, speaking on the same, told People magazine, "It's kind of a surprise, but kind of not. Justin has been extremely happy these past few weeks." Adding, "He has known Hailey for a long time. This might seem sudden, but they know each other very well."

Bieber's father, Jeremy Bieber, also teased the fans with a cryptic social media post. "@justinbieber Proud is an understatement! Excited for the next chapter!" he captioned a photo with the younger Bieber at the beach on his Instagram.


The "One Time" hitmaker's mother, Pattie Mallette, tweeted "Love Love Love Love Love Love Love", offering no further explanation


Meanwhile, Stephen Baldwin, father of Hailey, congratulated the two and tweeted, "Sweet smile on my face! me&wife (Kennya) Always pray 4 Gods will !! He is moving in the hearts of JB&HB Let's all pray for His will to be done Love you 2 so much !!! #Godstiming #bestisyettocome Congrats @JeremyBieber @pattiemallette #PraiseJesus."

The initials 'JB' and 'HB' may allude to the engaged couple's names. This tweet, however, was quickly deleted.

In this now-deleted tweet Stephen offered congratulations to the couple and wrote about 'God's will'

Speaking on the proposal, a source told E! Online, "Justin made arrangements for the ring when they were in NYC and knew that he wanted to propose to her. It was a sudden decision but Justin always knew Hailey and him had a special bond that was incomparable."
"The proposal was a very happy moment and Hailey was taken off guard," the source added. "Her face was in shock but you could tell they are both so in love."


The couple first sparked romance rumours three years ago and had been linked together on and off since then.

While Bieber, 24, last dated his on-again, off-again girlfriend singer-actor Selena Gomez, Baldwin, 21, was recently linked with singer Shawn Mendes after the pair attended the Met Gala in New York together in May.
