Watch Newly Engaged Couple Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin Meet for the First Time Back in 2009
Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin may have gotten engaged only a few weeks after reigniting their romance, but the couple actually goes way back.
Fans dug up a video from 2009, which features the pair seemingly meeting for the first time. Hailey’s father, actor Stephen Baldwin, does most of the talking during the interaction, and introduces the singer to his daughter. Bieber (who does one of his signature hair flips at the start of the clip) gives a smile as Hailey uncrosses her arms to shake his hand, before immediately crossing them again.
“We’ve been enjoying your music,” Stephen tells the pop star.
Evidence of the couple’s — who previously dated in 2015 before calling it quits the next year — first interaction was actually brought to Bieber’s attention before, when a fan tweeted a Vine clip of the footage in 2016. The star shared the post with the caption, “Haha. Amazing.”

As TMZ first reported, Bieber, 24, popped the question to Baldwin, 21, on Saturday night over dinner in the Bahamas.
“It’s kind of a surprise, but kind of not. Justin has been extremely happy these past few weeks,” a source told PEOPLE. “He has known Hailey for a long time. This might seem sudden, but they know each other very well.”
Locals spotted Bieber and Baldwin dancing at a restaurant on Friday, and the next day the couple was seen packing on the PDA.
