Justin Bieber rekindles romance with model Hailey Baldwin

JUSTIN Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are reportedly back on after the two posted loved up photos on Instagram over the weekend.

In recent weeks the couple, who split in 2015, have been seen partying in Los Angeles and New York.

Pictures posted by TMZ showed Bieber, 24, and Baldwin, 21, with their arms wrapped around each other as they kiss while leaning against a railing overlooking the East River from Brooklyn.

The two later headed to Manhattan’s Rockefeller Park where they reportedly showed some serious PDA on a park bench.

A friend of the couple’s, Jennifer Stephan, posted a pic to Instagram of the two hugging, which has since been deleted.

Bieber also posted a picture of him smiling with a fan. In the pic, he can be seen kneeling down with a smile on his face, meanwhile, Baldwin stands nearby where her floral dress and white sneakers can be seen.

Last month in an interview with The Times, Baldwin opened up about Bieber, saying the pair were now on speaking terms after a long period of “weirdness”.

“Justin and I were friends for a long time,” Baldwin said.

“I met him when I was really young and he was one of my best friends. Everybody knows that at a certain point in time that turned into something else, but that just happens when you’re 18, 19. It was what it was,” she explained, adding that after their relationship status changed “we went through a long period of time when we weren’t friends.”

The couple were in an on-off relationship for a number of years but ended things for good in 2015.

“We didn’t speak for quite some time and there was a lot of weirdness that went on, but we’ve moved past that.”

Baldwin went on to tell The Times that being a part of a high-profile relationship was odd.

“But it brought both of us to the realisation that we just work much better as friends,” she added. “He’s somebody I really cherish. Now it’s a very mature situation. It’s good.”
