Justin Bieber is one of the most famous pop musicians in history. He’s also one of the most controversial, with a reputation for bad behavior and bad press that once threatened to destroy him. But now, with marriage and God on his side, the “Baby” singer is putting his life back together, one positive and deliberate choice at a time.
The Biebers
In September 2018, Bieber married Hailey Baldwin, a model he’d been dating for two years. The couple exchanged vows in a New York City courthouse before hosting a larger ceremony at the Montage Palmetto Bluff resort in South Carolina, People reported.
The Canadian-born superstar, born in 1995, has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide. He’s been a part of a number of hit songs, including “What Do You Mean?”, “Sorry,” “Love Yourself,” “Despacito” with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, “Stay” with The Kid Laroi, and “Peaches.”
He’s also received numerous awards and honors, most recently a pair of Grammys in 2021 for his collaborations in dance Music with the duo Jack U (Skrillex and Diplo) and in country Music with Dan+Shay. He’s also highlighted social injustice around the globe, visiting hospitalized children and soldiers in active duty.
Bieber’s career took off after Scooter Braun, a talent manager who had discovered his music on YouTube, saw videos of him performing in an empty theater. Braun arranged for Bieber to have a recording contract with Sony Music, which soon led to international tours and a huge following.
Over the years, he’s been involved in several high-profile relationships with models and singers such as Selena Gomez, Jasmine V, Hailey Baldwin, Sofia Richie, and Chantel Jeffries. The on-and-off romance with Gomez spanned more than seven years before the pair ultimately broke up for good in 2019.
As well as his own merch, concerts, and music, the singer is behind the Drew House clothing line that he launched with friend/stylist Ryan Good and designer Gianpiero D’Alessandro. His 2021 GQ shoot featured him decked out in clothes and accessories with jaw-dropping price tags, including a $46,200 Cartier bracelet.
Despite his enormous fame and wealth, Bieber is working to give something back, especially to younger artists. There’s a moment in the documentary Billie Eilish Is Here that shows him meeting the young musician for the first time at Coachella. It’s clear that Bieber wants to be the solid person for Eilish that he wish he had been for himself.
