Hailey Baldwin denies reports she and Justin Bieber got hitched: 'I'm not married yet!'
Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Bieber? Not so fast! After outlets including People, E! News, and Us Weekly claimed Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin tied the knot Thursday at a courthouse in New York City, the model is denying the reports.
I understand where the speculation is coming from, but I’m not married yet!

The couple, who only got engaged in July, were photographed entering the courthouse yesterday afternoon with Baldwin wearing white. An eyewitness told TMZ that Bieber, 24, was crying and at one point said to his fiancée, “I can’t wait to marry you, baby.” He also purportedly thanked a court official for “keeping it on the DL.” There were conflicting reports about whether the “Sorry” singer and the 22-year-old model legally wed and it looked as if they did — especially after Bieber’s mother, Pattie Mallette, seemingly offered up her congratulations on Twitter.
Love is unconditional.

“They went ahead and did it without listening to anyone,” a source close to the couple claimed to People. The insider added that the pair will have a religious ceremony and celebration with family and friends soon: “They’re going to have a big blowout, in front of God and everyone they love.”
TMZ reported a wedding is happening “soon,” potentially as early as next week in the singer’s home country of Canada. Bieber recently purchased a huge estate in Ontario, which could be a venue for the nuptials.
Baldwin recently spoke to the Cut about her special day. “I just picture lights strung everywhere,” she said. “I think having it in the woods would be so beautiful.” The model added that the ceremony would likely take place on the West Coast, perhaps in an attempt to throw off the media, and that she already had a wedding planner and wedding gown designer picked out.
“My sister will be my bridesmaid,” she smiled. “I was hers last year. And maybe Justin’s little sister as a flower girl. Is 10 too old?”
Baldwin also brushed off commentary that she’s too young to get married. “My sister was 24 when she got married, and my parents also got married when they were young too. I see no reason to wait. When you know it’s right, it’s right.”
She added, “I said to [my parents], ‘You’d stop me if you didn’t think this was the right decision, right?’ And they didn’t. I think they love him more than me!”
Bieber and Baldwin rekindled their romance for the second time in May, shortly after his split with Selena Gomez. The engagement shocked fans — and his ex-girlfriend — since it was soon after Bieber and Gomez’s breakup. However, the singer made it clear that Baldwin is “the one.”
