Steve Baldwin brought his daughter to the New York City premiere of "Never Say Never" in 2011.

"I was never a superfan, of him or of anyone," Baldwin later explained in an interview with Vogue . "It was never that crazed, screaming thing. I didn't think about it in any kind of way except for the fact that he was cute. Everybody had a crush on him. But for the first few years we had a weird age gap."

November 2014: Bieber and Baldwin went to church together.

In November 2014, Bieber and Baldwin were spotted together at Hillsong church (with Kendall Jenner ), which sparked speculation that they were dating. Around the same time, Bieber had broken up with his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Selena Gomez . This was not Bieber and Gomez's first breakup, and it wouldn't be their last.

December 2014: Bieber and Baldwin fended off dating rumors.

After being seen together at church, Bieber and Baldwin denied any romantic involvement. In an interview with E! News, Baldwin said, "I've known [Bieber] since I was so young since I was like 13 and we've just been good friends over the years . We have just stayed close and there's nothing more to it than that."

Bieber voiced a similar sentiment on Instagram when he shared a photo of he and Baldwin captioned, "People are crazy. I'm super single and this is my good friend u would know otherwise."

Bieber and Baldwin kinda-sorta confirmed their relationship in separate interviews after ringing in 2016 together. In an interview with GQ,Bieber said that Baldwin is someonewho he "really love[s],"but also said that he didn't want to "commit" to anything .

Baldwin also confirmed that she and Bieber were dating, but not official, around the same time.

" We are not an exclusive couple . He's about to go on tour," she told E! News. "Relationships at this age are already complicated, but I don't really like to talk about it because it's between me and him."

Clearly, both Bieber and Baldwin tried to avoid saying that they were officially dating. But Bieber also hinted that he might like to marry Baldwin one day , saying, "I know that in the past I've hurt people and said things that I didn't mean to make them happy in the moment. So now I'm just more so looking at the future, making sure I'm not damaging them. What if Hailey ends up being the girl I'm gonna marry, right?"

Right.

Sometime between February and August 2016, the two fell out.

Baldwin later told Vogue that, while she understood their relationship was not serious or exclusive, things ended very badly between them.

"Negative things happened that we still need to talk about and work through," she said in an interview published January 2019.

"'Fizzled' would not be the right word it was more like a very dramatic excommunication. There was a period where if I walked into a room, he would walk out."

August 2016: Bieber started dating Sofia Richie.

Whatever had been going on between Bieber and Baldwin in early 2016 was over by August of that year, when Bieber unfollowed Baldwin on Instagram and started dating Sofia Richie .

June 2018: Bieber and Baldwin reconnected.

According to the couple's interview with Vogue , they finally reclaimed their relationship when they both attended a conference in Miami hosted by pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr.

June 2018: They became the king and queen of PDA.
