Hailey Baldwin hangs with some of Hollywood’s hottest stars—she counts fellow models Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner as BFFs—but it’s her relationship with Justin Bieber that recently became the talk of the town. Various websites have reported that the blond buds are secretly dating, so when E! News caught up with Hailey at the Exodus premiere in New York City Sunday, the model cleared up romance rumors.
In the past few weeks, Hailey and Justin spent even more time together, leading many to wonder if they’ve taken their friendship to the next level. Just last week, Hailey and Justin were spotted having lunch at Spago in Beverly Hills and sitting courtside at an L.A. Clippers game.
So, are they dating or not?
“I’ve known him since I was so young—since I was like 13—and we’ve just been good friends over the years,” the 18-year-old explained. “We have just stayed close and there’s nothing more to it than that.”
