Justin Bieber is 21. The birthday boy, now man, officially came of age on Sunday on a private island near Grenada in the Caribbean.

The superstar celebrated his milestone with companions including, former flame Yovanna Ventura, Topshop model pal Hailey Baldwin, budding director Ryan Butler, videographer Alfredo Flores, producers Soundz and Maejor Ali, Lil Za, and viner Matthew Espinosa.

Dominican model Yovanna, 18, is the only surprise in that group. The curvy brunette was previously spotted with the Biebs last March, then on and off until August, and is rumored to have had a relationship with the singer during that time.

Before Justin and his pals shared social media posts which revealed Yovanna’s presence, fans trended #JustinIs21 and #21ReasonsToLoveJustin before midnight. Come the magic hour in the U.S., Beliebers sent #HappyBirthdayJustinBieber soaring to the top of Twitter’s trending topics, where it remains at press time.

Nostalgic sentiment was high among fans, all of whom expressed messages of admiration and love for their idol, alongside “fetus” and other throwback images such as below.

Justin shared a slew of excited sounding messages on the social network, writing, “Almost 21” just before his ringing in his birthday. In another tweet, he wrote, “Grateful to be alive!!! Love u!!! 21,” with his last tweet of the night reading, “I love everybody! #21.”

The singer also posted a slew of snaps to his Shots account and a video to his Fahlo page of the moment he turned 21. The clip revealed the shirtless star holding what looked like a bottle of champagne, dancing to 50 Cent’s classic “In Da Club,” while well-wishers waved sparklers outside.

“Happy birthday to me!!!! I’m 21!!!” Justin wrote by the clip.

Just about everyone invited to Justin’s private island birthday celebration posted social media, including Yovanna and Hailey.

The daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin shared a picture on Instagram of herself with her arms wrapped around the Biebs, which she captioned, “21 #21 #onlybecauseyoure21.?

Certain gossip sites previously attempted to manufacture a romance between Justin and Hailey when they were seen hanging out together a lot, but the pair denied any romantic involvement.

The morning after the festivities, Hailey posted a tweet which revealed she slept alone and was impatient for friends to wake up.

Meanwhile, Yovanna posted a photo from the party, showing her beaming as a shirtless Justin looks at her while holding her leg.

The 19-year-old captioned the intimate photo, “Happy birthday!!”

The beautiful model was seen giving Justin a peck on his cheek in another picture which he posted to his Shots account, which suggests the two are back on.

While Bieber’s mostly young and notoriously judgmental fans are currently ranting online over the crooner’s decision to invite Yovanna to his own 21st birthday bash, notably Hailey and Yovanna posed happily for pics and appear to be friendly with each other.

In addition to the flood of congratulations from fans and those at the party, Bieber’s record company Def Jam Records, Team Bieber, Believe tour dancers, Calvin Klein, and others who have worked with the heartthrob over the years, also did the same.

Of these, manager Scooter Braun, mentor Usher, and Bieber’s mom Pattie Mallette, were among the more poignant.

Braun Instagrammed a photo, noting, “Where did the time go? Happy birthday my guy. Big 21. I don’t remember mine. Haha. Have fun. Proud of u @justinbieber.”

Usher upgraded advice he once gave Justin (“You won’t be 16 forever”), and wrote,

“@justinbieber “You won’t be 21 forever” #happybirthday #LEGAL #21 #havefun #timeflies #foreveryoung,” adding #dontremembermineseitherscooter,” #Livethisyearlikeitsyourlast21 #becauseitis Onward and upward yungin!! #BiggerThan21.”

Justin’s 21st birthday celebrations may well be continuing right up until his blowout bash at the Omnia Nightclub at the famed Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, just hours after he faces a lineup of comedians which could soon include Seth Rogen at the Los Angeles taping of his Comedy Central Roast on March 14.

Happy Birthday Justin Bieber.

The team at the Shots app Bieber invested in put together a video for the singer’s birthday, while Braun and the artist fooled around days earlier.
