Justin Bieber Confirms He’s ‘Super Single,’ Rips Rumors He’s Dating Hailey Baldwin
Up until now, Justin Bieber hasn’t addressed mounting speculation that he is dating Hailey Baldwin.
The rumor mill first sparked after the longtime pals spent time together after Thanksgiving, then went nuts after Hollywood Life led the charge with increasingly fevered headlines and stories, after the two hung out this past weekend.
Evidently not amused by the chatter, Justin took to Instagram on Monday to post a black and white pic of himself with Hailey.
The 20-year-old’s caption reads, “People are crazy. I’m super single and this is my good friend u would know otherwise.”
The newly-bleached blonde singer was seen smiling as he sat in the back seat of a car with the 18-year-old model.
A copy of “Occupy All Streets” — a book about exampling Christianity in daily life, which was written by mutual pal, Hillsong NYC Church’s pastor Carl Lentz — rested between the pair.
Shortly after the Biebs’ post, Hailey tweeted, “hope that clarifies everything for everyone) rumors are silly!”
Justin’s statement on the rumors comes after he and Hailey appeared to double-date with mutual pals Kendall Jenner and Chris Brown at a Washington nightclub on Sunday.
Brown reportedly played a show at Tacoma Dome in Washington that same night, which the group went to. Social media pics were posted by the famous friends to their individual Instagram accounts.
Kendall, 19, and Hailey are pictured in pouty poses in a red-lit, graffiti-daubed corridor while wearing crop tops, baggy pants, and leather jackets.
The Biebs also shared a snap of him jokingly grabbing Chris’ neck as if “strangling” his buddy. The two are seen in a similar surround to the girls.
Earlier on Sunday, Justin and Hailey attended a service at The City Church in Seattle, with pastor Judah Smith, before later meeting Kendall and Chris.
On Saturday, fans spotted the blonde pals hiking in Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles, then later at a recording studio.
Justin wore gold and blue basketball shorts and went shirtless on their hike. Hailey wore a mostly black sports crop top and cut-off, gray sweatpants.
The day before, they were seen at a bar in West Hollywood and at a recording studio late Thursday, the same night Hailey arrived in L.A. after returning from New York.
It’s probable Justin’s decision to speak out was prompted by a spectacularly rude tweet by paparazzi outlet X17Online, which called Kendall and Hailey “hoes” and alleged the group of pals took drugs at the club.
This is despite recent reports that Bieber has quit marijuana, and Brown’s ongoing random drug tests while he is still on probation, which he has — so far — reportedly passed.

Kendall’s younger sister, Kylie, 17, reacted angrily to the tweet, replying,

X17’s response speaks for itself.

In recent days, it had been rumored Kendall is dating Brown, after the messy ending of his relationship with Karrueche Tran. That claim may or may not be true.
Back in December, Hailey first denied the Bieber-dating rumors with E! News, saying,
“I’ve known him since I was so young — since I was like 13 — and we’ve just been good friends over the years.”
She added, “We have just stayed close and there’s nothing more to it than that.”
Not surprisingly, Hollywood Life is claiming Justin is “denying his romance” with Hailey as a “boyfriend move,” and says the pair were intimately affectionate during their night out at the State Social House bar and eatery earlier this week.
Naturally, the story is an “exclusive.”
