Has Justin Bieber’s relationship with Hailey Baldwin moved from friendship to romance?
Are they dating?
After spending lot of time together in recent weeks, and amid gossip site-generated dating rumors, the 18-year-old model was allegedly spotted with her legs wrapped around Justin during a late meet at a recording studio in Beverly Hills in Lo Angeles on Tuesday.
The pair are said to have spent the day together before their studio visit .
Although Hailey and Justin have been pals since 2008, it was thought the model has been giving the Canadian emotional support following his October split from his on-off girlfriend, Selena Gomez .

Hailey allegedly “jumped into” Justin’s arms as they hugged at the studio. The “possible” couple were photographed through a glass doorway while a friend walked close by.
According to reports, Justin and Hailey — who is the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin — were seen at various spots in the morning before the pair lunched at Spago, the celebrity favorite eatery in Beverly Hills run by chef Wolfgang Puck.
On Monday, the Biebs and the pretty blonde were seen at Target in Los Angeles, before reportedly spending over two and half hours at the Family Amusement Corporation, where they played games at the arcade .
The pals were accompanied by the Canadian’s old friend and past “swagger coach” Ryan Good and Hillsong speaker, Joe Termini.
In pics, Justin is seen sipping from a Starbucks cup and chowing down on a snack, while Hailey strolled a short distance behind with Ryan.
Later, Hailey, Justin, Joe and others went to the Los Angeles Clippers game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, during and after which the trio posted several photos on their social media accounts.
Hailey and Justin , who share another mutual pal in Pastor Carl Lentz of the famed Hillsong NYC church, were seen by multiple eyewitnesses at the Hillsong Los Angeles church on November 30 with Good and Termini.
Before the “Confident” singer returned to L.A. on Saturday (Nov. 29), with Hailey and Joe, the trio hung out in New York over the Thanksgiving break, when Justin spent a few days with Lentz and his old pal, videographer Alfredo Flores.
The day after Thanksgiving, Joe and Hailey were seen goofing around playing ice-hockey in Central Park.
The model posted an Instagram pic of their Friday tomfoolery, captioning it,
“@joetermini finally scored a goal.”
On Saturday, Justin shared a snap of the group in the back of a car hamming it up for the shot.
“Nyc with the clown posse,” the singer wrote alongside his post.
On Saturday, Hailey and Justin were spotted shopping in New York and dining at the Sant Ambroeus restaurant.
Previously, the 20-year-old star was seen celebrating Hailey’s 18th birthday at a joint bash in L.A. on November 21 with the R&B singer Khalil, which Kendall and Kylie Jenner also attended.
In a pic posted after the party, Justin is seen presenting Hailey with a chocolate cake.
A possibly dubious source from HollywoodLife.com recently noted,
“Justin has a new muse and it’s Hailey. She’s really fun, feisty, and could care less about Justin’s fame and fortune. Hailey’s birthday was on November 22 so when she got to New York, Justin made sure to spoil her and treat her like a princess.”
The website added, “He totally took care of her and took her shopping. He’s definitely on the rebound from Selena.”
However, the alleged insider also said Hailey was being “cautious,” and that she “doesn’t want to just be another girl on Justin’s list. Right now, she’s treating this relationship as a friendship.”
So, has that all gone out of the window? Or is Hailey’s alleged leg wrap around Justin just hijinks between pals?
As one might expect, messages from fans at Hailey’s Instagram page since the studio pics surfaced don’t make for pretty reading.
“Give back Justin to Selena,” one commenter wrote to the model, under a pic.
It seems some are taking the possible final nail in Jelena’s demise especially hard.
“Yung jb in the game,” Hailey wrote by a pic of the Biebs some time before their trip to the Staples Center on December 1.
