Amid endless rumors about their blossoming relationship ever since Justin Bieber parted ways with Selena Gomez last year, Hailey Baldwin denies that she and the 20-year-old singer are a couple.
While she admits to be spending a lot of time together with Justin, the up-and-coming 18-year-old model says she’s just doing it because she wants to be a supportive friend to the singer, points out Yahoo! Entertainment.
In a recent interview with E! News, Hailey explained that she and Justin are just good friends. She says that she has known the singer for quite some time when she was still 13 years old.
Hailey explained that she’s also helping Justin shed his bad boy image and that the singer is just going through a phase in his life where he’s transforming into something really positive which means he needs good people around him at this point in time.
Being a good friend
The model added that she’s being a good friend to Justin so she is just being there for him to support him. Hailey also says that Justin thinks that she is giving him positive influence and that makes her feel good as a friend.
She also does not blame anybody for speculations that she and Justin are dating, saying that any female who becomes part of the singer’s inner circle or close friends would likely be branded as Justin’s girlfriend.
The daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin says that she is nothing more than a positive influence in Justin’s life as he strives to put his bad boy reputation behind him.
She also denies being the rebound girl of Justin Bieber after he and Selena Gomez broke up for good late last year. Hailey said that she is still a good friend to Selena.
Together in an event
On February 12, Justin and Hailey were among the star-studded guests who attended the New York Fashion Week show of rapper Kanye West titled “Yeezy Supply” held in Manhattan Flatiron District, where Kim Kardashian’s husband also launched his collaboration with Adidas.
Justin and Hailey made sure that they won’t be photographed together so they seated far apart.
Hailey seated at the front row as she joined best friend Kendall Jenner, who was in the event alongside stepsisters Khloe and Kim Kardashian and niece North West.
Kendall, just like the Kardashians, was obviously supporting the event of his brother-in-law Kanye and also her younger sister Kylie, who also walked the ramp during the fashion show.
For his part, Justin was relegated to the second row despite his efforts of trying to impress women by sporting his high new hairdo and wearing a “Thriller” red leather jacket.
Justin will be turning 21 in two weeks time so while Selena Gomez has found a new beau in DJ Zedd, if what Hailey Baldwin is saying is true, the male pop star has yet to found a replacement for Selena in his heart.
