After news broke over the weekend that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin were reportedly engaged, fans all over the world went wild for the potential union. Hailey's father, Stephen Baldwin, posted a now-deleted tweet which seemed to suggest that it had happened, and fans on holiday in Barbados reported that they'd seen the proposal.

Justin's father, Jeremy Bieber, also alluded to some big news with an emotional post on Instagram about his son.

Despite neither Hailey or Justin addressing the rumours for the first few days, they've now both CONFIRMED the engagement using Instagram.

Justin, who was first linked to Hailey back in 2011, posted two beautiful photos of the two of them together, writing a lengthy caption to explain his thoughts behind popping the question.

'I promise to lead our family with honor and integrity letting Jesus through his Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do and every decision we make. My heart is COMPLETELY and FULLY YOURS and I will ALWAYS put you first!

'You are the love of my life Hailey Baldwin and I wouldn’t want to spend it with anybody else. You make me so much better and we compliment each other so well!! Can’t wait for the best season of life yet!. It’s funny because now with you everything seems to make sense!'

He continued, 'The thing I am most excited for is that my little brother and sister get to see another healthy stable marriage and look for the same!!! Gods timing really is literally perfect, we got engaged on the seventh day of the seventh month, the number seven is the number of spiritual perfection, it’s true GOOGLE IT! Isn’t that nuts? By the way I didn’t plan that, anyways.

'My goodness does feel good to have our future secured! WERE GONNA BE BETTER AT 70 BABY HERE WE GO! 'He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains FAVOR from the Lord!' This is the year of favor!!!!' sic

Hailey also appeared to confirm the engagement, posting a selfie in the mirror and showing off a VERY big rock on her ring finger - but has since deleted it.

However, she did post a heartfelt tweet, leading many to believe that was her way of confirming the happy news. She wrote, 'Not sure what I did in life to deserve such happiness but I am so utterly grateful to God for giving me such an incredible person to share my life with! No words could ever express my gratitude. ❤️'

This comes after Justin's friend Ariana Grande hit back at critics of Justin's seemingly quick engagement on Twitter, after she herself faced backlash for becoming engaged to her boyfriend Pete Davidson after a few weeks of dating.
