The Hollywood romance rumor mill has been churning like crazy over the wild, over-the-top PDA between Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin lately, leaving many to believe that they're in a relationship. Bieber has been linked to a bevy of ladies in the past few years, and it's easy to understand why: He's a global pop superstar, and he's in the prime of his life — of course he's going to go out and have fun. But for some reason, his rumored relationship with Stephen Baldwin's daughter is the one driving everyone crazy. It's actually not that surprising that these two are hanging out, given that they've known each other since 2009!
Yep, back when Bieber's career was just beginning to blossom, he was introduced to Baldwin at an event and the unearthed clip from the first meeting is hilarious. Baldwin's dad introduced the young teen to the burgeoning superstar, and they had a sufficiently awkward pubescent meeting of the ages. The Biebs did his signature hair flip, and Baldwin didn't seem super enthralled by any of it. It's unclear where the meeting took place, or if the duo hung out after their initial introduction, but it definitely makes for a LOL-worthy video.
They were also photographed together two years later, at the premiere for Bieber's movie Never Say Never. Dear old dad made sure there was no funny business, though:
While it's true they didn't have much by way of chemistry back in 2009 or 2011 (hey, how cool were you as a teenager? Probably not very!), they're grown up now and turning up the heat all over Anguilla. Check out some of their sexiest Instagram snaps:
