For months, the public has speculated on the relationship status of Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin. Did the singer and the model already secretly married? With a name change on Instagram - where she is now called Bieber - heated the 22-year-old the rumors. An official confirmation of the pair has been missing so far. But for Bieber's mother, Hailey Baldwin certainly belongs to the family.

This showed Pattie Mallette with a greeting for the model's birthday on Twitter. There, the 43-year-old wrote: "I'm so thankful to have you as a daughter."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY @haileybaldwin !! ICH LIEBE DICH!! I'm SO # THANKFUL to have you as a daughter !!! ❤️ ♥ ️

Incidentally, Baldwin is not the only one who fueled the rumors of an already celebrated wedding. Justin Bieber also became more precise on Instagram. "My wife is great," he wrote under a photo that shows the 24-year-old and the model hand in hand.

In the summer, the singer had announced his engagement with Baldwin on Instagram. A few weeks later, the model's uncle, actor Alec Baldwin, confirmed the couple's wedding. "Well, they went off and got married and I do not know what the problem is," he told reporters at the Emmy Awards. The couple also did not respond to these statements at the time.
