Hailey Baldwin Addresses Justin Bieber Dating Rumors? Romance Gossip Heats Up After The Pair Posts Flurry Of Instagram Photos Together

Justin Bieber may be linked to his on-and-off girlfriend Selena Gomez every other day but fans of the Biebs have been buzzing about another lady in his life, gal pal Hailey Baldwin.

Rumors that Justin, 20, and Hailey, 18, are dating have been circulating since the pair started posting a ton of Instagram photos together in recent weeks. So are the two really a couple? Hailey addressed the speculation during an interview with E! News at the premiere of "Exodus" in New York City on Saturday.

"I've known him since I was so young-since I was like 13-and we've just been good friends over the years," the model told the publication. "We have just stayed close and there's nothing more to it than that."

Last week, Hailey and Justin were spotted eating lunch together at Spago in Beverly Hills. They also joined each other for an L.A. Clippers basketball game.

The pair was also seen hanging out in New York City a week ago. "Nyc with the clown posse," Justin captioned a photo featuring Hailey and another friend.

Then days later, the friends were spied at an IHop in L.A.

So, perhaps Hailey and Justin are just friends, friends that spend a lot of time together.

"3 stooges," Justin captioned another Instagram photo featuring Hailey.

Blonde Hailey didn't comment on the "As Long As You Love Me" singer's new platinum blonde hair color during her interview with E! News, although the pals now match.

Justin is reportedly single after his split from "The Heart Wants What It Wants" singer Selena Gomez, 22, earlier this year.
