By now, you've probably heard that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are engaged [1]. Well, if you thought the whole thing was a spur-of-the-moment decision, think again. According to TMZ, the 24-year-old singer [2] reportedly asked Hailey's dad [3], Stephen Baldwin, for Hailey's hand in marriage [4] before he popped the question in the Bahamas [5] on July 7. Sources told the outlet that Justin and Stephen actually met several weeks ago and the conversation was "very important" to Justin. Stephen is a minister in NYC, and he reportedly believes that Justin has the same Christian values as he and Hailey do, given that they're all members of Hillsong Church.

Fun fact: Hailey and Justin first met [6] back in 2009 when Stephen took her to one of Justin's meet-and-greets, though it wasn't until six years later that their relationship turned romantic [7].

So there you have it: this is really happening, folks!
