Baldwin tweeted soon after Bieber's post, writing: "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 with1 No words could ever express my gratitude."

Initial reports of the couple's engagement emerged over the weekend, after witnesses said Bieber had proposed in a restaurant, where his security asked everyone to put their phones away so they could enjoy some privacy. 

Baldwin was spotted the next day with a large diamond ring on her engagement finger. She has appeared in a number of modelling campaigns, music videos and TV shows, plus shoots for American Vogue, Marie Claire and Spanish Harper's Bazaar. 

The couple were introduced by Baldwin's father, the actor Stephen Baldwin, at the New York premiere of Bieber's film Never Say Never in 2011, when she was 14 and he was 17. They dated for a short while in 2016, before Bieber reunited with his former girlfriend - singer and actress Selena Gomez - later splitting with her and getting back together with Baldwin.
