February 2016
Justin and Hailey acknowledged that they were in a relationship, but made it clear they were not exclusive.
During another interview with E! News, Hailey said that the pair were "not an exclusive couple," adding, "relationships at this age are already complicated, but I don't really like to talk about it because it's between me and him."
As for Justin, he spoke with GQ saying that Hailey was "someone I really love" but starting a serious relationship was not a good idea because there was already "a lot that [he had] to commit to," including a tour.
Later that year, the pair split in a "very dramatic excommunication," according to People.
June 2018
After Hailey and Justin called it quits, he got back together with Selena Gomez, but in May 2018, the pair called it quits for good.
A few weeks later, Justin got back together with Hailey.
"The common denominator, I promise you, is always church," Hailey told Vogue, via People.
"By then we were past the drama. I just gave him a hug. By the end of the conference, he was like, 'We're not going to be friends.' I was like, 'We're not?' "
The pair went on to have a number of PDA-filled public appearances, confirming their relationship was back on.

Hailey and Justin had a wedding ceremony in front of their friends and family at the Montage Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, South Carolina.
But despite the concern around Justin's health and alleged drug use, his representative insisted back in March that he has never been better.
'HARD DRUG USE NOT TRUE'
"The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true," his rep told TMZ earlier this year.
They added how the rumors about how Justin is doing is "exhausting and pitiful".
They then noted how it "shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive".
His rep then said how the singer is "in one of the best places in his life".
This comes after Justin sparked concern for his health after looking "hollow-eyed" on several outings.
And back in March, Justin was even slammed by fans after sharing a selection of snaps of him smoking a bong.
Sharing the slew of snaps on his Instagram page at the start of March, Justin could be seen wearing baggy clothes while sitting on a bike as he inhaled from a bong.

Blake Lively speaks out on Justin Baldoni's £294m defamation lawsuit dismissal
Blake Lively initially launched a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni - who has strongly refuted the claims - after the pair worked together on It Ends With Us Blake Lively has spoken out for the first time since she was cleared in the $400million (£294million) defamation and extortion lawsuit filed by her It Ends with Us collaborator Justin Baldoni. The actress' powerful statement comes just hours after a judge dismissed Justin's case. Blake, 37, said on Instagram: "Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organisations united in defending women's rights to speak up for their safety. "Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us. While the suit against me was defeated, so many don't have the resources to fight back." Blake initially launched a sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin - who has strongly refuted the claims. However, he hit back with the $400million defamation claim against her, her publicist and husband Ryan Reynolds, all of whom have dismissed the accusations. But after the judge chucked out Justin's claims, a source close to the Los Angeles-born actress said: "Today's opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit." The row happened after Blake and Justin, 41, starred together in It Ends With Us, a romcom released last year. The alleged sexual harassment occurred during production for that film, which Justin directed. But now, speaking after the dismissal, Blake added she was "more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story". The Gossip Girl actress, who has four children with Ryan Reynolds, "With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you." Last month, Blake's pal Taylor Swift was dragged into the scandal when she was officially subpoenaed to appear as a witness. The pop star was delivered a legal notice by Justin's lawyer Bryan Freedman - a decision which had been slammed by her team as a tactic to create clickbait. In a move that appeared to please Blake and Taylor, it was confirmed Justin would no longer be calling on the Bad Blood hitmaker to appear as a witness. Bryan Freedman had claimed Blake had called on "her high-profile friends" including Taylor to "manipulate Justin at every turn." Taylor, who is close friends with Blake, licensed her hit song My Tears Ricochet to be used in the film but was not involved in the making of It Ends With Us, said her reps. Justin has denied all allegations brought about by Blake.

The unexpected word that predicts whether your relationship will survive or fail: 'If it's missing so is your future'
Have you ever wondered what truly keeps the spark alive in a relationship? When you push beyond the unexplained chemistry, fatal attraction or those flirty good morning texts, Australian dating expert Louanne Ward has revealed there's one unexpected eight-letter word that may hold all the answers. Forget everything you've been told about grand gestures or perfectly timed messages. According to Louanne, the real sign someone is genuinely interested and emotionally invested in you is far more subtle - and it all comes down to the small things. In a viral Instagram reel, Louanne has lifted the lid on the growing dating trend coined 'Pebbling' - a behaviour inspired by none other than penguins. 'Pebbling is when someone offers small, thoughtful actions that say, "I remembered", "I saw this and thought of you", "You matter, not just in the moment, but when you're not here",' she said. 'This one word decides if your relationship will thrive or fail... And if this is missing so is your future.' The concept draws from the way penguins offer pebbles to potential mates as a sign of affection. In the human dating world, it translates to those micro-moments that might seem insignificant but are actually quietly monumental. 'They might reference something you said two weeks ago,' Louanne continued. 'They send you an article or a song because it reminded them of you. They grab your favourite snack without being asked. They call after an important appointment.' These moments, are what Louanne stated, aren't just thoughtful, they're powerful. They're signs of attention, effort, and intentionality. And they're what separates someone who's emotionally invested from someone who's simply enjoying the ride. While consistency is often cited as a key trait in a healthy relationship, Louanne argued that real consistency isn't just about replying to texts or showing up on time. 'Because real consistency doesn't just mean following through on what you say or texting good morning. It's about how someone shows up.' And when it comes to showing up, pebbling might just be the ultimate relationship litmus test. 'If they're not pebbling, they're not building,' Louanne warned. 'And no amount of charm or attraction will change that.' Her followers were quick to praise the insight, with many admitting they'd never heard of the term but instantly recognised the behaviour - or the absence of it - in their own relationships. So, next time you're analysing your partner's texts or trying to decode their behaviour, it might be worth zooming in on the little things instead. Are they pebbling, or just passing time? Because according to this dating expert, that could be the difference between a relationship that fizzles, and one that actually lasts. Louanne, who is a qualified matchmaker and coach from Perth, Western Australia, has also revealed a lesser-known trick which she claims makes you instantly more attractive. She claims the 'AT20 Eye Contact Rule' (Around-the-Target 20 per cent) will make you 'ten times more attractive' in conversations. She said you should maintain direct eye contact for 20 per cent of the conversation then subtly shift your gaze around the rest of the face. 'If you stare too much, it can feel intense, creepy, or confrontational. If you avoid eye contact, you come across as nervous, uninterested, or lacking confidence,' Louanne explained on Instagram. 'But when you balance eye contact with subtle shifts - to their lips, cheekbones, or forehead - it creates a sense of natural intrigue and chemistry. 'Most people don't realise how small shifts in body language can completely change how they're perceived. If you want to create effortless chemistry and attraction in real-life interactions.' Louanne said the tactic is 'backed by psychology' and works by 'creating mystery', 'mimicking romantic subconscious cues' and 'feeling natural'. 'Slightly breaking eye contact at key moments makes them want to pull you back in,' she wrote.
