Who knew Justin Bieber is such a gentleman?
The singer asked Hailey Baldwin‘s father, Stephen Baldwin, for permission before proposing, TMZ reports.
Sources told the site that Bieber, 24, met with Stephen weeks before popping the question to the “Biodome” actor’s 21-year-old daughter.
The conversation reportedly centered on religion, as Bieber, Hailey and Stephen are all practicing Christians, with Hailey and Bieber being particularly active in the Hillsong Church.
Bieber proposed to Hailey at an exclusive Bahamas resort on Saturday, complete with a massive oval-shaped diamond ring worth roughly $400,000.
Stephen previously celebrated their engagement news with a since-deleted series of social media posts, complete with scripture about marriage.
A rep for Stephen declined to comment on the engagement to Page Six.
Hailey’s cousin, model Ireland Baldwin, also marked the occasion with a sweet Instagram post declaring Hailey to be “one less lonely girl,” a reference to Bieber’s 2009 hit.
Hailey and Bieber have been friends for years and have had an on-again, off-again romance since roughly 2016.
The pair have engaged in heavy PDA for roughly a month, much to the chagrin of Bieber’s former Calabasas, Calif., neighbor, who demanded a warrant for his arrest after the crooner allegedly skipped out on a deposition to gallivant with his girlfriend in the Big Apple.
Bieber confirmed the engagement news in a gushing Instagram post on Monday night that likely delighted Hailey’s proud papa.
“I promise to lead our family with honor and integrity letting Jesus through his Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do and every decision we make,” Bieber wrote. “My heart is COMPLETELY and FULLY YOURS and I will ALWAYS put you first! You are the love of my life Hailey Baldwin and I wouldn’t want to spend it with anybody else.”
Reps for Bieber and Hailey did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
