Rumors that model Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber are dating have been circulating the Internet for weeks. Although Hailey has denied that she's in a relationship with The Biebs, it appears that Justin had to take things into his own hands to dispel the reports. On Monday, Justin posted a photo of him and Hailey, along with a direct statement regarding their relationship status.
“People are crazy. I'm super single and this is my good friend u would know otherwise,” Justin captioned the photo.
Hailey seemed to confirm Justin's sentiments on her Twitter.
“Hope that clarifies everything for everyone… rumors are silly!” she wrote right after Justin posted the photo.

Justin and Hailey, who is the daughter of Stephen Baldwin, have been friends for years.
"I've known him since I was so young - since I was like 13 - and we've just been good friends over the years,” Hailey recently told E! News. "We have just stayed close and there's nothing more to it than that."
While the pair is denying that they are in a romantic relationship, a new report from HollywoodLife claims that Justin and Hailey went on a date on December 12. The site claims that they were seen in a private room at LA's Stage Social House and that “they were very flirty and touchy feely.”
“Justin [was] putting his hand on her leg under the table and Hailey [was] stroking his arm with her fingers,” the site reported. “They were definitely conscious of other people though and pulled back when they thought people were looking.”
Justin and Hailey were recently seen out with pals Kendall Jenner and Chris Brown.
Even if he isn't dating Hailey, Justin's statement that he is “super single” is important because it confirms that he is “off again” with longtime love Selena Gomez. The pair has been in a yo-yo relationship for years, but seem to still have feelings for each other, despite their breakup. During an interview last week, Selena briefly discussed how she feels about Justin.
"I definitely have so much respect and love for him," she told Norway's NRJ Radio on Thursday.
