Justin Bieber turns 30, a trip down memory lane

Justin Bieber A big milestone was reached on Friday: he finally turned 30… and let's just say it's been a long, eventful ride to reach this number that's worth looking back on.

It's been a wild ride for the Biebs… catching the supermanager's attention for the first time Scooter Braun in 2008. He signed with Braun and Guard not long after… but not before they had to outbid Justin Timberlake.

Since then, Bieber's music career has clearly taken off… with Justin winning Grammys, touring the world and raking in millions over the next fifteen years. Of course, his fan base has also absolutely exploded… with millions and millions of Beliebers.

Outside of his hugely successful music career, Justin has proven to be popular with the ladies… remember, JB has been linked to several famous faces over the years… including Sofia Richie, Nicola Peltz, Kourtney Kardashian and, of course, old GF Selena Gomez.

None of those relationships lasted… partly due to personal issues that Justin faced over the next decade. Justin's late teens and early twenties were full of controversy and tumult (who can forget that?). the seized monkey) including his infamous 2014 DUI arrest.

Bieber battled personal issues for years… that is, until he finally cleaned up his act and turned to God, while also getting back together with another of his famous exes — Hailey Baldwinwho is now Mrs. Bieber.

Justin and Hailey married in September 2018 – the end of a whirlwind resurgence that reportedly started just months before the two exchanged their vows. They've been together ever since… and they look in love every time they're seen together and tied at the hip.

More recently, Justin has been plagued by health issues, including Ramsay Hunt Syndrome paralyzed part of his face and forced him to cancel his “Justice” world tour. He hasn't performed much since 2022, and there are no signs of him hitting the big stage again anytime soon.

If you remember, he was approached to perform with Usher at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, but ultimately passed on it… even though he was at the game itself.

Bieber chose to remain a spectator, but it was still good to see him outside. He's been going out to town with Hailey a lot these days… but he doesn't talk much.

And yet… his fans love him to this day. For good reason, of course – he's a star among stars, and then some – and on his 30th birthday… it's crazy to think that we've been in the public spotlight with him all these years.
