Hailey Baldwin has opened up about her friendship with Justin Bieber and revealed that any drama that went on between them has been left firmly in the past.

The 21-year-old model revealed that dating in the public eye can be tough and hinted that she’d like to settle down and have children at some point in the next five to ten years.

'Let's get checking out a bunch of celebs who got savage revenge on their ex...'

In an interview with The Times, she explained: "The dating pool is small. It’s rare to find somebody that has the same ideas and morals as me. I have found people like that before, though, which is refreshing."

That’s when the conversation reportedly turned to her brief romance with Justin back in 2015. “Justin and I were friends for a long time," she said. "I met him when I was really young and he was one of my best friends.

“Everybody knows that at a certain point in time that turned into something else, but that just happens when you’re 18, 19. It was what it was. We went through a long period of time when we weren’t friends.

She added: “We didn’t speak for quite some time and there was a lot of weirdness that went on. We’ve moved past that."

The good news is that Justin and Hailey still play a major role in each other’s lives: “It brought both of us to the realization that we just work much better as friends. He’s somebody I really cherish. Now it’s a very mature situation. It’s good."

Props to these two for proving that exes *can* be friends without any awkwardness.
