The singer, 26, marked his wedding anniversary to model wife Hailey, 23, by sharing a beautiful and heartfelt message about her with the world
Justin and Hailey Bieber are celebrating their second wedding anniversary.
The singer shared a beautiful and empowering message for his wife as the loved-up pair marked the milestone.
Sharing a stunning black and white picture from their wedding day in 2018, Justin wrote: "Hailey Bieber. I am so lucky to be YOUR husband! You teach me so much everyday and make me such a better man!
"I am committed for the rest of our lives to empower you to be the woman God has called you to be! My heart is to enable you to achieve all of your wildest dreams! I promise to always put you first, to lead with patience and kindness!!
"Happy anniversary my beautiful sweet girl"
His words went down a treat with his followers, including his besotted wife, who commented: "My person."
One fan urged everybody: "GET YOURSELF A HUSBAND LIKE JUSTIN BIEBER"
While another wrote: "Happy wedding anniversary lovebirds wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and love."
Justin once said that the secret to a happy marriage is making sure you sort out all your issues "between the sheets".
In his song, Take It Out On Me, he hinted at the way he and Hailey sort out any problems they might encounter.

He sings: "There’s time when we get in that space where we’re frustrated and upset.
"Whatever happens in life she can take it out on me – in the sack."
Justin recently hinted that he and Hailey might soon be starting a family.
Looking to the future, he wrote in a social media post: "I came from a small town in Stratford Ontario Canada. I didn't have material things and was never motivated by money or fame I just loved music. But as I became a teenager I let my insecurities and frustrations dictate what I put my value in.

"My values slowly started to change. Ego and power started to takeover and my relationships suffered because of it.
"I truly desire healthy relationships. I want to be motivated by truth and love.
"I want to be aware of my blind spots and learn from them! I want to walk in the plans God has for me and not try and do it on my own!
"I want to give up my selfish desires daily so I can be a good husband and future dad!"
