Rumors of Justin Bieber being engaged to Hailey Baldwin are apparently off base.

Word of the pair's pending nuptials sparked a frenzy on the web on Thursday, with countless fans expressing everything from jubilation to disbelief to almost disdain.

According to E! News, the false alarm was sparked after someone posted what appeared to be a TMZ picture of Baldwin wearing an engagement ring presumably given to her by Bieber.

In truth, Baldwin insists the two are just friends, recently hinting to reporters she views her dealings with him to be not much different from the relationship she shares with close pal Kendall Jenner.

Just the same, rumors about Bieber and Baldwin being an item have been on the rise for weeks now, and the two recently being spotted together at the Coachella Music Fest did little to quell them. Over that weekend, the 21-year-old "Baby" singer regularly posed for pics snuggled between both Baldwin and Jenner.

"Justin has been showering Kendall and Hailey with lots of attention. He was hoping to get lucky with one of them over the weekend," a source told HollywoodLife.

Initial rumors of a romance between Baldwin and Bieber date all the way back to sometime in 2014, when HollywoodLife reported the two were definitely dating but were intent on "trying to keep it a secret."

Back then, the website added the two were often spotted on dates together, but Bieber was regularly warned by his handlers to keep his love life out of the spotlight.

"They're still very much in the honeymoon stage of their relationship and Justin is doing everything he can to please Hailey," the source added. "He likes protecting her. It's a boyfriend move."
