Shortly after reuniting and breaking up with Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber has been spotted on a date with a new girl.
The mystery blonde was revealed to be Baskin Champion, a 22-year-old model and former teen beauty queen who currently has over 255,000 followers on Instagram.
Who Is Baskin Champion?
Champion has been modeling since 2012. In 2014, she was crowned Miss Alabama Teen USA and was named Miss Photogenic in the Miss Teen USA, revealed W Magazine.
The rising star attended the Auburn University to study fashion design, but took some time off after her sophomore year to pursue modeling full-time. She moved to Los Angeles to intern but her modeling took her to New York and Miami.
She was signed by Wilhelmina Models, the agency that represents some of the most recognized faces in the industry such as Coco Rocha.
Most recently, Champion participated in a casting call for Sports Illustrated. For her profile, she counts Pilates, chocolate chip cookies, and football as some of her favorites.
Right now, she and her sister, Abby, who is also a model, live in Los Angeles.
How Did She Meet Justin Bieber?
According to reports, Champion met the "Sorry" singer through their common friend, Patrick Schwarzenegger. Abby, 21 years old, is currently dating the Midnight Sun actor.
Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger and Bieber have been good friends for a while now. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the eldest son of Arnold Schwarzenegger talked about his dynamic with the 24-year-old pop star.
"He's such a great guy," he shared. "I'm just really blessed to call him a friend, he's a really great guy... I'm really happy he came to support me and I'll support him throughout his life."
Are They Dating?
While the two have been spotted getting close together, but some are questioning whether Bieber and Champion are officially boyfriend and girlfriend. Elle mentioned that fans are claiming that the young model actually has a boyfriend.
Apparently, according to her followers, Champion deleted photos of her boyfriend on her Instagram a few days before she was spotted in Bieber's Los Angeles home.
Moreover, a source told People that Jelena (Justin + Selena) is not exactly over yet. After they went on a break earlier this month, the "Love Yourself" singer has not dated anyone else.
"He thinks and talks about Selena all the time," a friend of Bieber told the publication. "The chapter with her is definitely not finished."
Gomez, meanwhile, has been spending some time away from the spotlight. She was recently spotted on a vacation in Australia with some friends.
