Young love! Justin Bieber was confident that his now-wife Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin) would accept his marriage proposal, but there was one thing that made him “extremely nervous” about popping the question.
The “Yummy” singer, 25, confessed during an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, January 28, that he had was worried he wouldn’t be able to take on the huge commitment of marriage before he got down on one knee.
“I was extremely nervous. I felt like, in the past, we had talked about me asking the question and I felt like she would say ‘yes,'” he explained to host Ellen DeGeneres. “I was more nervous about, ‘Am I able to make this commitment as a man and be able to honor what I say?’ Because that’s a serious commitment, when you say you’re gonna love someone for better or for worse and be faithful.”
Eventually, Justin put his fears behind him and decided to “follow through” with the big commitment. The “Never Say Never” singer admitted to DeGeneres, 60, that being a husband was something he “always wanted” and that Hailey was the only one for him.
