Sofia and the “Purpose” crooner made headlines with their romance in August 2016, jetting off to Japan and Mexico together and showcasing their chemistry on social media. They dated for one month before ultimately calling it quits.
Bieber made headlines when his relationship with Sofia Richie became public. The singer and the model, daughter of Lionel Richie, often posted photos of each other on their social media accounts and even traveled to Japan and Mexico together.
Early on in the relationship, Bieber pleaded with fans to stop harassing Richie, which prompted some Instagram drama with another of his exes, Selena Gomez.
“We have a special relationship. Justin is very easy to talk to, and that’s hard to find with people in Los Angeles,” Sofia Richie said about Justin Bieber. The two also posted pictures of each other on their social media profiles.
According to E! News, fans of Justin Bieber did not like that he was with Sofia Richie. The number of negative comments caused him to threaten to make his Instagram profile private. However, the couple would only be together for about a month before parting ways.
