Justin Bieber had a rocking start for the year 2015. According to recent reports, the Canadian singer went on an island getaway with close friend Hailey Baldwin.

Following his split from former girlfriend Selena Gomez, Bieber is reportedly spending a lot of time with Baldwin. Reports from Christian Post indicate that Bieber was spotted in Turks and Caicos. Just as the clock struck midnight, Bieber captured a sweet moment with Baldwin in a video. The two were accompanied by close friends videographer Alfredo Flores, engineer Josh Gudwin and producer Julian Swirsky.

The group stayed at a resort home, which is a three-bedroom house built facing the beach. The resort is part of Parrot Cay Resorts and owned by Christie Brinkley. It comes with a hefty price from $5,000 a night to $51,000 for a full week. According to reports from Hollywood Life, it is quite an exotic place. The three bedrooms are detached from each other and separated by screened porches.

Despite Bieber's claim that he is still single and Baldwin is just a friend, rumours are brewing that the two are romantically involved with each other. The long-time friends were spotted jet skiing together at the Parrot Cay private island resort. Inquisitr reported that a local resident of the island claimed that he saw the two kissing each other. However, no evidence was produced to support his claim.

Kissing or no kissing, the two are highly speculated as a budding romantic couple. The daughter of Stephen Baldwin earlier claimed that she has known Bieber for a long time. After spending Christmas in Canada, the 20-year-old youth icon has reportedly spent a lot of time hanging out with Baldwin.

The presence of Gudwin and Swirsky, however, suggests that Bieber was also using this vacation time for some brainstorming and quality work. It could also indicate that Bieber might release a new album in 2015, but no official announcement has been made yet.
