Neither Bieber or Richie ever confirmed their 2016 fling but they were spotted on several PDA-packed outings in Los Angeles and Tokyo that August.
At the time, the daughter of Lionel Richie gushed to Billboard about their 'special relationship' and how she was drawn to Bieber's down-to-earth nature.
'Justin is very easy to talk to, and that's hard to find with people in Los Angeles,' she said.
Months earlier, Bieber had enjoyed another brief romance with his now-wife Hailey following his split from on/off girlfriend Selena Gomez, 31.
Although Bieber and Richie's romantic connection wasn't meant to be, it's clear the pair are on friendly terms.
Another one of Bieber's ex-girlfriends also publicly congratulated the couple on their baby joy.
Caitlin Beadles, who was the singer's very first girlfriend back in 2008, was ecstatic for the couple.
'congrats, happy for y'all!' the influencer wrote.
Beadles met Bieber when he and his mother Pattie Mallette, 49, moved from their small town in Canada to Atlanta, Georgia to work with Usher on Justin's music career.
They were just 14 when they struck up a romance that Beadles reportedly ended one year later — just before he hit the big time.
Being that Beadles and her family were part of his early support system in the US, Bieber notably invited them to his and Hailey's South Carolina wedding in 2019.
