Justin Bieber reportedly first met Miranda Kerr in 2012 backstage at a Victoria Secret's fashion show. That year, the singer took the stage to perform while Kerr walked the runway. Backstage, they were photographed looking especially cozy as Bieber kissed her on the cheek. However, according to various publications, things really picked up afterward. Hollywood Life noted that Bieber and Kerr "hooked up" after the show and sent each other "dirty texts." Similarly, an anonymous source spoke to E! News, sharing, "[Justin and Miranda] were all out partying until early morning and the group went back to the hotel. Bieber and Kerr were acting flirty throughout the course of the evening." The same source added, "Since their already infamous hang out, Bieber has tried to reach out to Kerr several times, but she didn't entertain his attempts at maintaining steady contact — they texted a bit here and there. He was very persistent."

Kerr, however, vehemently denied ever hooking up with the pop singer. According to TMZ, the model released a statement through her lawyer and claimed that the rumors were completely "false and defamatory." Unfortunately, this was around that time that Kerr and her husband, actor Orlando Bloom, initiated their divorce. And even though neither star has ever stated this outright, it's been rumored — among other things — that Bieber's relationship with Kerr is what led to the end of their marriage.
