Jayde has a highly-followed Instagram page, and when the Biebs came across it in April, he took notice, and sent a message to the 19-year-old. They exchanged numbers, and began talking. “He would just be saying normal things like, ‘Hey, how was your day,’ and I was asking the same,” Jayde tells The Mirror. Four weeks later, she flew to Los Angeles to hang out with the singer.

“When I arrived he was sitting in the garden playing guitar,” Jayde explained. “He just looked up and said, ‘Hey, how was your flight?'” And, are you ready to just totally swoon?! After that, Justin totally serenaded his new pal with a rendition of Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me A River.” OMG. Okay, you can breathe now.
“People think Justin must be a brat and arrogant, but he’s nothing like that,” Jayde gushed. “He’s a really tactile guy. He loves cuddles.” When they weren’t hanging out in the privacy of the Biebs’ home, the duo was spotted out and about, including at the gym, where paparazzi snapped photos of them.
Unfortunately, while the week was totally fun-filled, it also led to some negative backlash for Jayde. “I had thousands of messages from people calling me racist things like ‘money,'” she admitted. “It’s annoying his fans can’t respect he can hang out with who he likes. Justin told me he blocks social media when bad things are being said about him.”
But, in the end, the relationship is platonic, according to Jayde. “Honestly, most of the time we spent chatting,” she revealed. “Nothing more. He’d tell me, ‘You don’t need make up, you look pretty naturally.’ And he loved my British accent. I definitely fancied him, too. He’s messaged to ask how my flight was — it wasn’t a ‘bye forever,’ it felt like, ‘bye for now.’ If he came to London I’d see him.”
