It is speculated that Baskin Champion and Justin Bieber met through model and actor Patrick Schwarzenegger, elder son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, who is dating Baskin’s sister Abby. They were all present at the premiere of Schwarzenegger's upcoming movie with Bella Thorne, ‘Midnight Sun’, one week before the two were spotted together. According to a report on 'E! News', Bieber has been hanging out with her for a time and the two went to his house that night, leaving the rest of his friends. The source also claimed that they spent time together several times in the last few weeks, visiting multiple clubs, including Avenue nightclub in Hollywood. The timing of all these has been particularly interesting because at the time, Bieber and his on-and-off girlfriend Selena Gomez had decided to take time off each other. Reportedly, he was upset about the decision to part ways and had been trying to keep himself busy until things worked out with Gomez. However, despite claiming that Bieber seems to enjoy Baskin's company, the source also mentioned that it would not be fair to say that they were dating as he only wanted to be seriously involved with Gomez.

According to cosmopolitan.com, her night out with Bieber was a carefully staged act orchestrated by the Canadian singer in order make Selena Gomez jealous. Sources point out that Bieber had been manipulative like this a number of times before, and deliberately wanted to ruin the fun time Selena was having with female friends in the sun in Australia. Nevertheless, Baskin's Instagram posts have already been spammed with hate comments and snakes emojis by 'Jelena' fans who want Baskin to stay away from Justin and Selena.
