In addition, the 22-year-old model said her cousin and the singer are soulmates. Reflecting on how they’ve been through “a lot of trial and error as individuals and together,” Ireland said, “It was meant to be a long time ago.”
She added, “It was just a long time coming, and we’re all like, ‘Alright, thank God, let’s move forward.’ They’re so in love and they really do a lot of good for each other, and that’s the most important thing for me, that he makes her so happy. They just bring out the good in each other, they really do.”

“I think they do a really good job of checking each other when one desperately needs to be checked and told, ‘You’re out of line.’ I think they really, really do care about each other so much and care about what others and what their families think of them,” Ireland added.
Also at the iHeartRadio Festival, Ireland jokingly toldExtrathat fans have been “Da Vinci Code-ing something that’s not happening” regarding Hailey and Justin’s marital status. “I think they were getting things sorted and think people are reading into photos and things way too deep — they are. I think they are just traveling and happy and taking it slow,” she said.
After the courthouse wedding, Hailey went on to claim in a since-deleted tweet that “I’m not married yet,” something a friend of the coupletold PEOPLEshe wrote because she “feels a civil ceremony and their ‘real’ wedding are two separate things.”
