Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are reportedly married — and a 'big blowout' wedding is expected

• It was reported earlier today that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are now officially married, according to an anonymous "religious source."
• The source told People that the two were legally married at a New York City courthouse on Thursday and will celebrate with friends and family soon.
• Baldwin, however, took to Twitter hours later to deny the reports.
• "I understand where the speculation is coming from, but I’m not married yet!" she wrote.

Just two months after Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin got engaged, it was widely reported that they had already gotten married.

Baldwin, however, took to Twitter shortly after the news broke and denied the reports: "I understand where the speculation is coming from, but I’m not married yet!"

Speculation began swirling when they were spotted Thurday at the New York City Marriage Bureau, where couples can procure a marriage license. People reported shortly after that they were officially married at the courthouse.

"They went ahead and did it without listening to anyone," a source told People.

According to the outlet, a "religious source" also confirmed that Bieber and Baldwin are now legally married, but are planning to celebrate with friends and families soon.

"They're going to have a big blowout, in front of God and everyone they love," the source told People.

In late July, Bieber implied that their wedding would be rather soon. Bieber and Baldwin were even spotted meeting with a pastor that same day. On Thursday, TMZ reported that Bieber had gotten "emotional" at the courthouse, according to "several eyewitnesses."

According to the anonymous eyewitnesses, Bieber shed some tears and even told Baldwin, "I can't wait to marry you, baby."

One eyewitness also claimed that Bieber told a court official, "Thanks for keeping it on the DL."

According to TMZ, one eyewitness had claimed that the court official was actually a judge — suggesting that Bieber and Baldwin had gone for an official wedding ceremony, rather than simple documentation — but the website couldn't confirm that report.

Most states require couples to procure a marriage license before the actual wedding ceremony — and New York state requires a 24-hour waiting period for couples to officially tie the knot after filing the paperwork. According to New York's website for the Department of Health, this waiting period may be waived by a judge or justice of the Supreme Court of New York State under certain circumstances.

Bieber and Baldwin have been close friends for many years and even had a romantic (yet loosely defined) relationship from late 2015 to early 2016. They reunited in May of this year and quickly made it official, with Bieber popping the question two months later.

Representatives for Bieber and Baldwin didn't immediately respond to INSIDER's request for comment.
