Tying The Knot

9:55 AM PT -- It's a wrap ... Faith and Stevie have already done the deed. Multiple sources at the ceremony confirm they tied the knot in their hotel room Tuesday night ... around 10:30 PM.

Pass the champagne!

Faith Evans and Stevie J are THIS close to becoming Mr. and Mrs. Jordan ... TMZ's learned they've applied for a marriage license in Las Vegas.

According to docs, the singer and producer filed for the license in Clark County on Tuesday. The clock's now running, they have one year to tie the knot. But it seems like they won't need that long -- Stevie tweeted Tuesday, "I love you Faith Renee Jordan," and Faith replied, "I love you back Steven Aaron Jordan."

The couple had broken up last year -- but, you know what they say, break up to make up.

The news comes on the heels of a steamy clip Stevie J posted last week from a music video he and Faith shot for their track, "A Minute." They had also been flirting on Stevie's show, "Leave It to Stevie" ... but this is a big turnaround for him.

TMZ broke the story ... Stevie avoided going to prison for failing to pay child support. He's on the hook for over a million bucks. He also battled a nasty child custody case with his ex, Joseline Hernandez.

This would be Stevie's first marriage and Faith's third -- she was previously married to the Notorious B.I.G. and Todd Russaw, whom she divorced in 2012.

Matt Barnes says things are finally so good between him and Derek Fisher, he invited his ex-wife's fiance to his charity event in L.A. -- but, there was just one problem, Fisher didn't show up.

Barnes was holding an Athletes vs. Cancer fundraiser -- hoping to raise cash to provide college scholarships for kids who beat cancer ... very cool.

Fisher was on the guest list, so we asked Barnes about their relationship ... and he couldn't have been more positive.

"Yeah, we're good ... we're fine," Barnes said.

"The most important thing is to make my kids happy and we're both working hard at that."

The invite comes off the heels of Derek Fisher and Gloria Govan saying Barnes would not get an invite to their upcoming wedding. Seems Barnes is trying to make the relationship work.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin have been engaged for a little over a week, but they're already like an old, retired married couple ... spending their free time golfing.

Bieber played golf instructor at Top Golf Sunday in Alpharetta, GA, teaching his future wife how to swing a club. Witnesses tell us he paid extra attention to Hailey and made sure she got the hang of the game. He's been an avid golfer for a while.

Since rekindling things, the duo have been hard to keep track of ... they got engaged in the Bahamas, then returned to NYC, then spent this past weekend in Miami only to wind up in Atlanta.

Carl Lentz -- the pastor at the Hillsong church who was inseparable from Justin Bieber -- appeared to have trouble congratulating Justin on his engagement, and we're told it's because the 2 have had a major falling out.

Lentz was in Sydney, Australia Friday when the photog asked about Bieber, and it's pretty clear Lentz was uncomfortable.

Sources connected to Bieber tell TMZ ... Justin became angry at Lentz a while ago and broke ties with the pastor.

Justin and his fiancee, Hailey Baldwin, have both been active members of Hillsong and continue to patronize the church but, at least as far as Justin is concerned ... Carl is history.

We contacted Lentz, who told us he will not comment on his personal relationship with Bieber.

Justin Bieber wasn't traveling light when he took off for the Bahamas to pop the question to Hailey Baldwin ... he had a huge and pricey rock on him!

We spoke with Jack Solow -- the owner of Solow & Co. -- about the backstory of Hailey's engagement ring. He tells us he originally met JB through his manager Scooter Braun, a close family friend of his, and Bieber reached out to him a few weeks ago about buying a ring.

We're told he decided on a large, elongated oval-shaped diamond between 6 to 10 carats ... and Jack met Justin at his hotel in NYC to deliver it right before Bieber and Hailey left for the Bahamas.

Solow wouldn't spill the beans on the final price tag, but sources tell us it was around half a mil.

TMZ broke the story ... Justin proposed to Hailey Saturday night at their resort in front of the other guests, weeks after getting the blessing from her father.

She said yes.

Justin Bieber is catching all the feels after his engagement to Hailey Baldwin, and the question now is -- which ones were on display during this phone call?

The Biebs was spotted outside his fiancee's Brooklyn apartment Tuesday -- shortly before they hopped in a chopper to visit her mom and dad, Stephen Baldwin. He's definitely having an emotional reaction to the phone convo, but hard to tell if he's laughing or crying.

Whatever the topic ... he does seem kinda stressed by it. We know papa Baldwin's already given his blessing, so we doubt Justin was anxious about going to hang with his in-laws-to-be.

Justin Bieber continues to pull out all the stops for his new fiancee, Hailey Baldwin ... taking a HELICOPTER to meet up with her family just a few miles away.

Justin and Hailey loaded into their very own private helicopter Tuesday for the 70-mile trek to upstate New York. The destination? New Windsor ... a town with a population of about 25,000, where Hailey's dad Stephen and family call home.

TMZ broke the story, Justin approached Papa Baldwin a few weeks back to ask for Hailey's hand in marriage before he got down on one knee in the Bahamas and popped the question.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are making sure her engagement ring doesn't slip off her finger because one of their first stops after getting back to NYC was at a jeweler.

The Biebs and Baldwin looked super chill and blissed out Tuesday evening as they waited for Hailey's ring to get resized inside Pristine Jewelers. Gotta say ... Justin's acing the fiance thing so far -- he gave Baldwin a shoulder massage while they were waiting.

She seemed reluctant to even briefly remove the ring. Still no word on the size or cost of her ring -- not that it matters. Hailey and Justin haven't stopped glowing since he popped the question this past weekend in the Bahamas.

We spoke with Avi and Ofir from Prestine who tells us JB also got a white gold ring of his own and picked up a white diamond encrusted Patek Philippe watch.

Justin Bieber and the future Mrs. Bieber, Hailey Baldwin, are back on US soil after their engagement fun in the islands -- and they're getting flooded with well wishes at every turn.

The couple returned to NYC Tuesday and, as soon as Justin stepped out of their ride, fans and photogs congratulated him on popping the question. Hailey got the same treatment once she stepped out too.

As we showed you ... HB and JB were happy to party with fans down in the Bahamas right after they got engaged. Let's just say, they seem kinda partied out now that they're back home.

Justin Bieber's a sucker for old school traditions -- he made sure to ask Hailey Baldwin's father for her hand in marriage before he popped the question ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell us Justin and Stephen Baldwin met face-to-face several weeks ago. We're told the conversation was very important to the Biebs, who absolutely wanted the green light from Hailey's pop. Stephen is a minister in NY, and we're told he believes Justin has the same Christian values as he and Hailey do -- and, of course, JB and HB both attend Hillsong Church.

Point is ... Stephen happily gave his blessing. The mano a mano also proves Justin's proposal wasn't an impulsive decision in the middle of a vacation.

We broke the story ... Justin proposed to Hailey Saturday at a resort in the Bahamas. Hailey, obviously, said yes ... and was flashing her engagement ring all day Sunday.

Justin referenced those Christian values that so impressed his father-in-law-to-be when he posted an open love letter to Hailey. The super romantic message was really his first public declaration about Hailey since they reunited.

It's interesting, Justin got the go-ahead from Stephen sometime in June, and, as we've seen, the couple's been inseparable since their PDA-filled Miami weekend on June 10.

Here's the reality ... Selena Gomez will be asked A LOT about Justin Bieber's engagement to Hailey Baldwin, but she's all warmed up and ready to respond ... with a cold shoulder.

Photogs caught Bieber's ex Monday evening in NYC, and a pap asked if she had any comment on his weekend proposal to Hailey. That, or well-wishes ... either way.

More reality ... everyone, especially Beliebers, will judge a lot based on Selena's words -- or even just her facial reactions. So, go ahead and judge away.

She doesn't have much to say to photogs, but she does look preoccupied by her convo with a pal.

Justin Bieber will give his hometown strong consideration for the location of his wedding to Hailey Baldwin ... IF the town's mayor gets his way, and he has quite the incentive package.

Stratford, Ontario's mayor, Dan Mathieson, tells TMZ he'd LOVE it if Bieber hosted the wedding back home. First off, he's appealing to Justin's Canadian pride, but if that's not enough ... how 'bout free tickets to JB's fave local hockey team.

Mayor Mathieson's offering Hailey and Justin seats to watch the Stratford Warriors -- Justin's got 'em tatted on his shoulder -- if they tie the knot in winter. If they opt for a summer affair, Mathieson says he'll guarantee Bieber a spot in the town's annual Summer Music festival ... although that sounds like more of a win for the city.

As for the wedding guests -- they'll all get discounted admission to Justin Bieber's exhibit, "Steps to Stardom," at the Stratford Perth Museum.

Swag aside, hizzoner told us Justin knows the locals will respect his privacy -- as they always do -- if he gets hitched there. Plus, he has a lot of family in the area ... and Hailey's fam isn't too far away in NY.

Justin Bieber just broke his silence on his engagement to Hailey Baldwin ... and JB held nothing back in describing his emotions.

Justin basically wrote an open love letter to his fiancée, saying ... "I am soooo in love with everything about you! So committed to spending my life getting to know every single part of you loving you patiently and kindly."

He also talked religion and about having a family of his own, saying, "I promise to lead our family with honor and integrity letting Jesus through his Holy Spirit guide us in everything we do and every decision we make."

As for when they'll get married ... our bet is it'll be the 7th of some month. Justin points out, "We got engaged on the seventh day of the seventh month, the number seven is the number of spiritual perfection."

JB's words struck all the right chords with Hailey, who responded online a few minutes after his post.

Hear the one about the Jonas Bros -- formerly of purity ring fame -- running into a porn star at the altar? Well, you're about to, 'cause Mary Carey's Cuban wedding got super random.

The ex-porn star and Dr. Joseph Brownfield had their wedding celebration in Havana and, while partying at a restaurant called La Guarida ... in walked Nick and Kevin Jonas!

Turns out all 3 Jo Bros have been in Cuba too, and just happened to be dining in a separate part of the restaurant. Kev and Nick posed for this shot with the happy couple. Joe abstained.

We're told Nick and Kevin weren't there long, and managed to dodge any wedding singer duties.

Justin Bieber got challenged to a dance off by some little kid and the Biebs happily responded ... with his new fiancée, Hailey Baldwin, front and center watching it all go down.

Justin and Hailey kept celebrating their engagement Sunday with a bunch of locals at Nipper's Beach Bar & Grill in the Bahamas. They had already danced their little hearts out on the beach ... but kicked things up a notch with a huge crowd.

Look closely ... Hailey's wearing her massive rock, which she adjusts while holding a drink. Justin's so pumped up after accepting the dance challenge he gets the entire crowd amped up too.

Justin Bieber appears to have spared no expense for Hailey Baldwin's engagement ring ... 'cause that thing is HUGE.

The newly engaged couple was seen hanging out at Nippers Bar & Grill in the Bahamas the day after he proposed to her Saturday night, and she was flashing her new hardware.

Hailey's wearing a fat diamond ring on THAT finger in the open, and we gotta say ... it looks like a hell of a rock. Hard to say exactly how big it is, but there's no question the ring is sizable. They danced their hearts out on the beach in celebration ... so it'd seem she digs it.

We broke the story ... Justin got on bended knee for Hailey in front of guests at the resort they're staying at while vacationing in the Bahamas. Cameras were forbidden during the special moment ... for which, of course, she said yes.

Selena Gomez, meanwhile, doesn't seem to have a care in the world about the news. She's living it up in New York ... on a boat ... laying out in the sun and whatnot.
