Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez
were linked together for years. But now the era of Jelena seems to have ended,
with Bieber parading in his birthday suit and skinny-dipping with a new gal
pal. Sahara Ray, known as a swimwear supermodel, has even shared nude photos of her own on Instagram,
pointed out Refinery29.
With
rumors swirling that Justin has replaced Selena with Sahara, the inside skinny
on the model has emerged. Born in Australia, she is the daughter of Tony Ray,
famed as a surfer. But even though those pictures of Sahara and Bieber in the
water are what intrigues everyone, she’s not known as a surfer herself.
In
addition to earning fame as a supermodel, Ray has become a designer. Justin’s
new gal pal does double-duty as a bathing suit model and owner/creative
director/designer of Sahara Ray Swim. And she’s active on Instagram, sharing
various nude photos as well as a group picture with Bieber.
As for her romantic relationship
history? While Justin has been linked to various women since splitting from
Selena, including Hailey Baldwin and Kourtney Kardashian, Ray most recently was
involved with a former Bieber tour mate, Cody Simpson. (Cody is the former
boyfriend of Gigi Hadid.)
But
although Sahara’s previous romantic relationship
didn’t exactly garner international attention, her new association with Justin
has, pointed out the Daily
Beast.

Ray already has earned some fame in her own
right through her swimwear line and Instagram photo following. At only 23, the
sizzling hot model takes pride in showing off stylish items from her designer
line. She learned the art of fashion through courses at the Fashion Institute
of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles .And although Sahara does not have
fame that equals Bieber, she has become a social media power, with a million
followers.
It takes a certain amount of
courage and boldness to date someone with the fame of the Biebs, but her father
is famed for those qualities, ranking as one of the first surfing professionals
to survive solely on his skills. Ray initially did have a plot to become a
surfing pro just like her dad. However, at 16, Justin’s new gal pal made the
decision to carve out her own path by choosing the fashion world instead.
Sahara
and Bieber reportedly became involved because she maintained a friendship with
Cody after they dated. No cheating rumors there, though, because Simpson and
Ray did not begin dating until after he ended his own romance with Gigi.

Now that Sahara has segued to a relationship
with Justin, what can fans expect? Bieber and his supermodel sweetheart share a
passion for working hard and playing hard. She has even described herself as
qualifying as a “workaholic” because of her multi-tasking talents as both a
model and swimwear designer.Fortunately for Bieber, however, Ray’s work
involves being photographs with minimal (or zero) attire in beautiful locales.
One of her favorite places just happens to be Hawaii, the scene of Justin’s
skinny-dipping with the model.
“Every winter I would spend three months on
the north shore of Hawaii with my dad,” recalled Sahara. “He was a professional
surfer, so I used to travel all over the world with him while he was competing
in the Pipe Masters and big wave competitions.”
But when it comes to her ultimate dream
residence and future (are you listening, Biebs?), the model has listed
Australia. And Bieber’s new gal pal also wants to have children there.
“Australia is where I want to end up and I
want to have kids here. It’s more chilled and relaxed,” she said.
“Even on shoots, it’s
more about quality than quantity.”
Now, with both Justin and Sahara enjoying the
lifestyle of a single-and-free-to-mingle celebrity together, will fans of the
attractive couple come up with a nickname for them, such as Jahara, to replace
Jelena?
