Justin Bieber shocked his avid fans when he canceled his Purpose World Tour concert series. The former boyfriend of Selena Gomez has become heavily involved with Hillsong Church in recent months, which pushed fans to speculate that the religious organization could have possibly influenced the singer’s decision.

Now, recent reports are claiming that the “Sorry” singer is dating Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr. The duo sparked romance rumors as they were often spotted together lately.

Is the Canadian superstar dating a Hillsong pastor?

MediaTakeOut made a half-baked claim on Monday, August 21, when it published a story with a screaming headline: MTO SHOCKER: Justin Bieber Is Photo’d Out… Looking ALL LOVED UP With His ‘PASTOR’… If We Didn’t Know Better… We’d Say They Were LOVERS!!!” The publication claimed that Justin Bieber was snapped kissing Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr.

outside a New York church.

The news outlet even shared a clip of Bieber and Wilkerson playing around while they are soaked in the water. Reports have it that the said video was taken more than a few months ago in Dubai.

Because of this, fans cannot help but wonder if Justin Bieber and Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr. are really just friends. While the photos and videos leaking on social media suggest that they have already developed a very intimate relationship with each other, Gossip Cop claimed that there is nothing malicious about their closeness.

GC even revealed that Bieber is close to a number of church leaders such as Judah Smith and Carl Lentz. The news outlet even added that Pastor Wilkerson and Lentz are already married.

This is not the first time that MediaTakeOut published a very similar story suggesting that Jay-Z was gay by the way he exited of an eating place. Therefore, avid fans of Justin Bieber should quit linking the 23-year-old singer with Pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr.

‘Baby’ hitmaker unfriended Floyd Mayweather

Meanwhile, TMZ reported that Justin Bieber’s pals at Hillsong have advised him to weed out all the bad influences on his life.

Though the church pastors did not single out Floyd Mayweather, the young singer reportedly decided to distance himself from the American professional boxer and promoter.

An unnamed source told the publication that Bieber wanted to “reset boundaries,” which led him to unfollow Mayweather on Instagram. After learning the news, the five-division world champion reportedly called his then-friend a traitor.

TMZ added that this could be the main reason why Justin Bieber told one of its photographers that Floyd Mayweather might not be able to defeat Conor McGregor at their upcoming fight on August 25 at 9 p.m. ET. Stay tuned for more news and updates!
