”Hello! Is it me you’re looking for?” is a question Lionel Richie would probably answer in the negative, if Justin Bieber ever asked for the singer’s permission to date his 17-year-old daughter.
On Friday the duo finally made things Instagram official with a series of posts, indicating that they might have an “Endless Love” cuddle sesh in their future.
Bieber was the first to fuel the relationship rumors with a photo of himself smiling next to Richie in the back seat of a car. Of course, to keep it extra mysterious, he left the Instagram sans caption.
Bieber later shared a more intimate image of the two in a hotel room, with the pop star appearing shirtless and wearing his signature Calvin Klein underwear. Richie dabs in the foreground, staring down the camera.

An hour later, the soon-to-be-18-year-old reciprocated the gesture with a photo of Bieber looking shockingly adorable wearing a goofy octopus-shaped hat on an empty street in Tokyo.
