Justin Bieber has celebrated his first Thanksgiving as a “married man”, having confirmed his marriage to model Hailey Baldwin in a candid Instagram post on Friday.

The pop singer wished his 102m followers a happy Thanksgiving, adding that he is trying to be more patient and kind, like Jesus Christ.

First Thanksgiving as a married man, first time hosting Thanksgiving,” the 24-year-old wrote in a caption accompanying a picturesque photograph of what appears to be redwood trees, which are native to Northern California.

“First time both sides of the family has come together,” he continued.

“Relationships are hard and love isn’t always easy but thank you Jesus for showing me how!

“Every day is a learning process, trying to be more like him, patient, kind, selfless, boy I got a long way! But gods grace is sufficient ! [sic]”.

The Canadian musician is thought to have tied the knot with Baldwin in September in a small civil ceremony in Los Angeles, California.

The marriage was unofficially confirmed last week when the young model changed her name to “Hailey Rhode Bieber” on Instagram.

Bieber himself contributed to rumours that the two had indeed exchanged vows by writing, "My wife is awesome,” in a caption on Instagram to accompany a photo of the pair holding hands, with Baldwin writing: "That's my babe" in a comment underneath.

Thanksgiving also marked Baldwin’s 22nd birthday, which Bieber’s mother, Pattie Mallette, acknowledged on Twitter, writing: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY @haileybaldwin !! I LOVE YOU!! I’m SO #THANKFUL to have you as a daughter!!!”

Following a brief romance from December 2015 to January 2016, Baldwin and Bieber began dating again in May 2018.

Bieber announced their engagement in July.
