There's someone new in Justin Bieber's life!

Although E! News exclusively learned that the "Love Yourself" crooner reunited with Chantel Jeffries for a private date night only a few weeks ago, it seems the Biebs has taken to someone new: Sahara Ray.

Justin and Sahara were spotted skinny-dipping while on vacation in Hawaii this week, so we thought we'd get to know his new pal a little better. Here are five things to know about Justin's new pal:

1. Sahara was born in Australia but raised in Los Angeles where she would grow up to become a swimsuit model.

2. The blond bombshell attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in L.A.—the same place Amanda Bynes enrolled in to earn her degree.

3. If you're familiar with surfing at all, you might recognize her as Australian surfing legend Tony Ray's daughter! She followed in her dad's footsteps for a while, but at 16 she swapped her surfboard for some fashion sketches.

4. At one point Sahara was romantically linked to Cody Simpson, Gigi Hadid's ex-boyfriend and Justin's old touring partner.

5. Sahara put her FIDM degree to good use by creating her own swimwear line, Sahara Ray Swim.

There's no saying whether these two are just friends or something more, but now you know all about the new lady he's hanging out with!
