'She makes me feel some type of way': Justin Bieber confesses his big crush on Kelly Ripa, 44, as he posts throwback bikini photo of her

He's dated ladies relatively in the same age range but his real woman crush is actually twice his age.

On Tuesday, Justin Bieber revealed he's had his eye on his dream girlfriend: Kelly Ripa.

The single 21-year-old bad boy of pop shared a throwback lingerie photo of the 44-year-old daytime talk show host on his Instagram account along with the caption: 'She makes me feel some type of way.'

Another shocking incident that got fans in a frenzy was the photo of his bare backside on his Instagram account.

He has since deleted the snap from his official social media pages, but that did not stop Beliebers from taking a screen shot.

Justin apologized for his nudie pic with a heartfelt explanation writing: 'I deleted the photo of my butt on Instagram not because I thought it was but someone close to me's daughter follows me.

'I totally wasn't thinking in that aspect. And I felt awful that she felt bad. To anyone I may have offended I'm so sorry. It was completely pure hearted as a joke but didn't take in account there are littles following me!'
