Justin Bieber’s relationship with mom Pattie Mallette had its ups and downs

Pattie Mallette, born in 1975, gave birth to Justin at the age of eighteen. Though Jeremy Bieber seems to have a close bond with his son now, Pattie was the active parent in Justin's life. She wrote about being a single mom in her book, Nowhere But Up: The Story of Justin Bieber’s Mom.

According to reports, Justin and his mom had a very close bond since he was young and still appears to maintain that bond. One childhood memory that Justin shared with the public is of him busking in the street to earn money so that he could go to Disney World Florida with his mother.

Pattie has also reportedly been a supportive force in propelling Justin's career, as she used to take him to talent shows and upload videos of him performing on YouTube. Justin's YouTube video performances were what helped him get discovered by Scooter Braun.

But, their relationship also had its difficult times. According to Entertainment Now, in a cover feature for Billboard in 2015, the Sorry singer admitted that he did not speak to his mom for a period from 2013 - 2015. During this time Bieber faced severe media and public scrutiny as well as legal issues.

He explained that it was because he was ashamed to have disappointed her:

"I was distant because I was ashamed. We spent some time not talking, so it takes time to rebuild that trust. She's living in Hawaii now, so it's hard, but getting better. She's an amazing woman and I love her."

According to People, in 2018, Pattie Shared a photo with Bieber on a vacation, indicating that everything was okay between them.
