15 Times Justin Bieber And His Mom Were The Cutest 

Are Justin and Pattie patching up their rocky relationship?

Although Justin Bieber is slowly winning over our hearts with his new music and image, his relationship with his mom remains a mystery. Last month, the singer admitted in a

Billboard interview that his mom had moved to Hawaii and cut off most communication with him after an especially tough year, which included Bieber going to jail and police raiding his house.

Bieber said last month that his relationship with his mom was “pretty nonexisting” during this rough patch, telling the mag: “I was distant because I was ashamed. I never wanted my mom to be disappointed in me and I knew she was. 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.”

But recently it looks like Justin and his mom are starting to repair their bond.

Justin closed out the 2015 American Music Awards on Sunday night, performing a medley of “What Do You Mean,” “Where Are Ü Now” and “Sorry” and ending his set hunched over and dripping from the theatrical rain pouring down. The performance definitely fit as a showstopping finale, and it seemed like Bieber’s mom, Pattie Mallette, couldn’t be prouder.

Good job @justinbieber! You were born for this. You shine so bright. Thank you for sharing ur gifts! #SoProud love love love xoxo Mama

Last week, a few days after her son released his Purpose album, she also made sure to send him some support.

Which just goes to prove — even if Justin and Pattie aren’t in the same place (either physically or mentally), they’ll always be there for each other. Let’s take a look back at their adorable come-up.
