PATTIE Mallette welcomed Justin Bieber at a young age.

Throughout the years, the mom of the pop superstar has opened up about her life and past struggles.

Who is Justin Bieber’s mom, Pattie Mallette?

Pattie Mallette was born on April 2, 1975, in Stratford, Canada.

The 48-year-old had a difficult childhood, which she discussed in her 2012 autobiography, Nowhere But Up.

She opened up about experiencing sexual abuse.

According to Cosmopolitan, she said in her book: “I was sexually violated so many times that as the years went by it began to feel normal.

“It’s a strange marriage — knowing something is wrong yet at the same time finding it familiar and commonplace.”

Mallette then used drugs and alcohol in high school, a subject she talked about in a September 2012 Today interview with Kathie Lee Gifford. She also spoke about her suicide attempt.

She said that the attempt to take her own life was “a culmination of, you know, built up over the years with the abuse and the pain and at the time I was messed up with all the drugs and alcohol.

“I was in a depression and the drugs and alcohol kind of spurred that on some more.”

As Cosmopolitan noted, Mallette became a Christian following her suicide attempt.

When she was 17 years old, she became pregnant with now-29-year-old Justin Bieber. She told Gifford that at the time, she was encouraged to have an abortion.

The mom of one said: “I just knew I couldn’t. I just knew I couldn’t. I just know I had to keep him. And, do the best. I — you know, I didn’t know how I was going to do it. But I just knew that I couldn’t — I couldn’t abort.

“I had to do my best. I had to see what I could do. And I was determined to do whatever it took.”

As reported by ABC News, Mallette told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that she and her son lived in poverty.

When the pair relocated to Atlanta, Georgia to begin working on Bieber’s music career, Malette encouraged him not to forget how he was raised.

As per ABC News, she ended up completing her high school education and receiving college training in website design.

She then made enough money for her son “to nurture his growing interest in playing the drums, guitar, and singing.”

Mallette set Bieber’s career in motion by uploading videos of him singing R&B hits to YouTube.

According to the outlet, she told Vanity Fair in 2011: “I put up a little video on YouTube for Grandma and some relatives to see, and the next thing we knew, all these strangers were clicking onto it, probably because they recognized the song.

“It was ‘Oh look, honey, you have a hundred views,’ Then ‘Oh wow, a thousand views.’… Next thing we knew, thousands and thousands of views. But it never once occurred to me that there would be a music career out of this.”

Has Pattie Mallette ever been married?

It does not seem that Mallette has ever been married.

She shares Bieber with her ex Jeremy Bieber, but the pair never wed.

Cosmopolitan reported that the former couple has maintained a friendship.

According to the outlet, Mallette told Today: “We’re friends. We get along. I love the dad that he is to Justin today.”

It also reported that she told Ellen DeGeneres: “He’s a good dad and I consider him a friend.”

What is Pattie Mallette’s job and net worth?

Mallette works as a film producer, actor, and writer.

The author’s autobiography, Nowhere But Up, became a New York Times Best Seller.

According to her IMDb profile, she served as an executive producer for the 2012 movie, To Write Love on Her Arms, and for the 2011 short, Crescendo I.

Mallette appeared in the 2009 music video for Bieber’s hit song, One Less Lonely Girl.
