Her son became a world-famous celebrity, but his mother’s tragic past is worse than you can imagine

Pattie Mallette, born April 2, 1975, in Stratford, Ontario, is best known

as the mother of pop superstar Justin Bieber. Her life, however,

is a story of resilience. Tragically, Pattie lost her sister at age

Pattie gave birth to Justin at 18, raising him as a single mother in

low-income housing with support from her parents. Despite challenges, she nurtured Justin’s love for music,

entering him in the 2007 Stratford Star competition and posting his

performances online, leading to his global fame. Read more
