Pattie Mallette, born April 2, 1975, in Stratford, Ontario, is widely recognized as Justin Bieber’s mother, but her story is one of remarkable resilience. After losing her sister at age 2 and enduring a childhood filled with abse and truma, Pattie faced struggles with substance use and legal troubles by 14. At 17, following a suicide attempt, she found faith and began to rebuild her life.

At 18, Pattie gave birth to Justin, raising him as a single mother in low-income housing with support from her parents. Despite the challenges, she nurtured Justin’s love for music, leading to his discovery through online videos after entering him in a local talent competition in 2007.

In her 2012 autobiography, Nowhere But Up, Pattie shares her journey of faith, perseverance, and motherhood. Though Justin’s fame strained their relationship at times, they have reconciled, and Pattie celebrates his maturity and deepening faith, often expressing pride in his growth and character.

Pattie’s story is a testament to overcoming adversity and embracing grace, inspiring countless others with her journey of hope and resilience.
