Once upon a time, Justin Bieber and his mom, Pattie Mallette, were famously inseparable. But lately, the relationship between mother and son seems to have cooled down. Let’s dive into what might be behind Pattie’s notable absence from Justin’s life – and what fans speculate could be at the heart of this shift.
The whispers online suggest that Justin’s whirlwind romance and marriage to Hailey Bieber may be the reason Pattie’s been keeping a lower profile. It’s no secret that family dynamics can get complicated when new relationships take center stage, and with Justin’s all-in commitment to Hailey, it’s possible that Pattie has felt a bit sidelined.
Interestingly, the timeline of Pattie and Justin’s alleged rift aligns closely with Justin’s relationship with Hailey. Speculation has run rampant on social media that Pattie may have reservations about Hailey, though she’s remained mostly private about her thoughts. Shortly after Justin announced his engagement to Hailey, Pattie made a subtle but telling change on her social media profile. She quietly removed “Yes, Justin Bieber is my son” from her Twitter bio, a phrase that had been there for years. And as if to further pique interest, she liked a tweet cautioning against the dangers of rushing into marriage — a move fans saw as a potential hint at her feelings on Justin’s speedy engagement.
Adding to the drama, Pattie has been open about her admiration for Justin’s ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, and her support for Selena has stirred speculation among fans. Many noticed that Pattie hasn’t missed a beat in publicly praising Selena. One Twitter user even pointed out how odd it is that while Hailey’s father and Justin’s mother still follow Selena on social media, Hailey and Justin are publicly committed to each other. Some fans believe Pattie’s quiet gestures, like occasionally engaging with Selena-focused posts, might be her way of throwing subtle shade at Hailey.
There’s also been plenty of buzz around Pattie’s noticeable absence during major events in Justin’s life, and insiders suggest that she has her reasons. Pattie has a personal history with substance abuse that she’s spoken openly about, and rumors have surfaced that she’s concerned Justin might be slipping back into old habits. Over the years, Justin himself has been candid about his struggles with addiction, which led to some tumultuous years, including his infamous 2014 DUI arrest. After that incident, his relationship with Pattie hit a rough patch, and he later admitted to feeling closer to his father than his mother during that time. Justin revealed in a 2016 GQ interview that his bond with Pattie had frayed, in part because he didn’t want to be a disappointment to her, yet he later acknowledged that his actions did let her down.
Fast forward to today, and Pattie has remained remarkably quiet about her relationship with Justin. But her past experience has many speculating that she might have concerns about his lifestyle. Over the years, Pattie has been an advocate for sobriety, speaking openly about her journey to recovery after years of battling her own demons. Sources have suggested that she may have even approached Hailey in hopes of discussing her concerns about Justin’s choices, but rumors claim Hailey might have brushed her off.
Pattie’s own journey has been a difficult one, making her all the more sensitive to signs of struggle in her son. She battled substance abuse at a young age, finding herself in a spiral of partying and poor choices, but she was able to turn her life around thanks to a mentor in her community. Given this history, it’s easy to see why she might be extra vigilant when it comes to Justin’s well-being.
Despite these complicated dynamics, Pattie and Justin’s love for each other has always been clear, even through the ups and downs. Justin opened up in his documentary about how fame and pressure led him to struggle deeply, but ultimately, he credited his faith and support system with helping him back onto a healthier path. Although Justin has reportedly tried to address past issues, the distance between him and Pattie still raises questions.
With whispers about Justin’s recent public behavior – like appearing spaced out at Coachella and acting unusually at a Monaco event – some wonder if he’s truly maintaining his sobriety. The appearance of figures from his past, like a former acquaintance known for less-than-ideal influences, only fuels the rumor mill. Fans are left wondering if Pattie suspects Hailey’s presence may be enabling old habits, leading to their continued distance.
While there’s no clear answer to these speculations, one thing is certain: Pattie Mallette and Justin Bieber’s relationship has experienced many phases, and fans remain invested in whether they’ll reconnect. For now, all we can do is keep watching and wait for the next chapter in this ongoing family saga.
