Pattie Mallette, born on April 2, 1975, in Stratford, Ontario, is best known as the mother of pop superstar Justin Bieber. However, her life is a story of resilience. Tragically, Pattie lost her sister when she was just two years old, and her childhood was filled with abuse and trauma. By the age of 14, she was struggling with substance abuse, theft, and had been expelled from school. At 17, after a suicide attempt, she found faith and began rebuilding her life. Pattie gave birth to Justin at 18, raising him as a single mother in low-income housing with support from her parents.
