Justin Bieberhas had his parents' support throughout his career.

The pop star was born on March 1, 1994, to Jeremy Bieber and Pattie Mallette, who were both 18 at the time. They were never married and broke up a few months after their son was born. While Justin’s mother didn’t have more children, the “Sorry” singer has four siblings from his father: sisters Jazmyn, Allie and Bay, and brother Jaxon.

While Justin has been open about the ups and downs he experienced with his parents over the years, the Biebers seem to be a tight-knit group. The family has celebrated holidays together and spent time in Canada, which they’ve documented on social media.

In March 2024, Pattie celebrated Justin’s 30th birthday with a post on Instagram.

The singer has also said that family comes first. In 2019, while updating fans about his struggle with mental health, he said he was taking a step back from music to focus on himself, his marriage and eventually “be the father I want to be.”

Justin became a father for the first time when his wife,Hailey Bieber, gave birth to their son,Jack Blues Bieber, in the summer of 2024. The couple’s child also made Jeremy and Pattie grandparents for the first time.

From how they encouraged his singing career to how they’ve expanded their families, here’s everything to know about Justin Bieber’s parents.

Justin’s mother, Pattie, was born in 1975 in Ontario, and welcomed Justin when she was 18 years old. While Jeremy wasn’t as active in Justin’s upbringing when he was a child, Justin lived primarily with his mom, who toldThe New York Timesshe worked a number of low-paying office jobs to make ends meet.

“I grew up with not a lot of money,” Justin told the outlet in 2009. “We never owned a house. I want to buy my mom a house.”

According toBillboard, Pattie encouraged Justin’s musical talent at a young age, entering him in talent shows and posting his performances on YouTube, which is how he ultimately got discovered.

Justin’s dad, Jeremy Bieber, was also born in 1975 in Ontario. While he shares Justin with ex Pattie, he also is a father of four other children: He shares daughter Jazmyn and son Jaxon with ex Erin Wagner, and daughter Bay with his wife Chelsey Rebelo, as well as Chelsey’s daughter Allie from a previous relationship.

While Justin’s relationship with his father has experienced ups and downs over the years, the two have a strong bond. The singer told Billboard in 2015 that his father was “not in a place where he could raise a kid” when Justin was younger.

“He was immature. He left for like a year when I was about 4, went to British Columbia, came back on Father’s Day,” Justin recalled. “I remember my mom said, ‘If you’re going to be here, you have tobehere.’ There’s a misconception that he’s this deadbeat dad, but he has been in my life since. I was with him on weekends and Wednesdays.”

In February 2016, however, Justin toldGQthat he was “a lot closer to my dad than I am to my mom” at the time.

The singer opened up about his relationship with Jeremy again in December 2017, sharing a photo of the two on Instagram and writing, “I️ love continuing to get to know my father I️ love working through hard things to get to the good things..relationships are worth fighting forespecially with family!! Love you forever and always daddy!”

The “Peaches” singer is “honored” to be Jeremy’s son and praised his father in a 2022 post for Father’s Day. “Love you pops!” hecaptioned a throwback photo. “Happy Father’s Day! So much to look forward to. Best is still ahead of us! Honored to be your son.”

Justin also has a relationship with his stepmom, Chelsey Bieber

Chelsey Bieber (née Rebelo) is Justin’s stepmom. After dating Jeremy for several years,the two got engagedon Feb. 19, 2016, in St. Barths.

Justin celebrated his father’s pending nuptials at an engagement party in Toronto a few months later.Justin reportedly performed at the private partyand played piano. He laterserved as a groomsmanat Jeremy and Chelsey’s 2018 wedding.

And just like Justin,Chelsey is a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, frequently sharing photos of herself attending games with Jeremy and wearing team garb.

She’s also seen her stepson perform on tour. In March 2022, she shared a photo of Jeremy and their four children at one of Justin’s shows. “Let’s gooooooo @justinbieber 💜💜💜💜,” she captioned the shot.

While Pattie has supported Justin’s career, they were estranged for two years when Justin was in the press for poor public behavior.

In 2015, the pop star told Billboardthat their relationship was “pretty nonexisting.” He explained, “I was distant because I was ashamed. I never wanted my mom to be disappointed in me and I knew she was. We spent some time not talking, so it takes time to rebuild that trust. She’s living in Hawaii now, so it’s hard, but getting better. She’s an amazing woman and I love her.”

The mother-son duoreunited in January 2018for a vacation together, and Pattieshared a photo of the two in an embracewith a sweet caption.

“I’m so proud of the amazing young man you are, and the young man you are becoming,” she wrote. “I admire your character and integrity. You are maturing beautifully and wise beyond your years.”
