As I delve into this heartwarming tale of Justin Bieber and his father, Jeremy, it truly warms my heart to see a family reconnecting and growing stronger over time. It’s not every day we witness such transformative journeys, especially when they involve famous figures like the Biebers.


At a young age, Justin Bieber found himself under the public spotlight, making him a classic illustration of a child prodigy in need of his parents’ support and guidance.

As Justin Bieber’s career was skyrocketing, his mother Pattie Mallette confessed that it was challenging for her to sign his legal papers and make decisions on his behalf, feeling overwhelmed and unsure about the depth of these responsibilities.

During her teenage years, Pattie, who had her son just prior to her 19th birthday at a home for young mothers, has openly shared about her challenging relationship with her son’s father, Jeremy. Unlike the ideal father figure, Jeremy wasn’t particularly supportive during Justin’s crucial developmental stages.

Jeremy is often referred to as a “lackadaisical father” who reappeared in Justin’s life only after his success, but Pattie, his ex-partner, has defended him by stating that he made efforts to improve himself as a father prior to their son achieving fame.

She acknowledges, nonetheless, that Jeremy faced difficulties with substance addiction, spent time in prison on the day Justin was born, and was intermittently present in his life as he grew up following his departure at infancy, leaving behind all their belongings.

This week, Jeremy’s parenting choices have once more become a topic of discussion, as it was disclosed that he manages an Instagram account featuring swimsuit photos of his six-year-old sister, drawing in numerous male admirers and inappropriate comments.

It’s not surprising that some fans ponder whether Justin might have followed a different path if his father had provided him with more consistent guidance throughout his career.

In 2008, when Justin first signed his record deal, he could have exposed himself to some of the music industry’s most harmful and exploitative figures. Recently, his friendship with P Diddy is under fresh examination due to accusations involving sex trafficking and racketeering charges against the rapper.

A little over a year since joining Island Records, a then 15-year-old Justin Bieber spent an memorable, unchaperoned 48 hours at Diddy’s residence. During this time, they reportedly engaged in wild, energetic activities that have become notorious, often referred to as ‘going all out’.

Fans have now questioned why his parents didn’t intervene. However, when Jeremy was in contact with his son, he too led him astray.  

In 2014, Jeremy directed Justin (who was 19 at the time) in an illegal drag race on a residential street, driving a Lamborghini while apparently intoxicated by alcohol and drugs. This incident led to Justin’s arrest.

Approximately two years after the event, fans expressed their revulsion when Jeremy boasted about his son’s genitalia on social media platforms, following the release of nude pictures involving Justin.

In contrast to many families where fathers support their teenage sons financially, it was Justin who took on that role and supported Jeremy, providing him with a monthly living allowance of $50,000. Unfortunately, Jeremy tended to squander this money on extravagant parties filled with alcohol.

Regardless of past issues, the pop star has consistently yearned for a close, intimate bond with his father.

He’s spoken about how he became closer to his father than his mother, and maintains a relationship with Jeremy’s children, his half siblings.

Here, TopMob delves into the complex relationship between father and son.

Jeremy’s life before Justin was born

In 1994, when I was still a teenager myself, Justin, whom Jeremy and Pattie were carrying, was yet to be born. It wasn’t until we had just graduated from high school that we realized we were nurturing the future king of pop within us.

The two unmarried young individuals ended their romantic involvement only a couple of months following the birth of Justin, indicating they had no long-term commitment.

Some gossips suggested that Jeremy struggled with addictions, participated in underground fight clubs, and engaged in mixed martial arts competitions.

At age 22, Jeremy served time in prison because he failed to abide by the probation conditions set for him.

On the day his son was born, Jeremy found himself in the county jail due to a brawl – he stayed behind bars for the initial 11 days of Justin’s life.

At the moment when Justin was born, there wasn’t an officially recorded account of Jeremy’s imprisonment – as prison records in Canada are erased following a specific duration.

However, he also has a history of other criminal charges. Back in 1997, he was found guilty of assault and received a 90-day jail term as punishment.

Two years down the line, he ended up spending an additional 21 days behind bars due to breaching his probation terms. Simultaneously, he was found guilty of another probation violation as well.

Then in January 2004 he was charged with assault again, but the case was dismissed.

In 2012, Pattie provided a comprehensive account of her relationship with Jeremy in her memoir titled Nowhere But Up: The Journey of Justin Bieber’s Mother.

At fifteen, Pattie experienced rape at the hands of a peer she had met at a party. This unfortunate incident took place just prior to her four-year relationship with Jeremy, who later became Justin’s father. She acknowledges that this relationship, which was on and off, was fated to fail from its inception.

By the age of 16 Jeremy was already attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, but found it hard to stick to the 12-step program and would fly into a rage when drunk and accuse her of cheating.

Looking back, I can’t help but reflect on the tumultuous four-year rollercoaster that was our love story, a dance of on-again, off-again that left me breathless yet drained. It seemed we were constantly ensnared in a web of manipulative mind games and haunted by the ghosts of insecurities past, suffocating any chance at genuine connection.

At the age of seventeen, she attempted suicide by walking into the path of an approaching truck, following a heated argument with Jeremy, who had threatened to reveal her deepest, hidden truths.

At that instant, all I could perceive was a menacing sound echoing deeply within me. All I experienced was an overwhelming, complete darkness, she expressed.

Fortunately, the driver managed to avoid a potentially fatal accident by swiftly changing direction, thus preserving her life. Despite this, she was hospitalized at Stratford General Hospital’s psychiatric unit. It was during this stay that she experienced a profound connection with God for the first time.

Following her discharge from the hospital, she made every effort to steer clear of her former wild social life, yet an unexpected surprise awaited her.

At a routine gynecologists appointment, Pattie discovered she was pregnant with Jeremy’s baby.

Her mother told her she was done raising children, and Pattie had to leave home.

Jeremy throughout Justin’s early life

During Justin’s younger days, it seems that Jeremy visited infrequently as they resided together under the care of his mother Pattie.

During various stages of his life, Jeremy took the time to instruct Justin on playing songs with a guitar. This instruction might have sparked Justin’s enthusiasm for music.

In later years, Justin often recalled the significant, though modest, influence his father exerted on his life through their encounters.

He said: ‘I have a great relationship with my dad. When I was younger, he taught me how to play some songs on the guitar, like ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’ by Bob Dylan.

‘He taught me how to drive, too. He’s cool.’

In 2015, Justin stated that Jeremy hadn’t been present for an entire year when Justin himself was only four years old.

He told Billboard: ‘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 frequently justifies his father’s upbringing approach, emphasizing that he spent more time with him than most people believe.

Growing up, the music sensation used to live with his mom Pattie, and he once mentioned that Jeremy took care of Justin on Saturdays and Wednesdays.

Prior to their separation, Jeremy and Patty had become engaged following a series of years marked by their on-again, off-again romance.

While they were engaged, Jeremy resided once more in Patty’s apartment, and the three of them became deeply affectionate towards each other, forming a small but cherished family unit.

However, Pattie promptly ended the planned marriage when she discovered once more that Jeremy was unfaithful. This revelation caused her to cancel the engagement.

One day, after discovering that Jeremy had been unfaithful, Pattie returned to her apartment to find it completely emptied out.

She recalled in her memoir: ‘I came back to my apartment the next day. It was practically empty. Jeremy had taken all the furniture out of the house, leaving Justin and me with just a television. ‘

Jeremy throughout Justin’s teens

Jeremy’s little play in Justin’s had a part to play in his path to a whirlwind life of fame.

After only a year under the contract with Island Records, a then 15-year-old Justin Bieber had an unforgettable 48-hour visit at the residence of rapper Diddy. During this time, their behavior was quite wild and energetic, which is often referred to as “going buck wild.

Sean Diddy Combs has now been charged with a host of sex trafficking and racketeering offenses with upwards of 120 alleged victims already coming forward, with the rapper’s relationships with Usher and Justin coming under renewed scrutiny in the wake of the allegations. Diddy denies the claims. 

As a proud new dad to baby Jack Blues alongside his wife Hailey, Justin reportedly finds the accusations against Diddy distasteful and wishes to have no association with him.

Concerns have been expressed regarding why these caring parents would expose their sole child to such a precarious situation, enabling Sean Combs (Diddy) to assume a nurturing role towards him instead.

According to reliable sources, it was inappropriate for Justin to socialize with Diddy or any others when he was still a teenager. (or)

They claim he was ‘thrown to the wolves’ by his mother and largely absent father.

At the point in question, there was no indication that Justin’s parents, Usher, or Reid were aware of the suspected illegal activities attributed to Diddy.

During his upbringing, Justin lived with his mom, but they had a strained relationship for about two years due to Justin’s negative public actions that attracted media attention.

The celebrity openly admitted to Billboard that their relationship with someone was essentially non-existent, and they deliberately kept their distance from their mother due to feelings of shame towards themselves.

Over this period, it appears that Justin grew particularly close to his father. In an interview with GQ back in 2016, he stated that he was more bonded with his father compared to his mother at that moment.

Yet, prior to Justin and Jeremy mending their relationship, much that transpired suggests the true nature of Justin as a father.

In 2011, when Justin was just 16-years-old, he and Jeremy got matching tattoos on their ribs. 

On their torso’s left side, the duo bears an engraving that is commonly recognized as Yeshua, a name believed by many to be Jesus’ original Hebrew or Aramaic designation.

The name Yeshua frequently appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe Joshua the High Priest. 

During Justin’s arrest at the drag race, it was observed that he was deeply emotional and shedding tears, wearing an orange prison uniform, as the full gravity of his predicament became clear to him.

19-year-old Justin was found to have consumed alcohol under the legal age, which is 21 years in Florida, along with his companion Jeremy the previous night.

According to reports, Jeremy allegedly organized for his group to park their vehicles on the street, effectively creating a barrier, allowing the race to take place.

A day following Justin’s release on a $2,500 bail, photos emerged showing the father-son duo enjoying themselves at a party.

On the 31st of January, 2015, once more, Jeremy found himself there when his son faced charges for using marijuana on a private plane and being verbally aggressive towards a flight attendant.

In March 2014, photos emerged of Justin’s father, a former inmate, enjoying a party at a lavish villa purchased by his famous offspring. Interestingly, this same son was also providing him with a substantial monthly allowance of $50,000 and a humorous costume consisting of a grass skirt and wig.

At a typical extravagant event hosted on his $850,000 ranch in Stratford, Canada, Jeremy was captured in photographs.

He frequently hosted parties with alcohol at his home, and on occasion, Justin joined these gatherings too.

Following the leak of Justin’s nude pictures on the internet in 2016, Jeremy made a joke about his son’s penis size by tweeting “My boy” with a cactus emoji.

Nowadays

In 2015, Justin had shared with Billboard that his father wasn’t able to provide the care required for raising a child at that time. However, now, Justin has developed a more robust relationship with Jeremy.

The star added: ‘He was immature. He left for like a year when I was about four, went to British Columbia, came back on Father’s Day.’

Even though Justin was without him for a significant part of his younger years, it’s been verified that the star has played an active role in his life starting around when he was five years old.

Justin clarified: “My mom once told me, ‘If you’re staying around, you need to commit fully.’ It’s important to note that he’s often been mistaken as an absentee father, but in reality, he’s been a part of my life regularly. I spent weekends and Wednesdays with him.

Frequently, you can find them both showcased on each other’s Instagram feeds, and in December 2017, Justin publicly expressed his affection towards his father, sharing insights into their strengthening bond.

He added: ‘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 for especially with family!! Love you forever and always daddy!’

According to Pattie, it’s not true as some stories suggest, that Jeremy reappeared only after Justin achieved fame; instead, this is a point she made clear in her memoir.

She remarked, ‘Jeremy is almost unrecognizable compared to when Justin was an infant. He’s transformed in numerous positive ways, with fatherhood now being his top priority. This dedication is plainly seen in how he devotes himself full-time to his two younger children and Justin. I take great pride in witnessing the wonderful father he has become.’

In a heartfelt Father’s Day message in the year 2022, Justin expressed: “I love you Dad! Happy Father’s Day! There’s so much excitement for our future. The best days are yet to come! Proud to be your son.

As a devoted father, I am blessed with not just one but five beautiful kids. My ex-partner, Erin Wagner, and I share two wonderful souls, our daughter Jazmyn and son Jaxon. With my current partner, Chelsey Rebelo, we have another precious daughter named Bay. Each of them brings a unique sparkle to my life.

He is also stepdad to Chelsey’s daughter Allie from a previous relationship.

Jeremy and Chelsey tied the knot in 2016 and Justin served as a groomsman at the pair’s nuptials.

In June 2023, once more making news, Jeremy shared a controversial tweet regarding Pride Month.

The post read: ‘Don’t forget to thank a straight person this month for your existence’.

He later apologised for the tweet as he explained: ‘My post was to acknowledge families, that’s it! and before you say I abandoned my son, move on! that’s an old narrative pushed!

‘Its ridiculous and didn’t happen. Now my delivery may have been poor but it was not to be hateful or homophobic.’

In the opening of her memoir, Pattie described her relationship with Jeremy as exceptionally challenging during their childhood years prior to Justin’s arrival. However, she asserted that Justin underwent a significant transformation compared to his earlier self.

In our shared past, Jeremy and I experienced a challenging dynamic. At the time, I was still learning life’s lessons, and he was no exception. We were both navigating youth and immaturity in those days.

Additionally, it’s important for you to understand that, much like myself, Jeremy has evolved too. He’s no longer the same person he used to be. I take great pride in his transformation, both as an individual and a father. Nowadays, I count him among my friends.
