Justin Bieber’s mom, Pattie Mallette, had nothing but good things to say about her son’s on again off again girlfriend, Selena Gomez.

While speaking with People at the Justin Speaks Holiday Benefit Luncheon in Los Angeles on Saturday, Mallette admitted that Bieber doesn’t share a lot of personal things about him and Gomez.

But based on what she knows of Gomez and how the singer is towards Bieber’s mom, Mallette said that she supports whatever it is that’s going on between the two.

“I support anything he does, if he loves her I love her, and I’ve met her and we have a special bond so I think she’s precious. I can’t really speak on their relationship, that’s between them,” she said.

Unfortunately, Mallette did not say exactly whether or not Bieber and Gomez are officially back together, but she did not say that her son cares deeply for the “Wolves” singer.

Rumors about Bieber and Gomez getting back together started swirling a couple of months ago after the two were spotted hanging out. Gomez just underwent kidney transplant and reunited with Bieber. Around the same time, she and The Weeknd called things off.

Last month, a source said that Bieber and Gomez have decided to keep their relationship as low-key as possible. “They are great and very happy. It just got too crazy last week with all the attention,” the source told People.

The same insider said that Bieber wants to keep focusing on himself and his growth because this was the reason why he cancelled his tour. “Justin cancelled his tour to take care of his mental health and he want to continue to focus on this. He didn’t like the chaos,” the source said.

Mallette’s mom seconded the unnamed source’s statement from last month during her interview on Saturday. She also said that Bieber’s main focus is on God.

“I think he’s just keeping his focus on God, and really trying to figure out what counts and what matters. I think he’s trying to be somehow normal in such an abnormal world, trying to find that balance,” she said.
