Justin Bieber's mom says Justin and Selena Gomez are 'great together'

Pattie Mallette is mother to one of the biggest young stars in the world, Justin Bieber. She may not approve of everything he does, but when it comes to his relationship with Selena Gomez, she couldn't be happier.

Mallette, 37, appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday to talk about her new memoir, Nowhere But Up. While on the show, she said Selena Gomez,20, is perfect for Justin, 18.

"How can you not like her? She's so sweet and she's good for him and they're great together," she told Ellen. "They're adorable."

While they have been subject to breakup rumors, Justin and Selena's relationship is much different from the relationship Pattie had at 18. She was 18 when she had the "As Long As You Love Me" singer. She called the relationship with Justin's dad "toxic"at the time of Justin's birth. Sshe added, though, that they are on friendly terms now and he has been a good father to Justin.

No doubt a proud mom, she said she couldn't even imagine Justin going through the same thing she did as a teen.
