Adorable: Last year, Bieber paid tribute to his father on Instagram on Father’s Day when he shared another throwback photo

Despite being raised by his mother, Patti Mallette, 46, the Baby singer has cultivated a strong relationship with his father over the years.

Last year, Bieber paid tribute to his father on Instagram on Father’s Day when he shared another throwback photo. In the snap, Justin is a baby who is being cradled in his father’s arms.

Jeremy glances down at his infant son and caresses his face. Justin captioned the post, ‘Happy Father’s Day Dad! Sucks I can’t be with you today but grateful Bay, Jaxo, Ally and Jazzy get to spend time with you!! Xoxo have an AMAZING DAY!’

Like father, like son: Jeremy’s Instagram page frequently features photos of Justin both current and from his childhood. In March 2019, he shared the same picture that his son posted on his June 4th birthday but in black and white

Jeremy’s Instagram page frequently features photos of Justin both current and from his childhood. In March 2019, he shared the same picture that his son posted on his June 4th birthday but in black and white.

The former carpenter wrote in the caption, ‘Oldy but a goody’ and tagged his famous son. Jeremy and Patti were never married and separated a few months after Justin was born.

Following their split, Justin’s father began dating his ex-girlfriend Erin Wagner again and the couple had a daughter, Jazmyn, 13, and a son, Jaxon, 12.

However, Jeremy and Erin eventually separated and he married Chelsey Bieber in 2018. Jeremy became stepdad to Chelsey’s daughter from a previous relationship, Allie Rebelo, 13. The pair welcomed Bay, 2, later that year.

The Lonely hitmaker is close with all of his half-siblings. In another post shared by Jeremy, Justin can be seen in a yellow sweatsuit holding Bay with Jazmyn and Allie standing nearby. Justin’s wife, Hailey, 24, is smiling in the background.

‘These kids’ the patriarch wrote in the caption, adding a laughing crying emoji.

Fun times! Justin also enjoys vacationing with his dad. In one snap posted by Jeremy, the pop star is seen posing with his father and Jaxon in front of a pool

Justin also spends summer vacations with his dad. In one snap posted by Jeremy, the pop star is seen posing with his father and Jaxon in front of a pool. Justin is wearing blue swim trunks with his short-sleeve shirt unbuttoned, baring his six-pack abs.

Though they once had a distant relationship, the father-son duo seem to have grown closer than ever.

In 2015, Justin shared some advice that he had received from Jeremy. He told Billboard, ‘My dad told me this the other day. “Pride is your worst enemy. It’ll pull greatness out of you.” I just thought that’s so great, because he’s a prideful man — he has always known what’s best — and it has taken him this long to see that.’
