Pattie Mallette is a Selena Gomez fan.
The mother of pop star Justin Bieber lavished the Bad Liar songstress, 25, with words of praise when she spoke with People Saturday as she served as a keynote speaker for an anti-human trafficking nonprofit in Los Angeles.
'If he loves her I love her and I've met her and we have a special bond so I think she's precious,' Mallette, 41, said at the Justice Speaks: Holiday Benefit Luncheon at the Wilshire Country Club.

Approval: Justin Bieber's mother Pattie Mallette, 41, said she feels she and her son's on-again, off-again love Selena Gomez share a 'special bond' in an interview with People on Saturday
Mallette told the publication that she couldn't 'really speak on their relationship,' as 'that's between them,' but she will 'support anything' in regards to her son, 23, who accompanied her to the event.
'I don't know so much about their personal relationship because he doesn't share a whole lot, but I love her,' Mallette said.
While the mother of the Love Yourself singer didn't get too specific, she tellingly said that 'anyone with real love in their life is more grounded,' seemingly another endorsement toward Justin's revived relationship with the Texas-born beauty, who he's been linked to sporadically over the past seven years.
Bieber and Selena, a source told the magazine, 'are great and very happy' as the year draws to a close, as they're seeking to carry on their romance in a 'low-key' manner their latest time together.

Mallette intimated that the bright glare of the show business spotlight can muddy the waters when it comes to relationships.
The magazine reported that Bieber carried a Bible with him to the event, which comes as no surprise as he's become closely associated with the burgeoning church Hillsong - he and Selena have attended services there together - and is close friends with the church's pastor, Carl Lentz.
Mallette said her son is '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. I feel like he's growing up and I'm really proud of him.'
Selena recently confirmed she and Justin had reunited in an interview with Billboard.
'I'm 25. I'm not 18, or 19, or 20,' she told the magazine of reconnecting with Justin. 'I cherish people who have really impacted my life.
'So maybe before, it could have been forcing something that wasn't right. But that doesn't mean caring for someone ever goes away.'
