Bieber's reunion with his mother comes just a few months after he revealed to Billboard that their relationship has been "pretty non-existing."

"I was distant because I was ashamed," he explained. "I never wanted my mom to be disappointed in me and I knew she was. We spent some time not talking, so it takes time to rebuild that trust."

The "Sorry" singer did add that their relationship was on the mend, and from the looks of this recent image, the mother-son duo are on the road to reconciliation. "She's living in Hawaii now, so it's hard, but getting better," he told Billboard. "She's an amazing woman and I love her."

Mallette gave birth to Bieber when she was 17 years old and wrote a best-selling book in 2012, Nowhere But Up, about her struggles. ET caught up with Mallette in February 2013, and she admitted that she wasn't always a fan of her superstar son's life choices, particularly, his multiple tattoos.
