“Happy birthday to my beautiful mama in law,” she captioned a selfie shared on her Instagram Stories on April 3, per People. “Having another amazing mom is all anyone could ask for.”

The news comes as rumours continued to spread online that there was trouble in paradise for the famous pair.

Hailey first refuted the divorce speculation on her Instagram Stories in March when she wrote: “Just FYI the stories and constant ‘blind items’ I see on TikTok are 100 per cent of the time wrong made out of thin air … Come from the land of delusion …” she wrote, as reported by People. “So I know it may be fun feeding into these stories but just know they’re always false xx sorry to spoil it.”

Hailey, 27, and Justin’s mum Pattie Mallette, 49, often show affection for one another on social media. Of course Mallette also shares photos of herself with her pop star son – though the pair have had their ups and downs over the years.

While Mallette didn’t have any other children after Justin, Jeremy did. Per People, he had a daughter Jazmyn and son Jaxon with his ex Erin Wagner, and welcomed daughter Bay in 2018 with his new wife Chelsey Rebelo. Rebelo also has a daughter named Allie from a previous relationship. Jeremy married Rebelo in 2016, and Justin, who is now her stepson, served as a groomsman at the pair’s nuptials.
