Justin Bieber‘s date for the 2012 American Music Awards was his mother Pattie Malette.  The two rocked the red carpet held at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on November 18 in Los Angeles.

The 18-year old won Favorite Pop/Rock Male Artist and Favorite Pop/Rock Album for his album Believe. The teen idol pulled his mother on stage to help him accept the top award of the night. “This is my mom,” he said. “She’s little, but she’s beautiful.”

Bieber also performed As Long As You Love Me before being joined on stage by Nicki Minaj to perform their joint hit “Beauty and the Beat.”
