“THANK THE LORD WHAT A MIRACLE!,” she said of her first grandchild.
Mallette’s excitement over the birth of her grandchild has landed her in hot water in the past, with the 49-year-old accidentally spurring rumours that the Biebers were expecting twins with a public message to Hailey’s father, Stephen Baldwin.
