Billie Eilish’s Mom Thanks Justin Bieber For ‘One of the Most Touching Moments Ever’ After ‘One Less Lonely Girl’ Coachella Serenade of Daughter

Maggie Baird gushed about watching the "crazy unimaginable dream" of Billie and Justin becoming friends in a sweet Instagram post on Sunday (April 19).

Everybody, even huge pop stars, has that one person they would absolutely lose it over if they met them in person. For a long time, Billie Eilish had Justin Bieber at the top of her list. But now they’ve become friendly and, in case you missed it, over the weekend, Bieber, 32, made Eilish’s tween dreams come true when he invited his self-proclaimed superfan onto the stage to serenade her with his 2009 song “One Less Lonely Girl.”

It was clear from the hugs and laughter that Eilish, 24, was having the time of her life, and her mom, Maggie Baird, confirmed it in a sweet Instagram note honoring the special relationship between her daughter and Justin.
