Joleen who is, reportedly, a teacher at an elementary school has over 74,000 followers on her Instagram page at the time of writing this. She attributes her youthful look to early skincare, most importantly sunscreen and a derivative of Vitamin A. She further explained: "I rarely drink alcohol, I get a lot of rest, and eat a balanced, healthy diet." Image Credit: Instagram/@joleendiaz

Although the duo shares a strong bond, mother Joleen has drawn some lines between their relationship. She reportedly said: "Meilani and I have never gone clubbing or partying together and I don't foresee us doing that anytime in the near future." Image Credit: Instagram/@joleendiaz
