Despite this, Mia seems to have a great relationship with her step-mom as she declared: “Tina was like a second mother to me. I have a lot of love and respect for her, I still do. I was like the daughter she never had, we did everything together. Tina will always have a very special place in my heart because she’s my other mother. If I saw her today, I would hug her and say, ‘I love you and I miss you.”
