Stephanie Seymour's Son, 17, Defends Their Shocking Beach PDA!!!!!!!!!!

There's nothing quite like the bond between a mother and her son -- especially when it involves supermodel Stephanie Seymour and 17-year-old Peter Brant II.

The two raised eyebrows on January 7 when a bikini-clad Seymour, 42, was photographed canoodling with her son during a vacation in St. Barth's -- but Brant insists the "pictures have been taken completely out of context."

My mother and I are very close as she is with all her children. She often hugs and kisses me and my siblings in a manner that is intimate. Any mother in the world does the same," Brant tells Gawker. "That day on the beach we walked around with each other completely aware of the presence of photographers there."
