Maria Tereza Freitas, who taught the 26-year-old how to play football on the beaches of Brazil, was visiting the club's megastore at Stamford Bridge for the first time.
Jorginho's name is printed on Chelsea's new yellow away jersey following his £57.4million move from Napoli.
Joined by other family members, Jorginho and his mother entered the megastore in West London on Saturday.
In a moving moment, Ms. Freitas put her hand to her mouth as she held the yellow jersey and was overcome with emotion.
She turned to Jorginho and hugged her son as he prepares for his competitive debut for Chelsea.
The former Napoli midfielder is expected to start against Manchester City in the Community Shield at Wembley today.
It will mark the beginning of a new journey for Jorginho and his mother, who played a big role in his football education.

“My mother played football so I learned a lot from her,” Jorginho said in 2013.
"She still plays today and understands a lot. She would take me to the beach with a ball and I would spend the whole afternoon doing technical work in the sand."
His connection with his mother is clear when he recalls having to move 190 kilometres away from her and home at the age of 13 to a football academy.
"If I talk about it, I feel a lump in my throat," Jorginho said.
But the pair will feel a sense of achievement as he steps out at Wembley today – especially if Chelsea are victorious.
