Selena Gomez Biography

Selena Marie Gomez is an American actress who shot to fame with her starring role in the teen sitcom «Wizards of Waverly Place» on Disney Channel. She's since built a successful career as a model, designer, singer, composer, and songwriter. She's also served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador since age seventeen.

Childhood. Way to Success

Selena Gomez's stunning beauty comes from her mixed heritage. She inherited that gorgeous curly hair and full lips from her Latino father, Ricardo Gomez. Her Anglo-Italian mother, Mandy Kornett, gave her those pearly white teeth, radiant smile, and deep brown eyes. Her unique name comes from the popular Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez.

When Selena Gomez was five years old, her parents got divorced. This was devastating for young Selena. She had to leave behind her hometown of Grand Prairie, Texas, and all her friends to move to bustling Los Angeles with her mother.

Mandy made her living by working as an actress. The demanding job kept Mandy busy, so Selena always tagged along to film sets. Cast and crew were charmed by how Selena mimicked the actors. Finally, six-year-old Selena told her mother she wanted to become an actress too.

After that, Mandy started to take her daughter to various castings. Selena's 9th birthday brought a life-changing moment – she landed a role on the children's TV series "Barney and Friends."

The role of Gianna became Selena's springboard into Hollywood and her incredible journey through show business. Also, «Barney and Friends" gave Sienna her best friend, another young celebrity Demi Lovato.

Money was tight for the mother-daughter duo though. Selena remembers times when they couldn't even afford gas money. Mandy spent every penny she had on Selena, taking her to museums, aquariums, and concerts. She succeeded in raising her daughter right and being a positive role model. After Selena achieved success and fame, Mandy married Bryan Teefey. This gave Selena the hyphenated surname Teefey-Gomez. In 2013, Selena's half-sister Gracie Elliot was born.

Selena Gomez – Personal Life

At 12, Selena Gomez slipped a "purity ring" onto her finger. This well-known American tradition commits the wearer to abstinence until marriage. However, Selena's silver ring engraved with "True Love Waits" couldn't prevent her from eventually breaking that vow.

Enter Justin Bieber, the pop sensation and teen heartthrob who captured millions of hearts worldwide. He spotted the Latin beauty with her youthful face in 2010. Or maybe it was the other way around – perhaps Selena, two years older and more seasoned in show business, felt drawn to protect this bewildered young star. Anyway, their attraction was mutual.

The romance sparked fury among Justin's devoted female fanbase. During those early months, Selena's Twitter exploded with threats from jealous fans. Still, Selena and Justin's whirlwind romance moved so fast that her purity ring came off pretty quickly – by January 2011. The media posted the shots of the lovers kissing passionately on the beach.

Apparently, Selena's crash course in show business served Justin well. His popularity skyrocketed, and soon the perks of superstardom overshadowed Selena's appeal. He never turned down attention from female fans, and was even caught publicly flirting with Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin. Sources say it was Justin's wandering eye that ultimately caused their breakup.

But it seemed Selena wasn't over Justin just yet. In 2014 and 2015, paparazzi caught them together again, and when Selena was spotted wearing Justin's clothes, fans took it as a sure sign they'd reunited.



The reunion rumors died down when Selena stepped out with a mystery man in January 2016. The mystery man turned out to be Samuel Krost, a male model for Onia. They were spotted holding hands and chatting intimately while heading to a trendy Beverly Hills restaurant. But their romance was short-lived.

By summer 2016, Bieber had moved on with young Sofia Richie. Selena and Justin engaged in an epic Instagram war of words. After that, Bieber deleted his account.

Selena Gomez Now

In fall 2016, Selena Gomez claimed that she was taking a break. Unfortunately, she was facing serious health challenges. The lupus aggravation caused depression and panic attacks. She asked her fans for understanding, explaining that her health had to come first. In summer 2017, she dropped her new music video "Fetish."

Lupus brought serious physical and mental health challenges, including what she described as an "emotional breakdown."

In January 2020, she opened up about living with the disorder. She still has difficult days when she can't get out of bed or deals with anxiety attacks. But she's still fighting and even released her third studio album "Rare." According to the singer, the album serves as her private diary from recent years. Her "Lose You to Love Me" and "Look at Her Now" music videos were embraced by fans.
