Background

Selena Gomez is a household name in the music industry, and her dazzling beauty and affectionate personality have won the hearts of millions around the world. She has had her ups and downs, yet continues to stay strong and be a powerful role model.

Selena Gomez was born on July 22, 1992, in Grand Prairie, Texas. Her zodiac sign is Cancer and her ethnicity is half Mexican, half Italian. She is the daughter of Ricardo Gomez and Mandy Teefey, who named her after the iconic Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla-Perez. Selena got into acting after being inspired by her mother who was also an amateur actress. Some of Selena’s earliest acting roles were in the popular kids show “Barney & Friends,” “Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over,” and “House Broken.”

She moved to Los Angeles, California after landing her breakthrough role of Alex Russo in the Disney Channel original series “Wizards Of Waverly Place” (2007). The show aired for four seasons and ended with a movie. Selena shot to fame and received two Emmy awards for her role. Gomez then starred in a couple of other movies; “Another Cinderella Story” (2008), “Princess Protection Program” (2009), and did her first voice-acting role in the animated film “Horton Hears A Who!” (2008).

Selena next delved into music, releasing her first music album in 2009 with her band Selena Gomez & the Scene. The album ranked at #9 on the Billboard 200 album charts and went Platinum. In the next few years, Selena also engaged in philanthropic works, becoming the youngest ambassador for UNICEF. Always an advocate for environmental sustainability, Selena launched her clothing line Dream Out Loud in 2013, which was made from eco-friendly materials.

Ever since her rise to stardom, Selena’s private life has made headlines. Her high-profile relationship with singer Justin Bieber created a sensation like no other. With both singers at the peak of their careers, fans hyped up the couple, and their on and off relationship status from 2011 to 2018 continued to generate buzz online, earning them the nickname ‘Jelena.’

In 2015, after she was diagnosed with lupus disease, Selena struggled with frequent anxiety and panic attacks, resulting in her canceling her worldwide Revival Tour and checking into rehab. She made her first public appearance again at the 2016 American Music Awards.

In the following year, Selena started dating The Weeknd, and returned to the music scene with her collaboration song with Kygo ‘It Ain’t Me,’ which ranked in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In the same year, Selena was honored with Billboard’s Woman of the Year award.

In September 2020, Selena launched Rare Beauty, her beauty line for everyone with no barriers. Her unique product design is easy to use, especially for those who struggle to open makeup items due to shaky hands or other autoimmune conditions. Rare Beauty has already become a favorite in the beauty community and is available at makeup retailer Sephora.
