Selena Gomez's stunning looks are due to her parents. From her father, Latin American Ricardo Gomez, she inherited a lush mane of curly hair and plump sensual lips, and from her mother, Anglo-Italian Mandy Cornett, she got a wide snow-white smile and bottomless Brown eyes... And for so rare name the girl should be grateful to the singer Selena, who was very popular in the early 90s.

When Selena Gomez was only five years old, her parents divorced. It has become a real tragedy for girl. The baby had to say goodbye to her hometown, friends and go with her mother from the quiet Texas town of Grand Prairie to the noisy and crowded Los Angeles.


Mandy was an actress - a profession that requires full dedication, taking up all of your personal time. Little Selena constantly followed her mother to all the shooting.

The series aired on Disney Channel for six years; during this time, Selena Gomez blossomed and turned into a charming girl.

In the same 2009, the girl became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, being the youngest representative of the organization in history.


In 2010, Gomez got the leading roles in the films Monte Carlo and Ramona and Beezus. In the first film, she got the role of a poor girl, who was mistaken for an heiress huge fortune, and in the second - the sister of the restless baby Ramona Quimby, played by 11-year-old Joey King. In the same year, the girl received a diploma of graduation from school, which, due to the tight filming and touring schedule, she had to graduate as an external student.


With the growing popularity of Selena, modeling contracts were added to her busy filming schedule. Famous brands have repeatedly invited the beautiful Selena to become their advertising face. So, the girl took part in the campaigns of Louis Vuitton, Adidas, Pantene, Coca-cola. By the way, the photo with this drink posted by the star on Instagram got a record number of "likes". “It's so cool when there are lines from your song on the bottle!”, Selena signed the picture. In 2016, Selena Gomez starred in the good family movie Basic Principles of Good, as well as in the comedy Neighbors: On the Warpath opposite Seth Rogen and Zac Efron. The girl was fabulously popular - her Instagram profile was one of the most popular, and for one advertising publication she was paid about 500 thousand dollars.


Selena Gomez's personal life

At the age of 12, Selena Gomez put the so-called "ring of purity" on her finger. It is a common tradition in the United States that the girl who carries the ring accepts it as a symbol of chastity and vows to keep her virginity until marriage. However, the silver ring with the inscription "I will wait for my betrothed" was not destined to hear the ringing of wedding bells.


And the reason for this is pop singer Justin Bieber, an icon of millions of teenagers around the world. He drew attention to the Hispanic beauty with a baby face in 2010. More precisely, on the contrary - a girl who was two years older than him and knew the rules of music show business much better, at first glance wanted to protect this confused short boy. And he answered her in return.


This caused the anger of the young man's fans - in the first months of their romance, Selena's twitter was torn by incoming threats from Justin's fans. But, despite the obstacles, the relationship of stellar teenagers developed so rapidly that in January 2011 the purity ring disappeared from Selena's hands. Following this news, very candid photos of teenagers appeared in the press: they were kissing enthusiastically on the beach.


Apparently, Selena's lessons were good for Justin. His popularity has reached incredible heights, and the pleasures that star status revealed to him overshadowed the merits of his girlfriend. He never gave up huge portions of attention from female fans, and once publicly flirted with Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin. Those close to Selena said that it was Justin's constant flirting that caused the star couple to break up.


But apparently, Selena's feelings for ex-boyfriend did not fade away - in 2014 and 2015, the paparazzi caught them together more than once. And especially attentive journalists noticed that the actress sometimes walks around in Justin's clothes, and considered this a symbol of the couple's reunion.

The rumors came to an end when, in January 2016, Selena appeared in public with an unknown young man. They held on to the handle and chirped sweetly on their way to one of the fashionable restaurants in Beverly Hills. Later it turned out that the guy's name is Samuel Krost - he is a musician, a frequenter of nightclubs and an advertising person for the menswear brand Onia. And after that, she began an affair with the rapper The Weeknd.

Francia Rice donated a kidney to Selena Gomez

After the operation, Gomez and Bieber began to communicate again: the singer threw ex-girlfriend messages. On October 22, 2017, they spent an evening with mutual friends at Selena's apartment, and a week later they were seen together at a church in Los Angeles. On October 30, Selena parted ways with The Weeknd, and the same evening went to cheer for Justin at a hockey game. On November 15, at another hockey game, the two kissed, marking a second life in their relationship.

Selena Gomez now

Having recovered from the illness and having established her personal life, Selena again found herself "in the ranks". At the beginning of 2018, the girl was appointed the new face of the sports brand Puma.


The singer, actress, producer and fashion designer (Selena's second collaboration with the Coach brand saw the light in August) said that last years turned out to be saturated. 2017 turned out to be difficult for Gomez - the fight against lupus, a kidney transplant, love polygons with the participation of Bieber and The Weeknd. The singer admits that she entered this year as a different person: “As soon as I turned 26, I felt that I was 26. I clearly understand where I was going, and I do not feel insecure or emotionally unstable as it was before. I got to know myself a little better. " It turns out that now volunteer work has been added to Selena's impressive resume. Quietly, without cameras and unnecessary attention, five days a week, the singer worked for an organization that is making every effort to solve the problems of women's sexual slavery and child trafficking. After all the difficulties that Gomez had to go through, her soul asked for help to those who needed it.

Getting what she wants and living without looking back at others is a skill that Selena has mastered to perfection: “Someone will see me with a glass of wine? I wanted to spit. I am not hiding from anyone and I live the way I like. " The singer is not ready to listen to instructions even from her own mother, who tried to dissuade her daughter from participating in Woody Allen's project "Rainy Day in New York". The director's proposal, to which Gomez agreed, fell at the height of the era of accusations of sexual harassment. Allen was then suspected of seducing his seven-year-old daughter, and for the role model of adolescents, collaboration with the notorious director was out of place. But Selena decided to bend her line to the end and still refuses to explain what motivated her.

Selena, one of the main influencers of our time with an army of 140 million subscribers, is absolutely indifferent to success on social networks and only occasionally updates Instagram from her friend's phone: “I have not been on the Internet for several months. I don't even have a password for my Instagram. No apps on your phone other than a brain training game. It's just that it's not real. If I have time to be with friends, I don’t want to waste it on something else. ”

The singer has long realized the value of friendship, so the topic of Demi Lovato's drug overdose is a taboo for her: “After what happened, I contacted her personally. I didn't want to say anything to the press. I love her, I have known her since the age of seven. So ... that's all I can say. "


Everything that Gomez prefers to keep silent about in front of journalists, the music will tell for her: in the tight schedule of the singer, there was time to record a new album, with which she plans to please fans in the fall. Songs of love, broken heart await us inner strength and self-confidence. Selena described one of her favorite tracks, Flawless: “It is about the fact that despite all the flaws, we are perfect. This is the song that I will sing for the rest of my life. A song that I wrote for a previous version of myself. "


An insider said that singer Selena Gomez does not meet men and does not go on dates after breaking up with Justin Bieber.
