We do everything that's Catholic, but we don't really have anything traditional except [that we] go to the park and have barbecues on Sundays after church."[14] Gomez's parents divorced when she was five years old, and she remained with her mother.[6][15] Gomez has two siblings. Her sister, Gracie Elliot Teefey, was born to Amanda and her second husband Brian Teefey on June 12, 2013.[16][17] Gomez has a second sister, Victoria "Tori" Gomez, born to Ricardo and his wife Sara on June 25, 2014.[18] She earned a high school diploma through homeschooling in May 2010.[19]

I'm terrified of what I would have become if I'd stayed [in Texas]."[22] She later added that "[My mom] was really strong around me. Having me at 16 had to have been a big responsibility. She gave up everything for me, had three jobs, supported me, sacrificed her life for me."[23] Gomez had a close relationship with her grandparents as a child, and appeared in various pageants growing up.[23] Her grandparents often took care of Selena while her parents finished their schooling, and the pair went as far as stating that they "raised her" up until she found success in the entertainment industry.[23]

I didn't know what blocking was. I learned everything from Barney."[30] Gomez appeared in fourteen episodes of the show between 2002 and 2004, though the show's producers released her as she was getting "too old" for the series.[31] While working on the series, Gomez had a cameo role in the film Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003) and the made-for-television film Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire (2005).[32] Gomez made a guest appearance in a 2006 episode of the Disney series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.[33]

Hoping to achieve a successful crossover into music, Gomez formed the pop-rock band Selena Gomez & the Scene through her record deal with Hollywood Records.[71] The name of the band is an "ironic jab" at the people who called Gomez a "wannabe scene."[72] The group released their debut studio album in August 2009,[73][74][75][76] which debuted at number nine on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States, with first-week sales of 66,000 copies.[77] The album received a mixed reception, some critics praised the album for its "fun" nature, while others criticized Gomez for her vocal performance.[75][78][79] The lead single failed to have commercial success,[80] however the second single was successful.[81] With heavy promotion through Disney and performances, the song had success on radio and with sales.[82] In 2010, Gomez starred as one of the two female leads in Ramona and Beezus, a film adaption of the children's novel series by Beverly Cleary.[83][84][85] The film premiered on July 23, 2010, and it was met with generally positive reviews.[86] Selena Gomez & the Scene released their second studio album A Year Without Rain that same year,[87][88] which debuted on the US Billboard 200 at number 4 with sales of a little over 66,000.[88] The album received mixed to positive reviews where some noticed that Gomez's vocals contained the Auto-Tune effect.[89] The record's two singles both achieved moderate success.[90][91] Having previously announced plans to launch a fashion line, Gomez launched Dream Out Loud in 2010.[92][93] The collection consisted of, and featured, bohemian dresses, floral tops, jeans, skirts, jackets, scarves and hats, all of which were made from recycled or eco-friendly materials.[94][95] Gomez stated, "With my line, I really want to give the customer options on how they can put their own looks together [...] I want the pieces that can be easy to dress up or down, and the fabrics being eco-friendly and organic is super important [...] Also, the tags will all have some of my inspirational quotes on them. I'm just looking to send a good message."[92][95] To design the actual items, Gomez teamed up with designers Tony Melillo and Sandra Campos, both of whom had previously worked with big-name fashion houses.[93] Melillo and Campos teamed with New York-based Adjmi Apparel to manufacture the brand, which was formed by Adjmi CH Brands LLC, the holding company for the brand.[96]
In 2011, Gomez starred in the film Monte Carlo. Her character Grace is a teenager "mistaken for a socialite while on a trip to Paris."[97] To prepare for the role, Gomez learned how to play polo and also took two weeks of vocal training to learn two different British accents.[98][99] She also began a relationship with Justin Bieber that year, which lasted until 2014.[100] Gomez appeared in a cameo role in the film The Muppets[101] and appeared in the Disney shows So Random! and PrankStars.[102] Selena Gomez & the Scene released their third and final studio album that same year.[103] The album received mixed reviews,[103] with the album's second single receiving a 4x Platinum certification from the RIAA.[104] However, the album's lead single and last single both achieved moderate success.[105][106] It was announced on July 14, 2011, that Gomez had signed a license agreement with Adrenalina, an extreme sports and adventure-themed lifestyle brand, to develop, manufacture, and distribute the actress's fragrance.

Selena became the ambassador of DoSomething.org after being involved with the charity Island Dog, which helped dogs in Puerto Rico.[259] She began her involvement while filming Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie in Puerto Rico.[260] Gomez is also involved with the charity RAISE Hope For Congo, an initiative of the Enough Project, which helps raise awareness about conflict minerals and violence against Congolese women.[261] Gomez was named spokesperson for UNICEF's 2009 Trick-or-Treat campaign, for the second year in a row.[262] Gomez, who raised over $700,000 for the charity in 2008, stated that she hopes to be able to raise 1 million dollars in 2009.[257] Gomez participated in a celebrity auction[263] and hosted a live web cast series on Facebook in support of the Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign.[264] From 2009 to 2012, Gomez was involved in "Disney's Friends for Change", an organization which promoted "environmentally-friendly behavior", and she appeared in its public service announcements.[265] Gomez, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, and the Jonas Brothers, as the ad hoc musical team "Disney's Friends For Change", recorded the charity single "Send It On", all of whose proceeds were accepted into the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund.[266] It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 20.[266]
Gomez returned as the UNICEF spokesperson for the 60th anniversary of Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign in 2010.[267] In celebration of the organization's 60th anniversary, Gomez and her team, The Scene, held a benefit concert donating all proceeds to the campaign.[268] In February 2011, Gomez traveled to Chile to witness and meet with the families of UNICEF's supported program, "Programa Puente", which helped families better understand, and developed skills to deal effectively with, early childhood education, development, and other issues related to raising children. From her field trip experience, Gomez said, "UNICEF is helping Chilean families get out of poverty, prevent violence within the home and promote education. To witness first hand these families' struggles, and also their hope and perseverance, was truly inspiring."[269] In March 2011, Gomez participated in the UNICEF Tap Project's "Celebrity Tap Pack" limited-edition, custom-made water bottles which featured tap water from the homes of each celebrity advocate, in order to raise funds and increase profile for the clean water and sanitation programs.[270] She was also featured in videos that promoted the campaign.[271][272] In April 2012, Gomez was named ambassador to the Ryan Seacrest Foundation.[273] She was also a spokesperson for State Farm Insurance and appeared in numerous television commercials, which aired on the Disney Channel, to raise awareness of being a safe driver.[274]
Personal life
Relationships
From 2008 to 2010, Gomez was in a relationship with fellow Disney star Nick Jonas.[275] Gomez was in a relationship with Canadian singer Justin Bieber from 2011 to 2015.[276] Early in 2017, Gomez started dating singer Abel Tesfaye, also known as The Weeknd, making their public debut at the Met Gala.[277] She and Tesfaye split in October 2017, after 10 months of dating.[278]
Health
Gomez was diagnosed with lupus in 2015. On September 14, 2017 she announced on her Instagram that the reason she had withdrawn from public events during the previous few months was because she had received a kidney transplant from her best friend, actress Francia Raisa.[279][280][281]
