Life and career[edit]

1992–2006: Early life and career beginnings[edit]

Selena Marie Gomez was born on July 22, 1992, in Grand Prairie, Texas,[4] to Ricardo Joel Gomez[5] and Texas-born[5] former stage actress Amanda Dawn "Mandy" Cornett.[6][7][better source needed] She was named after Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla, who died in 1995.[8][9] Her father is of Mexican descent, while her mother, who was adopted, has some Italian ancestry.[10][11][12] Gomez's paternal grandparents emigrated to Texas from Monterrey in the 1970s.[13] Regarding her Hispanic heritage, Gomez has said she is "a proud third-generation American-Mexican"[14] and that, "My family does have Quinceañeras, and we go to the communion church. 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."[15] Gomez was fluent in Spanish until age seven.[13] Her parents divorced when she was five years old, and she remained with her mother.[6][16] Gomez has two younger half-sisters: Gracie Elliot Teefey, through Amanda and her second husband Brian Teefey,[17][18] and Victoria "Tori" Gomez, through Ricardo and his second wife Sara.[19] She earned her high-school diploma through homeschooling in May 2010.[20]

Gomez was born when her mother was sixteen years old.[21] The family had financial troubles throughout Gomez's childhood, her mother struggling to provide for the pair. At one point, Gomez recalls that they had to search for quarters just to get gas for their car. Her mother later recalled that the two would frequently walk to their local dollar store to purchase spaghetti for dinner.[22] Gomez stated, "I was frustrated that my parents weren't together, and never saw the light at the end of the tunnel where my mom was working hard to provide a better life for me. I'm terrified of what I would have become if I'd stayed [in Texas]."[23] 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."[24] Gomez had a close relationship with her grandparents as a child and appeared in various pageants growing up. Her grandparents often took care of her while her parents finished their schooling, and she went as far as stating that they "raised her" until she found success in show business.[24]

Gomez first gained an interest in pursuing a career in entertainment watching her mother prepare for stage productions.[25] She began auditioning for various roles and met Demi Lovato during an audition for Barney & Friends.[26][27] Both Gomez and Lovato were later selected to appear on the series in 2002,[28][29] with Gomez portraying the character Gianna.[30] The show was her first acting gig. Gomez recalled of the experience, "I was very shy when I was little [...] I didn't know what 'camera right' was. I didn't know what blocking was. I learned everything from Barney."[31] Gomez appeared in thirteen episodes of the show between 2002 and 2004; the show's producers released her as she was "too old" for the series.[32] While working on Barney & Friends, 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).[33] She guest starred in a 2006 episode of the Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.[34]

While working on the second season of Wizards of Waverly Place, Gomez appeared on the Disney Channel special Studio DC: Almost Live alongside other Disney stars.[44] She contributed a cover of the song "Cruella de Vil" to the compilation album DisneyMania 6[45] and later recorded the original song "Fly to Your Heart" for the soundtrack of the animated film Tinker Bell.[46] She had a leading role as an aspiring dancer Mary Santiago in the direct-to-video film Another Cinderella Story, a sequel to A Cinderella Story (2004) starring Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray and the second installment of the A Cinderella Story series.

At age 16, Gomez signed a record deal with Hollywood Records, which had already signed both Cyrus and Lovato.[50][51] Gomez formed her own production company in 2008, which she called July Moon Productions.[52] She partnered with XYZ Films for the project, allowing Gomez to option articles, hire writers and create talent packages to shop to studios.[52][53] Gomez was slated to release two films under the company. The first, titled What Boys Want, would feature Gomez as a girl who could hear the thoughts of men.[54] She later announced a film adaptation of the novel Thirteen Reasons Why, in which she was to play a young girl who commits suicide; ultimately, neither film was made,[55] but Gomez would later executive produce a television adaptation of Thirteen Reasons Why.[56]

Gomez continued to enjoy mainstream success throughout the following year, appearing as Alex Russo in a crossover episode of the Disney Channel series The Suite Life on Deck.[57] She also guest starred as herself on the Disney series Sonny with a Chance, starring Lovato.[58] She appeared in a remix of the Forever the Sickest Kids' single "Whoa Oh!

Hoping to cross over into the music industry, Gomez formed the pop rock band Selena Gomez & the Scene through her record deal with Hollywood Records.[65] The name of the band is an "ironic jab" at the people who called Gomez a "wannabe scene".[66] The group released their first studio album in August 2009,[67][68][69][70] which debuted at number nine on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States with first-week sales of 66,000 copies.[71] The album received mixed reviews, with some critics praising its "fun" nature and others criticizing Gomez's vocal performance.[69][72][73] Although the lead single was not commercially successful,[74] the second single was due to heavy promotions through the Disney Channel and numerous live performances.[75][76] In 2010, Gomez starred alongside Joey King in Ramona and Beezus, a film adaptation of the children's novel series by Beverly Cleary.[77][78][79] The film premiered on July 23, 2010, to generally positive reviews.[80] Selena Gomez & the Scene released their second studio album A Year Without Rain that same year,[81][82] which debuted on the US Billboard 200 at number four with sales of over 66,000.[82] The album received mixed to positive reviews, where some critics reacting negatively to Gomez's Auto-Tune-processed vocals.[83] Both of the record's singles both achieved moderate success.[84][85] Having previously announced plans to launch a fashion line, Gomez released the Dream Out Loud collection in 2010.[86][87] It consisted of bohemian dresses, floral tops, jeans, skirts, jackets, scarves and hats, all of which were made from recycled or eco-friendly materials.[88][89] 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."[86][89] Gomez teamed up with designers Tony Melillo and Sandra Campos for the project, both of whom had previously worked with big-name fashion houses.[87] 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.[90]

In 2011, Gomez starred in the film Monte Carlo as Grace, a teenager "mistaken for a socialite while on a trip to Paris".[91] In preparation for the role, she learned to play polo and received dialect coaching to speak in two different British accents.[92][93] Gomez appeared in a cameo role in the film The Muppets[94] and appeared in the Disney shows So Random! and PrankStars.[95] Selena Gomez & the Scene released their third and final studio album that same year to mixed reviews.[96] The album's lead and final singles were only moderately successful,[97][98] but its second single was certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA.[99] 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 her own fragrance. Chairman and CEO of Adrenalina, Ilia Lekach, said, "We are incredibly enthused to be working with Ms. Gomez and will reveal more details pertaining to the fragrance as we get closer to the launch date."[100] The perfume was released in May 2012.[101] On November 6, 2011, she hosted the MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast, Northern Ireland.[102]

Gomez addressed the controversy, saying that "We stayed very true to the book and that's initially what [author] Jay Asher created was a beautifully tragic, complicated yet suspenseful story and I think that's what we wanted to do.

Artistry[edit]

Musical style[edit]

Gomez is described as a pop artist[243][244][245] with a mezzo-soprano vocal range. Her work is primarily characterised as dance-pop[244][246] and EDM;[244][247] however, she has experimented with different music genres. Her debut album with the Scene was influenced by electronic rock and pop rock,[248][249] while her subsequent records with the band opted for a dance-pop[250][251] sound. A Year Without Rain noted synth-pop characteristics,[252] and When the Sun Goes Down featured a more electropop[253] and electro-disco musical direction.[254] Her debut solo album Stars Dance was rooted in the EDM-pop[255][256] genre—Gomez herself described it as "baby dubstep"[257]—drawing elements from electronic, disco, techno, and dancehall.[258][259] Her songs "The Heart Wants What It Wants" and "Good for You" have been described as "minimalistic" and "grown-up",[260] introducing a more adult pop sound into her repertoire.[261]

Influences[edit]

Early in her career, Gomez cited Bruno Mars as an influence for "his style of music, his style in general, the way he performs, the way he carries himself".[262] Gomez has also cited Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift as influences.[263][264][265][266][267][268] Gomez's debut solo album Stars Dance (2013) was prominently influenced by Spears, Swift, and EDM producer Skrillex;[269] her second album, Revival, was mainly inspired by Aguilera's album Stripped (2002), as well as Janet Jackson and Spears.[265][270]

So it's pretty incredible."[294][295] Gomez said, of her role as ambassador, that "Every day 25,000 children die from preventable causes. I stand with UNICEF in the belief that we can change that number from 25,000 to zero. I know we can achieve this because every moment, UNICEF is on the ground providing children with the lifesaving assistance needed to ensure zero becomes a reality."[293]

Gomez remarked that "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".[301] In March 2011, Gomez participated in the UNICEF Tap Project's "Celebrity Tap Pack" which featured limited-edition, custom-made water bottles with tap water from the homes of each celebrity advocate to raise funds and increase profile for the clean water and sanitation programs.[302] She was also featured in videos that promoted the campaign.[303][304] In 2014, Gomez visited Nepal to raise awareness for children in need.[305]

Advocacy[edit]

Gomez has shown support for the LGBT community. She joined numerous celebrities to write a "love letter" during pride month, as a part of Billboard's 30 Days of Pride during the month of June 2016. That year, she donated proceeds of her Revival Tour concert in North Carolina to fight the state's anti-transgender legislation known as the "bathroom law"; The law, repealed in 2017, banned transgender people from using public restrooms in line with their gender identity.[318]

She has also shown support for the Black Lives Matter movement and lent her Instagram account to Alicia Garza, co-creator of Black Lives Matter and one of the founders of Black Futures Lab, in June 2020.[319][320]

In the wake of the Alabama abortion ban in May 2019, Gomez spoke out on Instagram in favor of abortion rights in the United States.[321]

In May 2021, Gomez participated in the VAX Live: The Concert to Reunite the World concert organized by Global Citizen to promote the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines worldwide through the COVAX program. The event urged people to ask their governments to pledge $22.1 billion in aid to the vaccine distribution.[322]

Personal life[edit]

In 2020, Gomez moved to a $4.9 million mansion in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Encino.[323]

Religious beliefs[edit]

Gomez was raised Catholic. At age 13, she wanted a purity ring, and her father went to the church and had it blessed. She stated, "He actually used me as an example for other kids. I'm going to keep my promise to myself, to my family and to God." Gomez stopped wearing the ring in 2010.[324] She later stated in 2017 that she did not like the term "religion" and that sometimes it "freaks me out", adding "I don't know if it's necessarily that I believe in religion, as much as I believe in faith and a relationship with God."[325] In 2014, Gomez said that she listened to "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Hillsong United before performing at the 2014 American Music Awards.[326] In 2016, she appeared at a Hillsong Young & Free concert in Los Angeles, leading worship by singing her song "Nobody".[327][328][329] When a fan on Twitter asked her who the lyrics to "Nobody" refer to, Gomez replied that the lyrics refer to God.[330] She also covered Hillsong Worship's song "Transfiguration" during her Revival Tour.[331] As of 2020, she attends a different congregation in California, the Hillsong Church,[332][333] and has stated that she does not consider herself religious, but is more concerned with her faith and connection to God.[334]

Health[edit]

Gomez was diagnosed with lupus sometime between 2012 and early 2014. In September 2017, she revealed on Instagram that she had withdrawn from public events during the previous few months because she had received a kidney transplant from actress and friend Francia Raisa.[335][336][337] During the transplant, an artery broke and emergency surgery was conducted to build a new artery using a vein from her leg.[338][339][340]

Gomez has been open about her struggles with both anxiety and depression. She began pursuing therapy in her early twenties and also spent time in treatment facilities. When she reached 100 million Instagram followers, Gomez said she "sort of freaked out" and has since taken several extended breaks from social media, due in part to negative comments.[341] In April 2020, she revealed she has bipolar disorder.[342][343]

Relationships[edit]

Gomez dated Nick Jonas in 2008 and appeared in the music video for his band's song "Burnin' Up".[344] In December 2010, Gomez began dating Justin Bieber. After separating in November 2012, they reconciled a few weeks later before splitting up again in January 2013.[345][346][347] They later reconciled for a few months in each of 2013, 2014, and 2015.[348][349] Late in 2017, it was reported that the couple were together again; however, they broke up again in March 2018.[350][351] After recording "I Want You to Know" in 2015 with Russian-German DJ Zedd, Gomez began a romantic relationship with him, although they broke up later that year.[352]

Gomez reportedly started dating The Weeknd in January 2017, and they moved in together temporarily that September in Greenwich Village, New York[353][354] but broke up by October.[355] The Weeknd released My Dear Melancholy in March 2018, which, according to media outlets, referenced Gomez in several songs.[356]
