Early life

Selena Marie Gomez was born on July 22, 1992, in Grand Prairie, Texas, a suburb of Dallas.[1][2] Her parents are Ricardo Joel Gomez and Texas-born[3] former stage actress Amanda Dawn "Mandy" (née Cornett) Teefey.[4][5] She was named after Tejano singer Selena Quintanilla.[6] Her father is of Mexican descent, while her mother, who was adopted, has Italian ancestry.[7][8][9] Gomez's paternal grandparents emigrated to Texas from Monterrey, Mexico in the 1970s.[10] She has called herself "a proud third-generation American-Mexican",[11] and once said: "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 go to the park and have barbecues on Sundays after church."[12] Her Spanish fluency waned after age seven, when she began working on television.[10]

Gomez's parents divorced when she was five years old, and she remained with her mother.[4][13] Her mother and stepfather, Brian Teefey, later had a daughter, Gracie Elliot Teefey, born in 2013.[14][15] Through her father and his second wife, Sara, she has a half-sister, Victoria "Tori" Gomez, and a stepbrother named Marcus.[16] For most of her childhood, she was homeschooled, save for a brief period when she attended a traditional school as a young girl.[17] She earned her high-school diploma through homeschooling in May 2010.[18]

Gomez was born when her mother was 16 years old.[19] The family faced financial difficulties during her childhood, with her mother struggling to provide for the pair. Gomez recalled that they once searched for quarters to buy gasoline for their car, and her mother later said they often walked to a nearby dollar store to buy spaghetti for dinner.[20]

Gomez has said, "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]."[21] She later added that her mother "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." Gomez had a close relationship with her grandparents as a child and appeared in various pageants. Her grandparents often took care of her while her parents finished their schooling, and she has said they "raised her" until she found success in show business.[22]

Career

2002–2006: Career beginnings

Gomez first gained an interest in pursuing a career in entertainment watching her mother prepare for stage productions.[23] In 2002, she began her acting career on the children's television series Barney & Friends.[24] She appeared in thirteen episodes between 2002 and 2004, as well as in two direct-to-video films associated with the series.[25][26] Reflecting on the experience, she said, "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."[27] She added that after two seasons the producers felt she was "getting a little too old" for the series.[27] During this period, Gomez had small roles in the family film Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over (2003) and the made-for-television film Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial by Fire (2005).[28][29] She later guest-starred in a 2006 episode of the Disney Channel series The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.[29][30]

In 2009, Gomez continued working with Disney Channel, guest-starring on Sonny with a Chance and reprising her role as Alex Russo in the crossover event Wizards on Deck with Hannah Montana.[52][53] She also starred opposite Demi Lovato in the television film Princess Protection Program.[54] Gomez next starred in Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie, a television film based on the series.[55] The film premiered in August 2009 to an audience of 11.4 million viewers and ranked as the second-highest-rated cable television film of all time, behind High School Musical 2.[56][57] Roxana Hadadi of The Washington Post wrote that the film is carried by the performances of its young leads—Gomez, David Henrie and Jake T. Austin.[58] Gomez also recorded songs for the franchise's soundtrack, including "Magic".[59][60] Later that year, she voiced Princess Selenia in Luc Besson's fantasy film Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard and its 2010 sequel.[61][62][63]

Gomez voiced Mavis Dracula in the animated film Hotel Transylvania.[95] The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2012,[96] and was released theatrically later that month to mixed reviews.[97][98] It was commercially successful, grossing US$358 million worldwide.[99] In 2013, she starred alongside Ethan Hawke in the action thriller Getaway.[100] The film was widely panned by critics and became a box-office bomb,[101][102] with some critics describing her as miscast.[103][104] That year, she served as executive producer and reprised her role as Alex Russo in the Disney Channel television special The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex.[105]

Macy,[125][126] and starred in the teen comedy Behaving Badly.[127] The former received mixed reviews,[128][129] while the latter was a critical and commercial failure,[130][131] though critics deemed Gomez's performance superior to the film.[132][133] That year, she ended her management arrangement with her mother and stepfather, who had managed her since her Disney years.[134] The Hollywood Reporter reported that the move reflected a strategy to pursue more adult-oriented work in film and music.[135] She subsequently signed with the WME and Brillstein companies to manage her career.[136][137]

Gomez co-produced and appeared in the documentary Louder: The Soundtrack of Change, released on HBO Max in October 2024.[339] She also guest-starred in Wizards Beyond Waverly Place, a sequel series to Wizards of Waverly Place, reprising her role as Alex Russo,[340][341] and served as an executive producer.[342] Gomez cited her attachment to the original series as a reason for returning to the franchise.[343] The series premiered on Disney Channel and Disney+ in October 2024.[342] Critics responded positively to her return, highlighting her comedic timing and her dynamic with former co-star David Henrie.[344][345] It was later announced that the series would conclude with a third and final season, slated for summer 2026, and that Gomez would make her directorial debut with the season premiere.[341]

In March 2025, Gomez and record producer Benny Blanco released the collaborative album I Said I Love You First.[346] It received positive reviews,[347] with Rolling Stone critic Rob Sheffield praising its stylistic diversity and describing it as a celebration of Gomez and Blanco's real-life romance.[348] The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, with 120,000 units, marking the largest sales week of her career.[349] It also debuted within the top five in several countries, including Australia, Germany, and the UK.[350] Three singles were released in support of the album: "Call Me When You Break Up" with Gracie Abrams,[351] "Sunset Blvd",[352] and "Ojos Tristes" with The Marías.[353] The album track "Bluest Flame" received a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Dance Pop Recording.[354] In April, Gomez was named Billboard Latin Women of the Year.[355] Later that year, Gomez was featured on Cardi B's song "Pick It Up" and released the single "In the Dark" for the soundtrack to the second season of the Netflix series Nobody Wants This.[356][357]

Artistry

Acting approach

Gomez's performance as Alex Russo was noted for its comic timing and sarcastic edge, which helped distinguish Wizards of Waverly Place from comparable youth-oriented sitcoms.[36][358] In later years, critics described her comic delivery as dry and deadpan,[359] particularly when portraying Mabel Mora in Only Murders in the Building.[286][287][288] She compared Mabel Mora to "an older version" of Alex Russo, while People noted that both characters share a dry, sarcastic wit.[360] Steve Martin praised Gomez's approach to performance, saying that she understood that "quiet acting is powerful acting".[361]

Gomez has expressed a preference for working with auteur filmmakers and taking on unconventional supporting roles.[362] She described her role in Spring Breakers as a turning point in her acting career.[363] When accepting the Spotlight Award at the 2024 IndieWire honors, Gomez mentioned having long been drawn to independent film and credited directors such as Harmony Korine, Jim Jarmusch, and Jacques Audiard with helping shape her as an actress.[364] She also has discussed preferring smaller parts in distinctive films over more conventional leading roles, saying "I'd rather have four scenes in a Martin Scorsese film" than star in a standard coming-of-age romance.[362]

Musical style

Gomez is a pop artist whose music primarily encompasses dance-pop.[365][35] Her early recordings with Selena Gomez & the Scene incorporated electronic rock and pop rock influences,[35][366] before transitioning toward dance-pop and electropop on later releases.[367][368][369] Stars Dance adopted an EDM-pop sound incorporating electronic, disco, techno, and dancehall influences,[112][370] which she described as "baby dubstep".[371] The 2014 single "The Heart Wants What It Wants" has been described as a turning point in her musical direction, introducing darker themes and more personal lyrical subject matter.[35]

Revival incorporated dance-pop, electropop, and R&B influences,[372] and was described as marking a more mature artistic phase in Gomez's career.[35][153] Gomez said she was more creatively involved in the album's writing process than on her previous releases.[373] Billboard wrote that Revival helped define her restrained vocal style, often described as "soft, delicate, husky, and whispery", and linked the album to mainstream pop's mid-2010s shift away from EDM maximalism toward softer, R&B-inflected production.[35] Its follow-up, Rare, was noted for its more personal and introspective themes inspired by Gomez's experiences,[374] while her Spanish-language EP Revelación explored reggaeton, Latin pop, and urbano influences.[375] Critics have highlighted Gomez's artistic versatility;[269][376] Entertainment Weekly critic Marcus Jones described her as "a far more versatile musician than she's been given credit for".[269]

Writing for The Guardian, Peter Robinson credited Gomez with popularizing so-called "whisper pop", a style characterized by soft and hushed vocal performances; songs such as "Good for You" and "Bad Liar" were described as representing the apotheosis of the style.[377] Other songwriting briefs reportedly sought a "Selena whisper sound".[377] Producer Tainy described her voice as distinctive and said that she conveys emotion through "subtlety" rather than power.[378] Gomez has said that her strengths as a singer lie in storytelling and performing in a lower vocal register with a softer tone.[379] Rolling Stone critic Rob Sheffield observed that Gomez often sings about her emotions with a sense of vulnerability and described her lyrics as forming an "awesomely contorted private language" that is instantly recognizable.[380]

Influences

Gomez grew up listening to artists such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Janet Jackson, and the boy band NSYNC.[381] Gomez has cited Spears as a major inspiration for her performances and described her as a "huge inspiration" when she sought to shed her Disney image.[382][383] She said performers such as Spears and Jackson influenced the dance-focused concept of her Stars Dance Tour,[384][385] and also cited EDM producer Skrillex as an influence on the sound of Stars Dance, particularly his score for Spring Breakers.[386] She has described Aguilera's album Stripped (2002) as a favorite and an influence on the conceptual approach behind Revival.[381][387] In discussing Revelación, Gomez said she was "a huge reggaeton fan" and that the EP incorporated reggaeton influences, naming artists such as Nicky Jam, Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, Ozuna and Bad Bunny among her favorites.[267]

Gomez also named Bruno Mars and Rihanna among her artistic influences.[388] She has further cited Taylor Swift as an inspiration, praising her songwriting and ability to transition between musical genres.[389][390] Gomez has additionally said she draws inspiration from singers of earlier eras, including Billie Holiday, Patsy Cline, Carole King and Ella Fitzgerald, noting that she is drawn to the "smoky, soft tenderness" and distinct vocal tones of their voices.[391]

In terms of acting influences, Gomez has said that her mannerisms for portraying Alex Russo were patterned after Jennifer Aniston's performance as Rachel Green on Friends.[392] In a 2011 interview, she has also cited Shia LaBeouf's career transition from Disney Channel star to film actor in adulthood as a model she hoped to emulate.[393] She has described Meryl Streep as an inspiration, saying that she learned from Streep's humility, professionalism and commitment to her craft while working with her on Only Murders in the Building.[394]

Gomez has been involved with UNICEF since 2008, when she was named spokesperson for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF, a Halloween fundraising campaign that raised more than US$700,000 that year.[395][396][397] In September 2009, at age 17, she was appointed as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, becoming the organization's youngest ambassador at the time.[396][398][399] Later that month, she traveled to Ghana on her first official field mission, visiting programs addressing access to clean water, nutrition, education, and healthcare.[397][400]

Public image and impact

Initially regarded as a teen idol,[35] Gomez was later described as a pop icon and a "triple threat" entertainer.[532][533] Early coverage emphasized her broad appeal among young audiences, online influence, and cross-media visibility.[393][534] In 2011, Billboard described Gomez as the "Internet queen of Disney" and highlighted her influence on social media,[393] while The Guardian dubbed her the "Tween Queen" and noted her visibility as a Disney star across television, film, music, and consumer products.[534] Later coverage linked Gomez's appeal to her relatability, perceived authenticity, and multifaceted career.[424][535] In 2022, Alex Morris of Rolling Stone wrote that authenticity and openness about personal struggles had become central to Gomez's appeal.[536]

Writing in 2013, Hadley Freeman of The Guardian said that Gomez had navigated the transition beyond her Disney image more successfully than some of her peers, while noting that the association could still hinder efforts to be taken seriously.[13] Gomez has since spoken about tabloid scrutiny, the loss of privacy, and feeling defined by her personal life rather than her work.[537][538][539] In a 2017 interview with Billboard, she said that she had often felt defined "not by my work but by who I was".[540] She has also said that she was sexualized at a young age and later felt uncomfortable with attempts to project a more adult image.[541]

Gomez has had a significant impact on popular culture.[424][542] In 2016, David Amsden of W described Gomez as "the most popular girl in America", writing that she "embodies a particular strain of American fame: you know who she is without quite knowing who she is".[543] Billboard ranked her at number 38 on its Top Artists of the 2010s decade chart,[544] and Spotify ranked her as the eighth-most-streamed female artist of the 2010s.[545] Her social-media reach has also drawn attention; Hugh McIntyre of Forbes noted Gomez's influence on social media, writing that posts mentioning her often attract unusually high engagement online.[546] In 2016, she became the most followed person on Instagram,[547] and the first person to reach 100 million followers on the platform,[548] a milestone later recognized by Time in its Firsts series, "Women Who Are Changing the World".[549] In 2023, she regained her status as the most-followed woman on the platform.[550] The following year, the BBC reported that Gomez was the most-followed woman globally on social media.[551] From 2022 to 2025, she was included in The Hollywood Reporter annual Power 100 list of the most powerful women in entertainment.[552]

Gomez stopped wearing the ring in 2010.[584] In 2014, Gomez said that she listened to "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Hillsong United before performing at the 2014 American Music Awards.[585] In 2016, she appeared at a Hillsong Young & Free concert in Los Angeles, leading worship by singing her song "Nobody".[586][587][588] When a fan on Twitter asked her who the lyrics to "Nobody" refer to, Gomez replied that they refer to God.[589] She also covered Hillsong Worship's song "Transfiguration", a reference to the Christian doctrine of the Transfiguration of Jesus, during her Revival Tour.[590]

In June 2017, she expressed discomfort with the term "religion", stating that "It freaks me out".[591] Gomez also said "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."[592][32] Gomez, with Justin Bieber, started worshiping at the Pentecostal Hillsong Church in Los Angeles in 2017.[593] In 2021, she remarked that she maintained her Christian faith and had read The Purpose Driven Life by Baptist pastor Rick Warren three times.[378]

Gomez has been open about her struggles with both anxiety and depression. She began psychotherapy in her early twenties and spent time in treatment facilities.
