Biography
1992–2008:
Early life and career breakthrough
Gomez was born in Grand Prairie, Texas.[2] She is
the daughter of former stage actress Amanda Dawn "Mandy" Teefey (née Cornett)
and Ricardo Joel Gomez.[5][6][7] Her
father is of Mexican ancestry, and her mother is of part Italian descent.[8][9]
Regarding her Hispanic heritage, Gomez has stated: "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."[10] Her
birth parents divorced when she was five years old, and she was raised as an
only child by her working mother.[5][11] In
2006, Mandy remarried Brian Teefey.[12] She
was named after Tejano singer Selena, who died almost three years after Gomez
was born.[13] In a
2009 interview with People, Gomez mentioned that she developed an
early interest in acting from watching her mother prepare for and act in theater
productions.[11] She
earned a high school diploma through homeschooling in May 2010.[14] Gomez
began her acting career at age seven, playing Gianna on Barney & Friends.[15] She
later had minor roles in Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over and the TV film
Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial By Fire. Gomez also starred in the television
movie Brain Zapped. (Selena Gomez also found out that she wanted to be an
actress because in E Special she states that "I would also watch my mom on stage
do her lines".)
Gomez on the studio set of Wizards of
Waverly Place, 2007
In 2004, Gomez was discovered by the Disney Channel in a USA-wide scouting.[16] Gomez
appeared as a guest star on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and had a
guest appearance – that later turned into a recurring role – on Hannah Montana from seasons two to three.
Gomez previously taped two different pilots that were spin-offs to two previous
Disney series.[17] The
first one, What's Stevie Thinking?, was the spin-off to Lizzie McGuire. Gomez played Stevie Sanchez,
Miranda Sanchez's little sister. The other show was titled Arwin!, the spin-off to The Suite Life of
Zack & Cody, in which she played Alexa. Neither series was picked
up.
In early 2007, Gomez was cast in the Disney Channel series Wizards
of Waverly Place as one of the three main characters, Alex Russo. The show premiered to an audience of
5.9 million, becoming a hit. Many news outlets began dubbing Gomez the next
'Miley Cyrus' causing some controversy and a reported 'feud'. Gomez clarified
that there was no feud and that she was flattered by the comparison, saying:
"It's a little overwhelming, but I think really, it's a compliment. She's
obviously extremely successful, and I think she's a wonderful performer ... So
being compared to her, I was very, very flattered."[18] Gomez
recorded four songs, one of which was a cover, for the Wizards of Waverly Place soundtrack, only
one single (Magic) from the album was released. In 2008,
Gomez recorded a cover of "Cruella de Vil"—which included a music video—for
the compilation album DisneyMania 6. Gomez also recorded "Fly to
Your Heart" for the 2008 animated film Tinker Bell. In July 2008, before Gomez'
sixteenth birthday, she signed a recording deal with Hollywood Records, a music label owned by
Disney.[19] The
same year Gomez began a brief relationship with Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers which ended that same year.[20]. In
May, of the same year, Gomez was featured, with Forever
the Sickest Kids, on a duet version of the non-album song "Whoa Oh!".[21] The
same year Gomez appeared in Another Cinderella Story, the direct-to-DVD
sequel to the 2004 Hilary Duff film, opposite Drew
Seeley. She also had a minor voiceover role as one the Mayor's
ninety-six daughters in Horton Hears a Who! which released in March
of that year. In April, Lacey Rose, of Forbes ranked Gomez as being fifth

February 2009, Gomez signed on to star as one of the two female leads in Ramona and Beezus, a film adaption of the children's novel series by Beverly Cleary.[23][24] Gomez
stated that she felt no pressure in taking more adult roles: "I think I’m fully
aware of my audience and I’m still just a kid myself. I wouldn’t do a role I
don’t feel comfortable doing or that my audience wouldn’t feel comfortable
seeing."[25] She
also began to date actor Taylor Lautner, who she met in Vancouver, while she was filming Ramona and Beezus and he was shooting New
Moon[26], and
the two dated for a few months. However, the pressure of the media became too
much for them and caused the two to break-up.[27]
In June 2009, Gomez did a guest appearance as herself in one episode of best
friend Demi

Network Stars". That same month Gomez appeared alongside Lovato in the

Early life and career breakthrough
Gomez was born in Grand Prairie, Texas.[2] She is
the daughter of former stage actress Amanda Dawn "Mandy" Teefey (née Cornett)
and Ricardo Joel Gomez.[5][6][7] Her
father is of Mexican ancestry, and her mother is of part Italian descent.[8][9]
Regarding her Hispanic heritage, Gomez has stated: "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."[10] Her
birth parents divorced when she was five years old, and she was raised as an
only child by her working mother.[5][11] In
2006, Mandy remarried Brian Teefey.[12] She
was named after Tejano singer Selena, who died almost three years after Gomez
was born.[13] In a
2009 interview with People, Gomez mentioned that she developed an
early interest in acting from watching her mother prepare for and act in theater
productions.[11] She
earned a high school diploma through homeschooling in May 2010.[14] Gomez
began her acting career at age seven, playing Gianna on Barney & Friends.[15] She
later had minor roles in Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over and the TV film
Walker, Texas Ranger: Trial By Fire. Gomez also starred in the television
movie Brain Zapped. (Selena Gomez also found out that she wanted to be an
actress because in E Special she states that "I would also watch my mom on stage
do her lines".)
Gomez on the studio set of Wizards of
Waverly Place, 2007
In 2004, Gomez was discovered by the Disney Channel in a USA-wide scouting.[16] Gomez
appeared as a guest star on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and had a
guest appearance – that later turned into a recurring role – on Hannah Montana from seasons two to three.
Gomez previously taped two different pilots that were spin-offs to two previous
Disney series.[17] The
first one, What's Stevie Thinking?, was the spin-off to Lizzie McGuire. Gomez played Stevie Sanchez,
Miranda Sanchez's little sister. The other show was titled Arwin!, the spin-off to The Suite Life of
Zack & Cody, in which she played Alexa. Neither series was picked
up.
In early 2007, Gomez was cast in the Disney Channel series Wizards
of Waverly Place as one of the three main characters, Alex Russo. The show premiered to an audience of
5.9 million, becoming a hit. Many news outlets began dubbing Gomez the next
'Miley Cyrus' causing some controversy and a reported 'feud'. Gomez clarified
that there was no feud and that she was flattered by the comparison, saying:
"It's a little overwhelming, but I think really, it's a compliment. She's
obviously extremely successful, and I think she's a wonderful performer ... So
being compared to her, I was very, very flattered."[18] Gomez
recorded four songs, one of which was a cover, for the Wizards of Waverly Place soundtrack, only
one single (Magic) from the album was released. In 2008,
Gomez recorded a cover of "Cruella de Vil"—which included a music video—for
the compilation album DisneyMania 6. Gomez also recorded "Fly to
Your Heart" for the 2008 animated film Tinker Bell. In July 2008, before Gomez'

sequel to the 2004 Hilary Duff film, opposite Drew
Seeley. She also had a minor voiceover role as one the Mayor's

stated that she felt no pressure in taking more adult roles: "I think I’m fully
aware of my audience and I’m still just a kid myself. I wouldn’t do a role I
don’t feel comfortable doing or that my audience wouldn’t feel comfortable
seeing."[25] She
also began to date actor Taylor Lautner, who she met in Vancouver, while she was filming Ramona and Beezus and he was shooting New
Moon[26], and
the two dated for a few months. However, the pressure of the media became too
