Selena's father is Mexican, and her mother is of mixed blood, including British and Italian. It is not surprising that Selena’s temperament is an explosive mixture.
Until the age of five, the girl was absolutely happy child. The family owned a large farm, and the baby grew up in freedom. She spent a lot of time on fresh air, played with friends and animals and didn’t even imagine that there was another life.

In childhood
Selena didn’t like the metropolis at all - huge concrete jungle seemed hostile to her. Now she couldn't play alone in the yard. And my mother was constantly busy. Mandy once abandoned her acting career for the sake of her husband and daughter, but now she has started acting in commercials again and playing in small theaters.
There was no one to leave Selena with, and at a young age she was almost always forced to accompany her mother to filming or sit backstage while the play was on. Out of boredom, the girl began to imitate the actors, and they began to draw her mother’s attention to how accurately Selena copied other people’s habits.
Mandy was not at all surprised when, at six, Selena told her that she wanted to act in films. Then she started taking the girl to castings and showed her to her theatrical agent. At first, the little girl only got small videos or photo shoots, but at the age of nine, Selena was lucky - she was included in the main cast of the popular children's show about Barney Bear.

At the age of 11, the girl made her debut in a big movie, although so far only in an episode. She played a random girl in the family comedy Spy Kids. But during filming, the girl was able to meet and communicate with such stars as Antonio Banderas.
The debut was followed by several more minor roles. And Selena considers her first serious work to be one of the heroines of the youth series “Hannah Montana” Makayla.

Selena herself was only passionate about her career and was in her dreamy-romantic world, in which everything should be beautiful and correct. To prove this, she wore a chastity ring. This tradition is common among American girls and means that the owner will have first sex only after marriage.

A romance broke out between them, which at first both the guys and their producers tried to hide from the public. But real passion is difficult to keep within the bounds of decency. Less than a year later, the virginity ring disappeared from Selena’s finger, and soon quite bold photos appeared on the Internet in which the couple were together.
With Justin Bieber
But very soon quarrels began between them. Their reason was the growing popularity of Justin, who was constantly surrounded by crowds of fans. And he did not ignore some of them, believing that there was nothing special about it. Selena failed to catch him cheating, but constant scenes of jealousy did their job - in 2013 they broke up.
However, this again was only the official version. For another two whole years, their joint photos, where it was clear that they had not met by chance. Although now they both categorically denied that the relationship between them continued. Apparently, it was more convenient for them.

Personal life of Selena Gomez
At the age of 12, Selena Gomez put the so-called “purity ring” on her finger. This is a common tradition in the United States, according to which the girl wearing the ring accepts it as a symbol of chastity and vows to remain virgin 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.
