Her roles include the films Another Cinderella Story, Ramona and Beezus, Monte Carlo, Spring Breakers, Getaway, Rudderless, Behaving Badly, The Fundamentals of Caring, In Dubious Battle, The Dead Don’t Die, A Rainy Day in New York, and, in voice role, Hotel Transylvania, and its sequels; and Dolittle (2020); and the series Barney & Friends, Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena + Chef, and Only Murders in the Building. She has released music as part of the band Selena Gomez & the Scene, including the songs “Who Says” and “Love You Like a Love Song,” and as a solo artist, including the songs “Come & Get It,” “Good for You,” “Same Old Love,” “Hands to Myself,” “Love You to Love Me,” and, in a featured role, “Calm Down.” She founded the film/television production company July Moon Productions, cosmetics company Rare Beauty, and makeup, clothing, handbag, and fragrance lines. She has been a UNICEF ambassador, and worked with charities focusing on mental health and gender, racial, and LGBT issues.
She is the daughter of Mandy Dawn (Cornett), a stage actress, and Ricardo Joel Gomez. Her father is of Mexican descent, with roots in Monterrey. Her mother was adopted by Debbie Jean (Gibson) and David Michael Cornett, and was raised in Texas. Selena has stated that, later in life, her mother found out that, by birth, she “has Italian roots.” It is not clear if her mother is of fully or partially Italian background; she has been referred to as both in press reports. Selena’s mother’s adoptive parents are mostly of British Isles descent. David was born in Texas, and is the son of Ernest William Cornett and Helen Elizabeth Spangler. Debbie is the daughter of J. C. Gibson and Lois Maybell Pierce.
Selena’s parents separated when she was five years old, and her mother later married Brian Teefy.
She was named after Tejano singer and actress Selena Quintanilla-Pérez. Selena has released a Spanish-language EP.
Selena’s paternal grandfather is named José Ricardo Gómez.
Selena’s paternal grandmother is named María Eugenia “Mary” Ramos.

this is what Selena Gomez Says – “I really want to get Rosetta Stone, because I really need to learn my language,” the 18-year-old dished to Latina.com while she was in New York City promoting her new film Ramona & Beezus. Gomez—who is Italian on her mother’s side and Mexican on her father’s side—loves her fellow Latinos, but admits she occasionally experiences trepidation at Latin awards shows because she’s not entirely confident in her language skills.
Mexican is a race. Her dad comes from Mexico he was born there. Her mom is Italian.
She’s basically more of her dads side he was raised and born in New Mexico!
People want her to be white so bad lmfao!
mexican is not a race dumbass
mexican is a cultural heritage,not a race
Alright shes spanish are you happy now??? JACKASS
Spanish is not a race, nor is Mexican. You can be from Mexico or Spain and be black, white, or asian. There is no set color for either of those countries. You are ignorant.
You’re a dumbass! Mexican may not be a race but in my book it is.
If her dads MEXICAN & THIS MAKES HER SPANISH, LATINA, IDGAF
IT MAKES HER THE SAME AS HER DADDY.
DUMB ASS BITCH!
THIS IS WHAT SELENA SAID – “I really want to get Rosetta Stone, because I really need to “, learn my language,”
DID YOU HEAR THAT SHE SAID SHE REALLY NEEDS TO LEARN ” HER ” <– LANGUAGE!
SHES SPANISH AND SHE NEEDS TO LEARN HER LANGUAGE BITCH!
you are so dumb, just because she said she needs to learn spanish does NOT mean she is full spanish. she is MEXICAN, mexicans speak spanish, doesn’t means all mexicans are spaniards, its like saying african american people are english just because the language they speak is english, mexicans are predominantly mestizo, which means she could be a mix of spanish (european) and indigenous on her dad’s side.
her race could therefore be mixed white (european) and native
her nationality is american
her cultural heritage is latin/hispanic
and her ethnicity is italian and mexican *with spanish and possibly native ancestry.
I watched the video that Rachael posted above she clearly states shes Latino! Jackass watch the video

Now tell me how much of an Idiot you’re.
i specifically said her cultural heritage is latin/hispanic. stupid dumbass
Thank you for admitting you’re an idiot much appreciated!
and you are a dumb fuck that doesn’t know how to read. good luck you need it
mexicans are usually 70%+ euro on autosomal dna tests.
her mother clearly looks half anglo-saxon:

I think if you tested her she’d be abt 15% NA [native american] or less the rest european.
But culturally yes she is half mexican, and she looks quite hispanic/italian.Though ive seen plenty of eastern european, turkish and middle eastern [syrian] girls that look exactly like her.
I have no interest in makng her seem white as im mixed race myself.
To Katie
(your words):mexicans are usually 70%+ euro on autosomal dna tests
If this was true,that might be because many Mexicans aren’t really native to the country.Their families most likely have come in the last 100 or so yrs.Like what Fuzzy say,many Euro groups have settled in Mexico,and might pretty much have stayed to themselves,or not.This was also the what was intended for Mexico,by José Vasconcelos cosmic race theory;to make Mexicans primarily Euro(with a little bit of African,Asian,and Native mixed in).Look his theory up,if you don’t believe me
to katie
her mom is italian and mexicans are predominantly mixed [mostly mestizo]
most mesitzos have more white then native american it may not look like it but yes
oh and she’s extremely fluent in Mexican Spanish! it was her first language!! and she has a little bit of native-salvy, too.
okay you Nazis?? jeez, she’s soooo Mexican and beautiful. i love her dark skin and pointy nose and Asian-ish looking eyes
just like Mexican girls!!! <3333heart!
selena told latina magazine she wanted to learn spanish, this was a few months back. evidence http://bit.ly/amrm04
so you dont know what you’re talking about
She’s still Mexican, So it doesn’t matter!
WOW John, you are really ignorant and sad. You have no clue about race, culture or ethnicity. Poor soul.
shes half mexican and spanish is not her frst language, it is english
She is like %100 native-mexican. wtf.
half english half italian? that would mean she’s bi-racial (half-white, half-mexican) which isn’t clearly.
You people need to get your facts straight and stop guessing that she’s english just based on a lastname which she could’ve gained through ancestral marriage, etc. (meaning: maybe, somewhere along the line having a bit of english blood that’s diluted or what not- she’s still native mexican!) this is so insulting- she’s proud to be native-mexican, you know.
freaking racists. god.
you said half white half mexican. White is a race, mexican is a nationality. Two COMPLETELY different things.
Nobody guessed that she was English through her last name because she’s obviously not English and her last name is definitely not English.
Half Italian, Half Mexican. Although we know her mom is not fully Italian, it doesn’t matter. SELENA IS 100% AMERICAN. So is her mom, and so is her dad. Just because Selena’s great-great-great-great-great times 20 once removed grandfather’s aunt is Italian does not make her Italian. I hate when Americans with very very distant foreign heritage try to jump and claim it when they know nothing about it.
american isnt a race its just where she was born. you dont know how distant her Itakian ancestors are either.
i’m with you anyways most americans aren’t native americans….i know native americans possibly come from asia btw….
what the hell? indigenous americans do not come from asia
she is not 100% native mexican her mother is italian american and her father is an american born mexican mestizo. soo shes more white then native american. she never said sahe was native you know.
Heey selena.! I lov u.!
