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 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.

Well in some pictures she looks fully white…
Bullshit. It’s obvious she has Mexican features. Why else would they have hired her to play a Hispanic character on that dumbass Disney show she used to be on. AND who the hell are you to be the judge on whether someone is “WHITE” or not. Give me a fucking break. Are you one of those dumbasses from Stormfront? Racist prick.
There is no something like “mexican features”.It is interesting the way people in Usa think about hispanic , when in Latin América is about a white heritage and culture.
She’s white, next.

She looks half Mexican half Italian.
Her mom is definitely full-blooded Italian, check out her pictures! In a youtube interview Selena says that her mom is full Italian and she was raised by her mom in a ‘VERY ITALIAN WAY’.
Where is this YouTube video? Selena’s mother was adopted by a WASP couple. I have a hard time believing her mother is “very Italian” culturally.
This is not the video that I meant but in this one she mentions that her mom is just Italian, no other ethnicities: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKChtcnPO1Q
If you look at her mom’s pictures you can see that she totally looks like 100% Southern Italian, she almost looks like Lea Michele’s mom who is 100% Italian as well.
She says that her mother found out later in life that she “has Italian roots”, not that her mother is of fully Italian descent.
Yes, she later says she is “half Mexican and half Italian”, but many people say they are “half” something, but are really just rounding up (Christina Aguilera – “half Irish”, Robert Downey, Jr. – “half Jewish”, Chris Evans – “half Italian” or “Italian”, etc.).
“If you look at her mom’s pictures you can see that she totally looks like 100% Southern Italian”
-Her mother looks 95% Dutch to me, so that’s what should be put in. I mean, going by this logic.
So why is it written here that her mom is “possibily” Italian? We know for sure that she is at least half Italian!
Done.
She looks exactly like a Middle-Eastern young lady. Same skin tone as Salma Hayek. Selena looks like a Middle-Eastern Lebanese or Egyptian
LOL
Italians has middle eastern ancestry so Spanish people they have middle ancestry in them she defiantly has British in her it’s been provern.
?
Where’s your proof?
Dear roman2886, you said that Selena Gomez is British, I want you to prove it with articles or research you have.?
She does looks Middle Eastern too. Like half Middle Eastern half Mexican. She doesn’t look white to me.
first of all middle easterns are white, secondly she doesn’t look arab in any way, she looks very mestizo (white + native south American) however the white would be southern European, thirdly how can someone look half Mexican? Mexican isn’t a race as it is a new world country, colonised by Europeans, unless when you say mexican you’re referring to the natives, but what you said is like saying someone looks half European and half Canadian
Middle easterns are not white, not all of them and not all arabs are white, go to saudi arabia, yemen, sudan, morrocco or egypt you’ll see yourself
In morocco they are mist likely pale or tanned like selena idk about the other countries
Sudan and Morrocco are definitely not Middle Eastern countries..They are both African countries.
Selena looks Mexican, she doesn’t look Italian to me, Italians look more Europeans than her.
Hi ihatemostpeople! Where would say this person comes from then? Plus she much more Caucasian looking than Selena. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153558252179738&set=a.10150128354544738.303065.712044737&type=1&theater
