Selena Gomez was born on July 22nd, 1992, Grade Prairie, Texas. She is of Mexican American and Italian decent. She is Catholic. Her parents divorced when she was 5 years of age, and was raised by her mother. In 2006, her parents remarried. She is named after the Tejano singer Selena.

Selena began her acting career when she was 7, playing Gianna on Barney & Friends. She also had a minor role in Spy Kids 3D: Game Over.

In 2004, Disney Channel discovered Selena in a nationwide scouting. She appeared in an episode of The Suite of Zack and Cody, and had a reoccurring role on Hannah Montana, from seasons two to three.
In early of 2007, Selena auditioned for Disney’s newest comedy series, Wizards of Waverly Place, and got the role as one of the main characters, Alex Russo. The premiere of the show gained an audience of 5.9 million, and the show has become successful ever since, having 4 seasons.
