Bieber had a hectic life until he got Selena Gomez. The couple's personal life was far from ideal, helped by the singer's promiscuity. Spoiled by popularity, high earnings and the attention of girls, Justin constantly disappeared at parties, got drunk, and love text messages from other girls constantly came to his phone.
The couple broke off relations several times. Selena repeatedly tried to make contact, but constant betrayal nullified all attempts. A friend in the most difficult periods was supported by Taylor Swift, who could not stand the arrogant Canadian. Because of him, the girls even stopped communicating, but in 2016 Selena revised her attitude to many things, including friendship. In May, Taylor and our heroine showed up together at a fashion show at the Met.

The stunning appearance of Selena Gomez is the merit of her parents. From her father, Latin American Ricardo Gomez, she inherited a lush mane of curly hair and plump sensual lips, and from her mother, Anglo-Italian Mandy Cornette, she inherited a wide snow-white smile and bottomless brown eyes. And for such a rare name, the girl should be grateful to the singer Selena, very popular in the early 90s.When Selena Gomez was only five years old, her parents divorced. This was a real tragedy for the girl. The baby had to say goodbye to her hometown, friends and go with her mother from the quiet Texas town of Grand Prairie to the noisy and crowded Los Angeles.
Mandy was an actress - a profession that required full dedication, taking up all her personal time. Little Selena always tailed her mother to all the shootings. Each time the staff was touched by how aptly the girl copies the habits of the actors. Already at the age of 6, Selena told her mother that she wanted to become an actress.

But the real breakthrough for the young actress was the main role in the series "Wizards of Waverly Place", where she and other budding talents - Jennifer Stone, David Henry, Jake Austin - played the children of hereditary wizards. The series aired on Disney Channel for six years; during this time, Selena Gomez blossomed and turned into a charming girl.

"Wizards of Waverly Place": the peak of popularity of Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez & The Scene - A Year Without Rain
In the same 2009, the girl became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, being the youngest representative of the organization in history.
In 2010, Gomez got the lead roles in the films Monte Carlo and Ramona and Beezus. In the first film, she got the role of a poor girl who was mistakenly mistaken for the heiress of a huge fortune, and in the second, the sister of the restless little Ramona Quimby, played by 11-year-old Joey King.

With the growth of Selena's popularity, modeling contracts have been added to her busy filming schedule. Famous brands have repeatedly invited the beautiful Selena to become their advertising face. So, the girl took part in the campaigns of Louis Vuitton, Adidas, Pantene, Coca-cola.

The girl was fabulously popular - her Instagram profile was one of the most popular, and for one advertising publication she was paid about 500 thousand dollars.
Selena Gomez's personal life
At the age of 12, Selena Gomez put on her finger the so-called “purity ring”. It is a common tradition in the United States that a girl who wears a ring accepts it as a symbol of chastity and vows to keep her virginity 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. 
And the reason for this is pop singer Justin Bieber, an icon of millions of teenagers around the world. He noticed the baby-faced Hispanic beauty in 2010. More precisely, on the contrary, the girl, who was two years older than him and knew the rules of musical show business much better, at first glance wanted to protect this confused short boy. And he answered her in return.
This caused the anger of the young man's fans - in the first months of their romance, Selena's Twitter was torn from the incoming threats from Justin's fans. But, despite the obstacles, the relationship of star teenagers developed so rapidly that in January 2011 the purity ring disappeared from Selena's hand. Following this news, very candid photographs of teenagers appeared in the press: they kissed enthusiastically on the beach.
Apparently, Selena's lessons went to Justin's benefit. His popularity reached incredible heights, and the pleasures that star status opened up to him overshadowed the dignity of his girlfriend. He never turned down huge portions of attention from female fans, and once publicly flirted with Victoria's Secret model Barbara Palvin. Relatives of Selena said that it was Justin's constant flirting that caused the breakup of the star couple.
But, apparently, Selena's feelings for her ex-boyfriend did not fade away - in 2014 and 2015, the paparazzi caught them together more than once. And especially attentive journalists noticed that the actress sometimes walks around in Justin's clothes, and considered this a symbol of the couple's reunion.
Rumors came to an end when, in January 2016, Selena appeared in public with an unknown young man. They were holding a pen and chirping sweetly on their way to one of the fancy restaurants in Beverly Hills. Later it turned out that the guy's name is Samuel Krost - he is a musician, a frequenter of nightclubs and an advertising face of the Onia menswear brand. And after that, she began an affair with rapper The Weeknd.
In the fall of 2016, Selena Gomez announced that she was taking a sabbatical. Alas, the girl had serious health problems: an exacerbation of lupus caused bouts of depression and panic attacks. The girl apologized to the fans, saying that health comes first. She had to endure a kidney transplant, which was generously donated by her friend Francia Raisa.
After the operation, Gomez and Bieber began to communicate again: the singer bombarded the ex-girlfriend with messages. On October 22, 2017, they spent an evening in the company of mutual friends at Selena's apartment, a week later they were seen together at a church in Los Angeles. On October 30, Selena broke up with The Weeknd, and that evening she went to cheer for Justin at a hockey game. On November 15, at another hockey game, they kissed, marking the second life of their relationship.
