Selena’s mother, Amanda Dawn “Mandy” Teefey (born: Amanda Dawn Cornett), was adopted by her parents, Debbie Jean Gibson and David Michael Cornett. Born in Texas, Mandy gave birth to Selena when she was just 16.

Selena’s dad, Ricardo Gomez, is of Mexican descent. His parents emigrated to Texas from Monterrey in the 1970s. Ricardo Gomez and Mandy Teefey were married for a few years and divorced when Selena was 5.

In 2006, Mandy married Brian Teefey and changed her name to Mandy Teefey. In 2013, they became the parents of Selena’s half-sister, Gracie Elliot Teefey.

In 2020, Mandy Teefey spoke with The Newsette about being the mom of a celebrity.

“It’s amazing and it makes me so proud, but fame can be hard, so I’d say it’s a little bit of both. To me, Selena is just my daughter! When you live in Hollywood, you’re in your own world. You don’t think about someone in Wisconsin knowing all your business, you know? So I want to defend her always and protect her always… At the same time, I can’t change anybody’s mind on social media, because social media is crazy! [Laughing.] So I try to stay in my lane, and stay off Instagram. Focus on the real stuff.”

Ricardo Gomez also remarried and had two children, Victoria “Tori” and Marcus Gomez, with his second wife, Sara.

“I’ve had a sliver of dealing with [racism] growing up, especially with my dad,”  Selena said in People’s “People of the Year” cover story about her Mexican ethnicity and racism.

“I’m always very vocal about my background, as far as me talking about immigration, and my grandparents having to come across the border illegally. I wouldn’t have been born (otherwise). I have such an appreciation for my last name,” she told Dazed in October 2020.
