Selena Gomez Relates With Gilmore Girls While Reflecting On Her Upbringing; Says, ‘It Felt Very…’

As someone who has followed Selena Gomez’s career since her days on Barney & Friends, it’s heartening to see how her upbringing in the entertainment industry has shaped her into the strong, grounded woman she is today. Her comparison of her relationship with her mother, Mandy Teefey, to the Gilmore Girls‘ Lorelai and Rory is apt – their shared experiences and unwavering bond are truly reminiscent of that beloved TV duo.

Selena Gomez reminisced about her childhood experiences in the world of showbiz and drew parallels between her relationship with her mom, Mandy Teefey, and the bond shared by Lorelai and Rory from Gilmore Girls.

In an interview with Saoirse Ronan on Variety’s Actors on Actors, the singer shared that her mother gave birth to her when she was only 16 years old. She also expressed that they essentially grew up together.

She expressed that the connection between them stood out as unique, feeling grateful for her closeness with Teefey. Moreover, she emphasized that they were always there to support each other. Additionally, she mentioned that it resembled the relationship in the TV show “Gilmore Girls,” if the analogy is clear, and this dynamic persisted for quite some time.

In the case of Gomez, who experienced a divorce between her parents at the age of 5, it was Teefey who took on the role of primary caregiver. The television series Gilmore Girls portrayed a comparable situation, with Lorelai single-handedly raising her daughter following her teenage birth.

Gomez’s mom took care of her as she navigated the show business world while still a youngster, much like Lorelai watched over her daughter when it came to choosing the right schools. This care and guidance led to significant success in shows such as Barney & Friends, Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana, and her pop career.

As a devoted follower, I’d like to share a personal insight from the vocalist of The Heart Want What It Wants. She expressed that her mother, Teffey, was truly exceptional. Interestingly, Teffey always ensured that the songstress, who is none other than me in this context, would never be left alone in a room growing up. This was because Teffey was cognizant of certain things that I, unaware at the time, needed guidance and protection from.

As a devoted admirer, if I were in her shoes, she might advise me: “If I had to attend a premiere at sixteen, she would remind me, ‘You can’t join the after-party; instead, just savor the moment and have fun. Later on, you’ll head home. Such small actions preserved my peace of mind.

According to reports, the singer of “Good For You” is said to have mentioned that her personal childhood experiences and strong relationship with Teefey helped her convincingly play the role of a mother in her recent movie, Emilia Perez.

White discussed working alongside the child actors from the film. Gomez mentioned it was “quite endearing” yet somewhat daunting for her. She reminisced about a scene called “Papa,” where her son sings to Karla Sofia Gascon’s character, which she found “very touching.” She also commented, “There is something about children that is so courageous, and I admire that immensely.
