Selena Gomez, born July 22, 1992, in Grand Prairie, Texas, is an American singer, actress, and producer. She began her acting career on the children’s television series Barney & Friends (2002-2004) but gained popularity as Alex Russo in the Disney Channel television series Wizards of Waverly Place (2007-2012). Gomez is one of the world’s biggest pop stars, having released three studio albums that have sold over 15 million units worldwide. Time magazine named her one of the world’s 100 most influential people in 2020.
Along with her television career, Gomez has appeared in the films Another Cinderella Story (2008), Princess Protection Program (2009), Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie (2009), Ramona and Beezus (2010), Monte Carlo (2011), Spring Breakers (2012), Getaway (2013), The Fundamentals of Caring (2016), The Dead Don’t Die (2019), a Rainy Day in New York (2019), and voiced the character Mavis in the Hotel Transylvania (2012–2022).
Through her production company, July Moonhead Productions, Gomez executive produced the Netflix television series 13 Reasons Why (2017–2020) and Living Undocumented (2019). She also executive produces and stars in HBO Max’s Selena + Chef (2020-present) and Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building (2021-present). The latter earned her critical acclaim and a Critics’ Choice Television Awards nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy Series.
With her former band, Selena Gomez & the Scene, she released three albums, all charted in the top ten on the US Billboard 200 and were certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America. Moreover, each of her three solo studio albums—Stars Dance (2013), Revival (2015), and Rare (2020)—debuted at the top of the Billboard 200. She also released the Spanish-language EP Revelación (2021), which earned Selena Gomez her first Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Album at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.
Selena Gomez Workout
Selena Gomez exercises to stay toned and fit, but it also helps her manage lupus symptoms. The singer revealed in 2015 that she had been diagnosed with the autoimmune disease, which can cause fatigue, muscle pain, and joint swelling, and that it had led to her undergoing a kidney transplant in 2017. She works out three to five days a week, or daily for an hour, but sometimes only does 20 minutes because listening to your body is essential. It is best to modify your workout when you are tired or sick.
Her training sessions involve plenty of weight training, circuit training, core exercises, and Pilates. But it’s not just about strength exercises—Selena does cardio three to five times a week for about 30 minutes. This can range from running, walking, or dancing to jumping jacks, skipping rope, or high-intensity interval training. She also changes up her exercise routines to avoid boredom and to avoid or postpone reaching a plateau in workout performance.
While it may be tempting to skip your cooldown, doing so will limit your ability to achieve your full potential. She always finds time to stretch, regardless of the type of training. It keeps you flexible, improves your performance, decreases your risk of injuries, increases muscle blood flow, aids in joint mobility, and allows your muscles to function at their peak.

Selena Gomez Diet Plan
Selena does not starve herself but tries to choose healthy options whenever possible. She frequently consumes rice bowls with vegetables, protein, and avocado. It gave her the energy she needed to get through her shows. She also eats healthy chicken salad with grapes and celery, which quenches her thirst while providing protein. In general diet advice, she says the most important thing is to use high-quality, fresh ingredients. Real food tastes so much better than processed food. The singer suggests going to a local farmers market or trying to buy organic vegetables, fruits, and hormone-free/grass-fed meat at the grocery store. She also emphasizes the importance of getting enough sleep and drinking plenty of water. Your body needs rest to repair and regenerate.
- Breakfast: breakfast burrito with scrambled egg, chorizo, rice, avocado, and beans or fruit and granola yogurt bowl.
- Snacks: mixed nuts.
- Lunch: turkey taco salad with creamy avocado dressing.
- Dinner: steamed salmon and Veggie rice bowl.
- Snacks: apple, carrot, celery, and kale juice.
Selena Gomez Supplements
Selena Gomez takes Vitamins A, C, and E, which have antioxidant properties. A diet high in antioxidants may lower the risk of many chronic diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and macular degeneration. Antioxidants scavenge free radicals from body cells and prevent or reduce the damage caused by oxidation. She also takes vitamin B12 supplements because even if you consume enough vitamin B12 through your diet, your B12 levels may still be lower than they should be if you have lupus or another autoimmune disease. Lupus medications can increase the risk of osteoporosis, so taking a calcium supplement is a good idea.
