Selena Gomez shared a pic of her and her mum side by side on instagram, and revealed just how similar she looks, completed with the caption 'Werk momma #igetitfrommymomma' which we happen to think is really cute.
The 22 year old has spoken about her mum in various interviews, remembering what it was like growing up when they didn't have much money: 'My mom gave up everything for me, had three jobs, supported me, sacrificed her life for me,’ she told E*! *earlier this year. 'I remember my mom would run out of gas all of the time and we’d sit there and have to go through the car and get quarters and help her get gas because she never liked to ask my grandparents for money.’
Her mum, Mandy Teefy, remembers those days well: ‘Yeah, we might have run out of gas – we did have to walk to the dollar store to get dollar spaghetti and make it … so we always had food but if I knew she wanted to go to a concert I would save up for it. You do the best you can with what you’re given.’
The pic also shows that all relations are fine between her and her mum after the singer fired her as her manager last year, saying she'd outgrown them rather than citing any family problems. She's also mentioned that, at a time, she was angry at her mum. ‘I wanted to have my mom and dad together. I remember just being angry with my mom. I still feel really bad about that,' she said.
Looks like all is forgiven now though, with Selena crediting Mandy for the way she's turned out - and despite the odd bump in the road, we think she's doing pretty well. #TeamSelena all the way.
