Selena Gomez has an tattoo of a lower-case letter “g” behind her left ear for her baby sister Gracie, who was born on June 12, 2013. Her birth was extra special because Selena’s mother had a miscarriage in 2011 with another baby girl whom she had named Scarlett. Gracie Elliot Teefey is Selena’s half-sister and her very first sibling. Selena’s parents have been divorced since she was five years old and she was the only child that they had together, though she now has a second half-sister from her father: Victoria Gomez, who was born on June 25, 2014. Selena and Gracie share the same mother, Mandy Teefey, but Gracie’s father is Selena’s stepdad, Brian Teefey.
This tattoo was first seen in June 2015 and it took a few months for Selena to speak publicly about it’s meaning, leading to lots of speculation from fans and the media. Some thought that it was a letter “J” for her on-and-off boyfriend Justin Bieber or a “J” for Jesus. The most common belief was that Selena had joined a growing list of stars have have gotten “G” tattoos in honor of Georgia Veach, a pastor’s daughter who suffers from a rare and incurable brain disorder called Lissencephaly. Ashley Benson, Hailey Baldwin, and Justin Bieber have all gotten inked in Georgia’s honor. Selena finally put the rumors to rest by confirming that the “G” is for her own sister Gracie.
