Selena Gomez Shares Sisterly Shopping Moment on Instagram
Pop star and actress Selena Gomez offered fans a glimpse into her family life this weekend, posting a charming snapshot to her Instagram Story that featured her trying on shoes with her younger half-sister, Gracie Elliot Teefey. The 33-year-old celebrity and the 12-year-old were captured showing off a pair of matching red heeled boots during a casual shopping excursion.
A Heartfelt Caption for a Simple Joy
Over the image of the sister duo, Gomez wrote a relatable caption about the simple pleasures of family time, accompanied by a peace sign emoji. 'Love when I go to stores to try everything on w my sister and then leave,' she shared, highlighting the fun of browsing without the pressure to purchase. This post is the latest in a series of public displays of affection between the siblings, who share a close bond despite their significant twenty-year age gap.
A Bond That Spans Years and Red Carpets
Gomez has been openly vocal about her deep connection with Gracie over the years. The younger Teefey frequently appears on the 'Only Murders in the Building' star's social media feeds. Their relationship extends beyond low-key hangouts at home; Gomez has notably brought Gracie as her date to several high-profile red carpet events, integrating her into her glamorous professional world.
Their mother, Mandy Teefey, shares Gracie with her husband Brian Teefey, who is Gomez's stepfather. Mandy is also Gomez's mother from her previous marriage to Rick Gomez. This blended family dynamic has fostered a particularly strong sisterly connection.
A Sweet Wedding Moment for the Sister
The strength of this family bond was beautifully illustrated during Gomez's wedding to music producer Benny Blanco in September 2025. A source revealed to Us Weekly that the ceremony included a meaningful gesture toward Gracie. During the exchange of vows, Blanco reportedly gifted the young girl a thoughtful coupon book.
'If she needed something from them like a day to hang out or a shopping spree, Gracie could use a coupon with them for whatever she needed,' the insider shared, describing the moment as so touching it moved attendees to tears. The source added that the entire wedding was an emotional affair with 'very eclectic' decor that reflected Blanco's personal style, similar to that of their Beverly Hills marital home.
An Almost-Cake Catastrophe Revealed
In a humorous postscript to the wedding story, Gomez's co-star Martin Short recently recounted on Jimmy Kimmel Live how he nearly caused a major faux pas. The actor explained that at the reception, he mistakenly attempted to cut into what he thought was a section cake, but was actually the main wedding cake before the newlyweds had their moment.
After causing his group to scream in alarm, the cake required quick 'surgery' from the chef to repair the mishap. Short joked that his fellow castmate Steve Martin was 'so stunned... he gained color.' Despite efforts to keep the incident from Gomez, the bride later approached Short saying, 'Hey Marty, I heard you tried to eat my cake.'
Gomez and Blanco, who confirmed their relationship in 2023 and got engaged in December 2024, continue to share their lives with fans, with family moments like the recent shopping trip with Gracie remaining a cherished part of her narrative.
