Selena Gomez wishes sister Gracie a happy 12th birthday with sweet social media post with throwback snaps
Selena Gomez shared a number of throwback snaps to celebrate the 12th birthday of her half-sister Gracie Teefey.
The 32-year-old actress and singer's mother Mandy re-married Brian Teefey, and they welcomed Gracie on June 12, 2013.
Gomez took to Instagram on Thursday to wish her sister a very happy birthday, and share some snaps of the two throughout the years, which came as a new video sparked health concerns.
'Happy birthday to my baby sissy. As I cry writing this, my heart melts because I know you know I'm always on your side. No matter what. I love you baby girl,' Gomez wrote.
The post sent out to her whopping 419 million followers has over 2.8 million likes and a number of sweet comments from celebs like Lily Collins and Ashley Park.
The first snap showed Gracie as a newborn wearing a colorful onesie as Selena was seen holding and kissing her hand.
The second was much more recent, showing a pajama party with the two both wearing matching black PJs with white slippers while hugging on the floor.
The third snap featured a smiling Ashley while they were out to eat while the fourth slide was a brief video.
They were both seen hiding behind sweaters in the fifth pic, with Gracie donning a star on her forehead.
The sixth snap showed Gracie holding up a small plate with I Heart U written on it while the seventh showed them in full cosplay at the Frozen II premiere in 2019.
The eighth pic showed them enjoying a meal at a scenic oceanfront locale while the ninth showed two different pics, one more recent and one of a much younger Gracie sipping on some soda.
The tenth pic showed Gracie holding a huge bear while the 11th pic was from Gracie's early years as they both embraced.
A number of celebs commented on Selena's post, including actress Lily Collins, who said, 'the sweeeetest.'
Influencer Taylen Biggs added, 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACIE! Can't wait to meet you one day soon.'
Celebrity tan artist Isabel Alysa added, 'You are the best big sister!! happy birthday,' while Ashley Park added, 'Ultimate cuties.'
The sweet post came just days after she appeared to be 'vaping' as she got her hair and makeup done for her night out with pal Taylor Swift on May 31.
Gomez — who suffers from lupus and underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 — could be seen exhaling a vapor-like mist as she scrolled through her iPhone.
Another angle showed her holding what looked like an e-cigarette or vape pen, which produces an aerosol that typically contains nicotine, in her left hand as makeup artist Hung Vanngo applied her eyeliner.

Expert reveals the phone lock screen which could mean that you're a self-absorbed 'narcissist'
Choosing what to use as the background of your phone lock screen is a small decision - but it could say a lot about you. Take US President Donald Trump, for example, who was lambasted last week for adorning his phone screen with a photograph of none other than himself. Social media users spotted a golden opportunity to mock the president after the reveal when he alighted Air Force One last month. It clearly showed an image of the POTUS himself from July 2019, pointing straight at the camera - or at himself whenever he looks at it. Critics said it was evidence of Trump's 'narcissistic' personality, branding him as 'self-absorbed'. But what does yours say about the persona you project to the outside world? While they aren't necessarily accurate depictions of the device owner's personality, it's safe to say that, for most people, wallpapers serve as great place for snaps of loved ones, cherished pets, or anything that could put a positive spin on the day. Holly Beedon, Clinical Lead from Living Well UK, told Femail that it can offer a 'subtle but revealing window into how we see ourselves, what we value, and where our attention naturally drifts'. What we choose for our phone lock screen can sometimes reflect certain traits of our personality or life stage that we are in, says expert Holly Beedon. Stock image used 'While there's no definitive psychological diagnosis to be made from a single image, patterns and preferences can hint at our emotional priorities and unconscious self-messaging,' she continued. If you, like Trump, have a selfie of yourself as your phone lock screen, you may be seen as 'somewhat self-centred', she continued - adding that, 'in some cases, this is true'. 'This kind of imagery could be tied to narcissistic traits – specifically the desire to admire one's own image, or curate a specific identity.' However, she caveats that 'it's not always that simple'. 'Some people use a flattering photo of themselves during a period when they felt confident, motivated, or empowered – this almost serves a visual pep talk to oneself,' she added. There are other, more practical reasons for why someone might choose a photo of themselves for their phone lock screen. Doing so can make it easier to return a lost phone to its rightful owner, for example. Holly continued: 'So, while self-image can certainly play a role, the intention behind the choice to make yourself your own lock screen matters just as much.' Meanwhile, picking a photo of a partner to look at whenever your phone lights up 'often reflects emotional closeness and romantic focus', she explained. 'It can signal that the relationship is central to that person's life or that they find comfort and motivation in seeing their significant other daily. For some, it's a private way of reinforcing connection and intimacy in a busy or stressful life.' This could be the reason behind Kylie Jenner's phone screen, which she revealed in 2023 had a snap of boyfriend Timothee Chalamet leaning in to kiss her cheek. Some people choose to use photos of their family members, such as children or parents, and this usually represents 'strong emotional bonds and values rooted in caregiving, tradition, or identity'. Mike Tindall demonstrated this in 2019 when he revealed an adorable family photo featuring his wife Zara Tindall and their daughter Mia, who was five at the time, on his phone screen while he was away in Japan. Parents with multiple children tread in dangerous waters, though, if they display just one child on their lock screen. It doesn't necessarily mean that the child who lights up the screen is their 'favourite', but that could be how others might perceive it, Holly warned. 'It might simply be the most recent photo taken, or one that captures a particularly proud moment,' she remarked. 'Still, if this is a consistent pattern, it could suggest a closer bond with one child, or that they identify more strongly with that particular relationship.' Having a photo of friends on a lock screen can often indicate that the device owner is someone who 'thrives on social connection and values their chosen relationships deeply'. How you come to the decision of who takes pride of place on your phone screen can be a surprisingly emotional decision, and having friends there could reflect 'a stage of life where friendships are the primary support system'. As Britons become ever more pet-obsessed - with figures showing an estimated 60 per cent of UK households owning at least one pet - it's no surprise that our furry friends are a popular lock screen choice. Having them on your phone can represent a strong emotional attachment, and could also mean your pet is a source of daily comfort. 'Pets often bring a calming or joyful energy to someone's day,' Holly continued. 'And having them on a lock screen can reflect that soothing or stabilising role.' People and pets aside, some phone owners prefer to have images of nature or scenery, which might suggest a need for calm, inspiration, or escapism, the expert added. 'People who use these photos may value mindfulness, solitude, or feel most themselves when outdoors,' she explained. 'Sometimes, these photos serve as visual reminders to slow down or to mentally return to a peaceful place during the stress of daily life.' Others yet have photos of seemingly random objects - but Holly says these are 'rarely random at all' and usually represent something meaningful to the person whose phone it is. It could be anything from 'a goal, an aesthetic, a private joke, or a vision board of sorts'. Some people may even use their phone lock screen as a means of visualisation or manifestation, using it as 'daily cues to focus the mind and align behaviours with a goal'. Finally, there's the phone owners who simply have a blank screen - although these people are increasingly few and far between. If you do come across someone who has nothing at all on their phone background, it could be because they prefer minimalism, privacy, or to avoid distractions as much as possible. 'A blank lock screen might reflect a desire for digital simplicity, or a subtle resistance to the emotional pull of personal photos,' Holly suggested. 'For others, it's simply a way to protect mental space - deliberately not engaging with their phone on an emotional level. 'Ultimately, a lock screen isn't a psychological blueprint, you can't know somebody through such a small detail - but it can be a telling snapshot of what someone wants to see – how they want to feel - or be reminded of - multiple times a day.'

Victoria gushes 'David really does look after me' as son Brooklyn Beckham shows off his love letter tattoo tribute for wife Nicola Peltz amid family feud
Victoria Beckham has shared a sweet gesture from her husband David, gushing that 'he really does look after me'. As their family feud deepens, Victoria posted a picture of a postit note David had written for her which read: 'I love you... Drink for energy focus + gut xxx' '@davidbeckham really does look after me', she captioned the photo. As Victoria shared the moving marital exchange, her son Brooklyn Beckham showed off his love letter tattoo from his wife Nicola Peltz. The wannabe chef, 26, along with his actress wife, 30, have been engulfed in the escalating rift with Victoria and David, with his parents believed to be concerned about the influence the billionaire heiress has over their eldest son. Sharing an update to Instagram on Wednesday, Brooklyn uploaded a photo of his tattoo in which Nicola claims they can 'get through it together.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The poem, which she wrote before their wedding day in 2022, reads: 'My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. 'You have the kindest heart I've ever met and hope I never go a day without your love. I think you are so incredible.' It concludes: 'Just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wifey.' The giant love letter is just one of a series of permanent tributes to Nicola that Brooklyn has etched on his body. Brooklyn - a self proclaimed tattoo addict - also unveiled the words 'mama's boy' on his chest in 2019 to honour his fashion designer mother. Amid the ongoing feud which has since brought the celebrity offspring and his parents apart, a recent shoot for Glamour magazine revealed that Brooklyn has savagely chosen to cover up the tattoo tribute to Victoria. The small two-word inking has been layered at some point in the last year with a bunch of flowers - seemingly another tattoo tribute to his wife Nicola, of which he already has more than 70. Brooklyn has reportedly 'told his famous family that he wants no contact' with them in the latest devastating turn of their ongoing feud. While a source close to him denied the claims, a source told Page Six: 'Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect.' According to the publication, the eldest Beckham boy has had no communication with his family following father David's knighthood being announced last week and only learned of the news in the media alongside the rest of the world. Denying he'd asked for no contact, a source close to Brooklyn told the publication: 'Everyone's focus should be David Beckham 's great honour'. MailOnline have contacted David's reps for comment. Last month, MailOnline revealed that tensions in the family have grown so bitter that the Cruz was going out of his way to avoid his estranged brother. He has taken to contacting the family's favourite hangouts ahead of any visits to confirm that he won't cross paths with his sibling. Cruz is said to have sent messages to the owners of their haunts specifically asking questions such as, 'Is Brooklyn there?', to make sure the coast was clear. And he even follows that up with a request to 'let him know' if his brother later turned up, sources say.
