Selena still feels proud to be part of the "Disney high school experience". Selena Gomez's 'whole life changed" when she joined Wizards of Waverly Place. The 33-year-old actress auditioned for a series of TV shows, including the spin-off of Lizzie McGuire, before she joined the cast of Wizards of Waverly Place, the hit Disney Channel sitcom. Selena – who starred on the TV show between 2007 and 2012 – said on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast: 'It was actually a weird thing because I was on three pilots for the Disney channel. One was the spin-off of Lizzie McGuire. One was the spin-off of The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, and the last one was Wizards." She added: 'So by then all of them didn't get picked up and I was just kind of at my wits' end, but not in a bad way, just kind of thought 'okay, well this is not going to work out' and Wizards got picked up and my whole life changed after that." Selena still feels proud to be part of the 'Disney high school experience". The brunette beauty – who has also enjoyed huge success with her music – reflected: 'It was an immediate feeling of oh I achieved my dream at that point in time." She said: 'I was such a huge fan of the channel. I was a huge fan of what they did for our generation, and it was an honour. I wear it proudly. I definitely am not ashamed of being part of the Disney high school experience … It was all of us, all from the Jonas Brothers, to Miley [Cyrus] and Demi [Lovato], and then it was Zendaya. It was just so cool to see all the people you so 'went to school with' if you will. It's good to see them all do their thing." Despite her success, Selena's family tried to ensure that she remained grounded. The actress – who is now engaged to record producer Benny Blanco – said: 'I just remember my mom being on my ass all the time about making sure that any sort of sudden exaggerated fan moment is meant to be treated with respect."

Selena Gomez Never Imagined She Would Date Benny Blanco After Justin Bieber, The Weeknd
Although she always found the record producer to be a lot of fun, Selena never thought they would have a romantic future together. Selena Gomez always found Benny Blanco to be 'funny" – but she never imagined they would get engaged. The 33-year-old star first met her future fiancé while she was still a teenager, and although she always found the record producer to be a lot of fun, Selena never thought they would have a romantic future together. During an appearance on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast, Selena shared: 'We met when I was 16 because we were going to possibly work together, but I didn't start releasing music until 17/18 officially, and so we saw each other around. It was nice, and then I don't know… I feel like he was an acquaintance, if that makes sense?" She added: 'To be honest, I wasn't besties. I just thought he was nice, and then we did a few songs together. Same Old Love, which was awesome, and we had a great time, nothing really there. And then I Can't Get Enough, which was with Tainy and J Balvin, didn't get it there either." Selena didn't consider Benny, 37, to be a potential romantic partner for many years. However, her attitude changed over time, and they're now set to tie the knot. The brunette beauty explained: 'I was so not… You know, when you realise you're not in that place anymore, you need to be where you are? It's all about timing to meet that person, even if I did think, 'Oh, I need to take this a step forward,' then it wouldn't have worked. Simply, you just have to be there mentally in order to move forward with something healthy." 'Then we reunited for Single Soon… it wasn't our favourite… just because I can say this cause I'm marrying him. Just really wasn't what I thought I wanted so he came in and he agrees on a lot of levels but he just came in and I was like oh 'Hi Benny' and we spoke for two hours and I asked him to hook me up with anybody that he knew that was cute and he was like, 'Oh we do these things, these dinner nights. You should come'… and next thing you know we're dating: Selena revealed. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
