Rick Gomez Shares New Photo of Selena Gomez' Stepbrother Marcus: 'Happy Birthday, Bubba!'

Selena Gomez is the famous older sister to a step-brother and two half-siblings with whom she shares a close relationship. The star's blended family often appears on her social media and came about after her parents split when she was a little girl.

Although Selena didn't turn to Instagram to wish her step-brother Marcus a happy birthday, her father did. On March 27, Rick shared a picture of Marcus at an empty football stadium and sweetly wrote, "Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you know. Happy birthday, Bubba!"

Marcus' mother also paid tribute to her son on his 15th birthday in an Instagram story that featured a throwback of her teenager smiling. The text accompanying the photo read, "Don't mind me... I'll just be over here in my feelings today. Happy 15th birthday to my bubba!!"

Marcus also has an Instagram account which is set to private. The high schooler had amassed nearly 200 followers at the time of writing and has appeared on his famous stepsister's page. Before Marcus' mother, Sara, married Rick, she welcomed Selena's step-brother during a previous relationship.

After her parents went their separate ways, Selena's mother, Mandy Teefey, remarried a man named Brian Teefey. In 2013, when Selena was 21 and still filming "Wizards of Waverley Place," Mandy and Brian welcomed Gracie in 2013.

"She's adorable. I'm obsessed with her and becoming a big sister," the "Monte Carlo" star said. In 2019, Gracie was her sister's date to the premiere of "Frozen 2," where the half-sisters arrived in adorable matching outfits.

After Rick and Sara married, they welcomed Selena's second half-sister Victoria, who often goes by Tory. During one of Selena's concerts, Tory was one of the fans in the crowd cheering the singer on and wore a shirt that read "That's My Sissy!" on the back.

Selena's father was born in Mexico and met her mother during their high school days in Texas. They were still teenagers when Mandy fell pregnant with their daughter and gave birth on July 22, 1992, in Grand Prairie, Texas. After she was born, Selena's parents tied the knot.

However, their relationship did not last, and they had parted ways by the time the Disney star was five years old. Rick was not very present in his daughter's life during her childhood and teenage years. "... it was really me and my mom, our journey," Selena Gomez revealed. However, the father and daughter appear to be on better terms as the actress has appeared on her father's social media.
