Today admirers of the American singer Selena Gomez were waiting for a pleasant surprise: in the press they placed an archive photo of a tiny Selena with her parents. And if Gomez has a very warm relationship with his mother, and they often fall under the sights of the paparazzi's cameras, then journalists can see very rarely with the father's singer.
After the picture was replicated on the Internet, many fans expressed the opinion that Selena chose a guy, rapper The Weeknd, very similar to her father. And in this there is no doubt, because in addition to the external similarity of lovers, there are also very similar destinies. Performers appeared in the families of emigrants, although they arrived in the US from different countries. So, Gomez's parents come from Italy and Mexico, and the breadwinner The Weeknd came from Ethiopia. In addition, the children in their childhood encountered the separation of their parents.
Divorce of parents Selena greatly alarmed
Gomez was born when her mother Mandy was 16 years old. At the age of 5, the girl learned that her parents had prepared the documents for trial in order to divorce. For Selena, it was a terrible blow, because the girl was crazy about them. So Gomez recalls that period:
"After my father left I constantly sobbed and called him, but when they explained to me that he would live separately, I started a real agony. I yelled at Mandy and waved my fists, and after growing up a bit I accused her of the fact that her father had left her because of her. Now I realize what kind of painful words these are. To give everything I need, my mother went to work for 3 different companies. I realized that she was very tired, but she did not fully understand what she was doing for me. I understand now that my mother sacrificed herself for me and for my future. "
In her interviews, Selena often recalls the times when she was still a baby and communicated with her father:
"Now I'm very grateful to my parents, because they did not forbid me to see both my father and my mother. For some reason, I remember most of all our trips with my father to the Hooters Cafe. I was very pretty, and many young waitresses paid attention to us. Dad was very flattered. "
By the way, now father and mother Gomez are married again, but, truth, not on each other. They have recently had girls in unions, so Selena now has 2 step-in sisters.

The Weeknd could not survive the separation of parents
Abel Tesfey, who is known by the pseudonym The Weeknd, learned about the separation of his mother and father in 10 years. After this news he was sent to live with his grandmother, and my mother was forced to work constantly. Unlike Selena Abel saw his parents very rarely. That's why he began to develop depression, and when he tried light drugs it became easier. By the way, at that time, Tesfei was only 11 years old. Grandma did not notice the constant variability of the mood of the future rapper, writing off everything for adolescence. A few years later, Abel tried hard drugs and could not stop. Whether the 26-year-old musician now accepts prohibited drugs, the press is not known, only in his last interview Abel said these words:
"Because of my parents' divorce, I was very ill, that's why I started taking drugs. I like that they cheer up. Somehow I caught myself thinking that I can not live without them. "
